We review and discuss information on the mass distribution of galaxy clusters obtained from gravitational lensing.
We present the first detailed computations of wave optics effects in the gravitational lensing of binary systems. The field is conceptually rich, combining the caustic singularities produced in classical gravitational lensing with quantum…
When gravitational waves travel from their source to an observer, they interact with matter structures along their path, causing distinct deformations in their waveforms. In this study we introduce a novel theoretical framework for wave…
Comments on the results presented at the Conference "Frontiers Beyond the Standard Model," FTPI, Oct. 2012. This summary traces a historical perspective. v2: A reference corrected and a footnote added; v3: a few grammar mistakes and typos…
This summary is an attempt to overview the wealth of new results and ideas in quarkonium physics presented at the Seattle Workshop.
It has been proposed to study gravitational lenses from measurements of the spectrum of the fluctuations of the output current of a quadratic detector. The spatial correlation coefficient of the source is the fundamental parameter of the…
Generalizing a result for the binary lens, similar alternative expressions are also given for the Jacobian determinant for a gravitational lens consisting of an arbitrary number of discrete lensing centres, with arbitrary masses and…
We review the foundations of Einstein's general theory of relativity, discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity, and present motivations for new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We discuss the…
We study the general theorem about gravitational lensing which states the relationship between the numbers of images with different parities. Our formulation allows an extension to the nontransparent and singular model.
It is noted that some results of the author's research papers cited in the comprehensive review paper "The Science of Sungrazers, Sunskirters, and Other Near-Sun Comets" by G. H. Jones et al. (2018) have been factually misrepresented. The…
We summarize the theory and phenomenology of the Color Glass Condensate reviewed previously by E. Iancu and the author in hep-ph/0303204. In addition, we discuss some of the subsequent developments in the past year both in theory and in…
A personal recollection of events that preceded the construction of Supergravity and of some subsequent developments.
As per organizers' request, my talk at the 11th Marcel Grossmann Conference consisted of two parts. In the first, I illustrated recent advances in loop quantum gravity through examples. In the second, I presented an overall assessment of…
We provide an introduction to selected recent advances in the mathematical understanding of Einstein's theory of gravitation.
Raised menisci around small discs positioned to pull up a water-air interface provide a well controllable experimental setup capable of reproducing much of the rich phenomenology of gravitational lensing (or microlensing events) by $n$-body…
Here I share a few notes I used in various course lectures, talks, etc. Some may be just calculations that in the textbooks are more complicated, scattered, or less specific; others may be simple observations I found useful or curious.
We present lenscat, a public and community-contributed catalog of strong gravitational lenses found by electromagnetic surveys. The main objective of lenscat is to compile a simple, easy-to-access catalog that can be used in a variety of…
I review Chandra's achievements in the last two years in AGN research. I concentrate on some topics of my interest; some others are reviewed in an accompanying article by K. Nandra. I comment briefly on the need to allow for the discovery…
Gravitationally lensed curved arcs provide a wealth of information about the underlying lensing distortions. Extracting precise lensing information from extended sources is a key component in many studies aiming to answer fundamental…
I present a brief theory overview of the CHARM-2015 conference.
