Over time, tides synchronize the rotation periods of stars in a binary system to the orbital period. However, if the star exhibits differential rotation then only a portion of it can rotate at the orbital period, so the rotation period at…

We introduce a general framework for the study of the diffraction of waves by cone points at high frequencies. We prove that semiclassical regularity propagates through cone points with an almost sharp loss even when the underlying operator…
