Space-time structuring of light - where spatial and temporal degrees of freedom are deliberately coupled and controlled - is an emerging area of optics that enables novel configurations of electromagnetic fields. Of particular importance…

We initiate the development of a horizon-based initial (or rather final) value formalism to describe the geometry and physics of the near-horizon spacetime: data specified on the horizon and a future ingoing null boundary determine the…

We derive expressions for the scattering, extinction and conversion of the chirality of monochromatic light scattered by bodies which are characterized by a T-matrix. In analogy to the conditions obtained from the conservation of energy,…

The model of the universe is considered in which background of the universe is not defined by the matter but is a priori specified as a homogenous and isotropic flat space. The scale factor of the universe follows the linear law. The scale…

In this paper, we study some interesting properties of a spherically symmetric oscillating soliton star made of a real time-dependent scalar field which is called an oscillaton. The known final configuration of an oscillaton consists of a…

In this work we analyze the viability of use a particular models of scalar fields in the context of the galactic dark matter problem. These models are based on a single scalar field, minimally coupled to the gravity in a asymptotically flat…

We study the properties of spacelike singularities in spherically symmetric spacetimes obeying the Einstein equations, in the presence of matter. We consider in particular matter described by a scalar field, both in the presence of an…

When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…

The scattering of free particles constrained to move on a cylindrically symmetric curved surface is studied. The nontrivial geometry of the space contributes to the scattering cross section through the kinetic as well as a possible scalar…

For arbitrary reciprocal single-mode structures, regardless of their geometric shapes or constituent materials, there must exist incident directions of plane waves for which they are optically achiral.

Spiral galaxies show axial symmetry and an intrinsic 2D-chirality. Environmental effects can influence the chirality of originally isolated stellar systems and a progressive loss of chirality can be recognised in the Hubble sequence. We…

A necessary condition for a globally hyperbolic spacetime ${\mathbb R}\times \Sigma$ to admit a maximal slice is that the Cauchy slice $\Sigma$ admit a metric with nonnegative scalar curvature, $R\ge 0$. In this paper, the two cases…
