Using analytical Lorenz--Mie scattering formalism and numerical methods, we analyze the response of active particles to electromagnetic waves. The particles are composed of homogeneous, non-magnetic, and dielectrically isotropic medium.…
D3-branes feel no force in no-scale flux compactifications of type IIB string theory, but the nonperturbative effects required to stabilize the Kahler moduli break the no-scale structure and generate a potential for D3-brane motion,…
The amplitudes for emission and scattering of N=2 strings off D-branes are calculated. We consider in detail the amplitudes <cc> and <occ> for the different types of D-branes. For some D-branes we find massive poles in the scattering…
An effective black-hole-like horizon occurs, for electromagnetic waves in matter, at a surface of singular electric and magnetic permeabilities. In a physical dispersive medium this horizon disappears for wave numbers with $k>k_c$.…
We study the low energy effective theory of two sets of D3-branes overlapping in 1+1 dimensions, recently considered by Mintun, Polchinski, and Sun. In the original treatment by MPS, by studying the properties of magnetic solitons, the low…
We discuss the scattering of a light closed-string state off a $D$ brane, taking into account quantum recoil effects on the latter, which are described by a pair of logarithmic operators. The light-particle and $D$-brane subsystems may each…
We construct a D3-brane wrapped on S^1, which is fibred over the resolved conifold as its transverse space. Whereas a fractional D3-brane on the resolved conifold is not supersymmetric and has a naked singularity, our solution is…
We concentrate here on photon absorption as well as electron and positron scattering upon endohedrals that consist of a fullerenes shell and an inner atom A. The aim is to understand the effect of fullerene electron shell in formation of…
Using the WKBJ approximation, and the Unruh method, we obtain semi-analytic expressions for the absorption probability (in all energy regimes) for Dirac fermions on a higher dimensional Schwarzschild background. We present an analytic…
We discuss the scattering of a light pulse by a single atom in free space using a purely semi-classical framework. The atom is treated as a linear elastic scatterer allowing to treat each spectral component of the incident pulse separately.…
The supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies may be surrounded by dark matter spike, which could leave detectable imprints on the gravitational wave signals they emit. In this work, combining the mass model of M87, we present…
Nonlinear single Compton scattering has been thoroughly investigated in the literature under the assumption that initially the electron has a definite momentum. Here, we study a more general initial state, and consider the electron as a…
Using a Monte Carlo ray-tracing code in full general relativity, we calculate the transport of photons from a geodesic hot spot emitter through a corona of hot electrons surrounding a black hole. Each photon is followed until it is either…
The scattering of pointlike particles at very large center of mass energies and fixed low momentum transfers, occurring due to both their electromagnetic and gravitational interactions is re-examined in the particular case when one of the…
For minimally coupled scalars at low frequencies, the D-brane model has the same spectrum of radiation as the Hawking radiation from a black hole. We perform a similar comparison for another type of scalar which we call an intermediate…
Supersymmetric zero-brane and one-brane probes in the squashed $AdS_2\times S^3$ near-horizon geometry of the BMPV black hole are studied. Supersymmetric zero-brane probes stabilized by orbital angular momentum on the $S^3$ are found and…
Black holes do not Hawking radiate strictly blackbody radiation due to well-known frequency-dependent greybody factors. These factors arise from frequency-dependent potential barriers outside the horizon which filter the initially blackbody…
We calculate the radiation accompanying gravitational collision of the domain wall and the point particle in five-dimensional spacetime. This process, which can be regarded as brane-particle bremsstrahlung, here called {\it branestrahlung},…
In this paper we give a microscopical description of certain configurations of branes wrapping black hole horizons in terms of dielectric gravitational waves. Interestingly, the configurations are stable only due to the gravitational…
The explicit (all-order in fermions) form of the kappa-symmetric $D3$ brane probe action was previously found in the two maximally supersymmetric type IIB vacua: flat space and $AdS_5 \times S^5$. Here we present the form of the action in…
