We introduce a new concept of the so-called {\it composite wavelet transforms}. These transforms are generated by two components, namely, a kernel function and a wavelet function (or a measure). The composite wavelet transforms and the…

The Lorentz Transformations are derived without any linearity assumptions and without assuming that y and z coordinates transform in a Galilean manner. Status of the invariance of the speed of light is reduced from a foundation of the…
We prove sharp results on polynomial decay of correlations for nonuniformly hyperbolic flows. Applications include intermittent solenoidal flows and various Lorentz gas models including the infinite horizon Lorentz gas.
By a perturbation approach, we construct geometric solitons with various vortex structures(vortex pairs, vortex rings) for some geometric flows(Wave maps, Shr\"odinger flows) from Minkowski spaces to ${\mathbb S}^2\subset\R^3$.
Using spacetime algebra, the geometric algebra of spacetime, the general problem of relativistic addition of velocities is addressed. The successive application of non-collinear Lorentz boosts is then studied in Minkowski spacetime. Even…

We define matrix models that converge to the generating functions of a wide variety of loop models with fugacity taken in sets with an accumulation point. The latter can also be seen as moments of a non-commutative law on a subfactor planar…

Laboratory optics, typically dealing with monochromatic light beams in a single reference frame, exhibits numerous spin-orbit interaction phenomena due to the coupling between the spin and orbital degrees of freedom of light. Similar…
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel…

For a certain example of a "doubly special relativity theory" the modified space-time Lorentz transformations are obtained from momentum space transformations by using canonical methods. In the sequel an energy-momentum dependent space-time…
A free system, considered to be a comparison system, allows for the notion of objective existence and inertial frame. Transformations connecting inertial frames are shown to be either Lorentz or generalized Galilei.
