In this paper we study two quantum mechanical systems on punctured surfaces modeled by hyperbolic spaces, namely the cases of the singly punctured two-torus and triply punctured two-sphere. We study the systems using their Maass waveforms…

This article presents a family of nonlinear differential identities for the spatially periodic function $u_s(x)$, which is essentially the Jacobian elliptic function $\cn^2(z;m(s))$ with one non-trivial parameter $s$. More precisely, we…

In this paper we consider smooth oriented hypersurfaces in 2-step nilpotent Lie groups with a left invariant metric and derive an expression for the Laplacian of the Gauss map for such hypersurfaces in the general case and in some…

The low energy expansion of Type II superstring amplitudes at genus one is organized in terms of modular graph functions associated with Feynman graphs of a conformal scalar field on the torus. In earlier work, surprising identities between…

The basic form of drifting sub-pulses is that of a periodicity whose phase depends (approximately linearly) on both pulse longitude and pulse number. As such, we argue that the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the longitude-time data…

We describe numerical calculations which examine the Phillips-Sarnak conjecture concerning the disappearance of cusp forms on a noncompact finite volume Riemann surface $S$ under deformation of the surface. Our calculations indicate that if…

This paper is concerned with the wave length $\lambda$ of smooth periodic traveling wave solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation. The set of these solutions can be parametrized using the wave height $a$ (or "peak-to-peak amplitude"). Our…

We consider an isotropic two dimensional harmonic oscillator with arbitrarily time-dependent mass $M(t)$ and frequency $\Omega(t)$ in an arbitrarily time-dependent magnetic field $B(t)$. We determine two commuting invariant observables (in…

Let $\phi$ denote a primitive Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\Gamma_o(N)$ with the Laplacian eigenvalue $\lambda_\phi=1/4+t_{\phi}^2$. In this work we show that there exists a prime $p$ such that $p\nmid N$, $|\alpha_{p}|=|\beta_{p}| = 1$, and…

We study reflectionless properties at the boundary for the wave equation in one space dimension and time, in terms of a well-known matrix that arises from a simple discretisation of space. It is known that all matrix functions of the…

In this paper, we prove the smooth cubic moments vanish for the Hecke--Maass cusp forms, which gives a new case of the random wave conjecture. In fact, we can prove a polynomial decay for the smooth cubic moments, while for the smooth…

Let M be a compact manifold without boundary. Associated to a metric g on M there are various Laplace operators, for example the de Rham Laplacian on forms and the conformal Laplacian on functions. For a general Laplace type operator we…

Let $a$, $b$ be two fixed positive constants. A function $g\in L^2({\mathbb R})$ is called a \textit{mother Weyl-Heisenberg frame wavelet} for $(a,b)$ if $g$ generates a frame for $L^2({\mathbb R})$ under modulates by $b$ and translates by…

Plasmon and polariton modes are derived for an ideal semi-infinite (half-space) plasma and an ideal plasma slab by using a general, unifying procedure, based on equations of motion, Maxwell's equations and suitable boundary conditions.…

We study the modular symmetry of zero-modes on $T_1^2 \times T_2^2$ and orbifold compactifications with magnetic fluxes, $M_1,M_2$, where modulus parameters are identified. This identification breaks the modular symmetry of $T^2_1 \times…

We study the scattering resonances arising from multiple $h$-dependent Dirac delta functions on the real line in the semiclassical regime $h \rightarrow 0$. We focus on resonances lying in strings along curves of the form $\text{Im } z \sim…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a particular diagonalization for normal bounded operators defined on subspaces of $L^2(\mathfrak{S})$ where $\mathfrak{S}$ is a second countable LCA group. The subspaces where the operators act are…

We construct cross sections for the geodesic flow on the orbifolds $\Gamma\backslash H$ which are tailor-made for the requirements of transfer operator approaches to Maass cusp forms and Selberg zeta functions. Here, $H$ denotes the…
