We consider Gaussian distributions on certain Riemannian symmetric spaces. In contrast to the Euclidean case, it is challenging to compute the normalization factors of such distributions, which we refer to as partition functions. In some…
Motivated by problems of mathematical physics (quantum chaos) questions of equidistribution of eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a Riemannian manifold have been studied by several authors. We consider here, in analogy with…
By considering the Einstein-Vlasov system for static spherically symmetric distributions of matter, we show that configurations with constant anisotropy parameter $\beta$ have, necessarily, a distribution function (DF) of the form…
In close analogy to quantum electrodynamics, we derive a quantum field theory of Josephson plasma waves (JPWs) in layered superconductors (LSCs), which describes two types of interacting JPW bosonic quanta: one massive and the other…
We study the growth of Laplacian eigenfunctions $ -\Delta \phi_k = \lambda_k \phi_k$ on compact manifolds $(M,g)$. H\"ormander proved sharp polynomial bounds on $\| \phi_k\|_{L^{\infty}}$ which are attained on the sphere. On a `generic'…
We generalize to Hilbert modular varieties of arbitrary dimension the work of W. Duke (Inventiones 1988) on the equidistribution of Heegner points and of primitive positively oriented closed geodesics in the Poincare upper half plane,…
Wave-like spatial statistics in walking-droplet quantum analogs are typically attributed to spatial or temporal nonlocal wave effects. We show instead that such behavior arises generically from the low-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of an…
On convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces with Hausdorff dimension of the limit set less than 1/2, we investigate high energy behaviour of Eisenstein Series. Eisenstein Series are non-L^2 eigenfunctions of the hyperbolic Laplacian which…
We propose an extension of ergodic theory which focuses on the identification of ergodicity in terms of the uniqueness of the invariant measure. We first explain the concept for the doubling maps, which can be analyzed using Fourier…
In this PhD Thesis we investigate the geometry of random fields on compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular the two-dimensional sphere. In the first part, we characterize isotropic Gaussian fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group…

Starting from a general relativistic kinetic equation, a self-consistent mean-field equation for fermions is derived within a covariant density matrix approach of QED plasmas in strong external fields. A Schr\"odinger picture formulation on…
Calculating the Wigner distribution function in the reaction plane, we are able to probe the phase-space behavior in time-dependent Hartree-Fock during a heavy-ion collision. We compare the Wigner distribution function with the smoothed…
For sequences of quantum ergodic eigenfunctions, we define the quantum flux norm associated to a codimension $1$ submanifold $\Sigma$ of a non-degenerate energy surface. We prove restrictions of eigenfunctions to $\Sigma$, realized using…
Within the framework of the probability representation of quantum mechanics, we study a superposition of generic Gaussian states associated to symmetries of a regular polygon of n sides; in other words, the cyclic groups (containing the…
The barotropic ideal fluid with step and delta-function discontinuities coupled to Einstein's gravity is studied. The discontinuities represent star surfaces and thin shells; only non-intersecting discontinuity hypersurfaces are considered.…
Following Assiotis (2020), we study general $\beta$-Hua-Pickrell diffusions of $N$ particles on $\mathbb R$ as solutions of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) $$dX_{j,t}=\sqrt{2(1+X_{j,t}^2)}\,dB_{j,t}+\beta\left[b-a…
An infinite family of quasi-maximally superintegrable Hamiltonians with a common set of (2N-3) integrals of the motion is introduced. The integrability properties of all these Hamiltonians are shown to be a consequence of a hidden…
After reviewing some basic relevant properties of stationary stochastic processes (SSP), we discuss the properties of the so-called Harrison-Zeldovich like spectra of mass density perturbations. These correlations are a fundamental feature…
Eigenspaces of the quantum isotropic Harmonic Oscillator $\hat{H}_{\hbar} : = - \frac{\hbar^2}{2} \Delta + \frac{||x||^2}{2}$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ have extremally high multiplicites and the eigenspace projections $\Pi_{\hbar, E_N(\hbar)} $…
