When a beam of light is reflected by a smooth surface its behavior deviates from geometrical optics predictions. Such deviations are quantified by the so-called spatial and angular Goos-Haenchen (GH) and Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts of the…

Positive configurations of points in the affine building were introduced in \cite{Le} as the basic object needed to define higher laminations. We start by giving a self-contained, elementary definition of positive configurations of points…
We present and study a novel class of one-dimensional Hilbert space eigenfunction transforms that diagonalize analytic difference operators encoding the (reduced) two-particle relativistic hyperbolic Calogero-Moser dynamics. The scattering…
An analytico-geometric reflection principle is established by means of normal deformations of analytic discs.
We consider spaces for which there is a notion of harmonicity for complex valued functions defined on them. For instance, this is the case of Riemannian manifolds on one hand, and (metric) graphs on the other hand. We observe that it is…
In this article, we discuss some properties of holomorphic fibrations in the complex analytic setting.
We identify the moduli space of complex affine surfaces with the moduli space of regular meromorphic connections on Riemann surfaces and show that it satisfies a corresponding universal property. As a consequence, we identify the tangent…
We study ray optics in the context of double mirror systems, in the limit as the two mirrors approach one another (thin films). This leads to a novel set of differential equations on a mirror surface which have interesting structure as seen…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
A new deformed canonical commutation relation, generalizing various known deformations, is defined together with its structure function of deformation. Then, the related irreducible representations are characterized and classified. Finally,…
A reflection mapping is a singular holomorphic mapping obtained by restricting the quotient mapping of a complex reflection group. We study the analytic structure of double point spaces of reflection mappings. In the case where the image is…
In this work, we construct some irreducible components of the space of two-dimensional holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb{P}^n$ associated to some algebraic representations of the affine Lie algebra $\mathfrak{aff}(\mathbb{C})$. We give a…
Consider a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in $\mathbb R^d$. The hyperplanes dissect $\mathbb R^d$ into finitely many polyhedral chambers. For a point $x\in \mathbb R^d$ and a chamber $P$ the metric projection of $x$ onto $P$ is the…
We give an explicit formula for the motivic integrals related to the Milnor number over spaces of parametrised arcs on the plane with fixed tangency orders with the axis. These integrals are rational functions of the parameters and the…
In this paper, an open problem in the multidimensional complex analysis is pesented that arises in the investigation of the regularity properties of Fourier integral operators and in the regularity theory for hyperbolic partial differential…
