This paper is concerned with the inverse time-harmonic elastic scattering problem of recovering unbounded rough surfaces in two dimensions. We assume that elastic plane waves with different directions are incident onto a rigid rough surface…
The search for a theory of the S-Matrix has revealed surprising geometric structures underlying amplitudes ranging from the worldsheet to the amplituhedron, but these are all geometries in auxiliary spaces as opposed to kinematic space…
The purpose of this review it to present a renewed perspective of the problem of self-gravitating elastic bodies under spherical symmetry. It is also a companion to the papers [Phys. Rev. D105, 044025 (2022)], [Phys. Rev. D106, L041502…
The increasing interest in compact astrophysical objects (neutron stars, binaries, galactic black holes) has stimulated the search for rigorous methods, which allow a systematic general relativistic description of such objects. This paper…
In order to extract physical parameters from the waveform of an extreme-mass-ratio binary, one requires a second-order--accurate description of the motion of the smaller of the two objects in the binary. Using a method of matched asymptotic…
