Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure with compact support. We consider exponential type orthonormal bases, Riesz bases and frames in $L^2(\mu)$. We show that if $L^2(\mu)$ admits an exponential frame, then $\mu$ must be of pure type. We…

Jorgensen and Pedersen have proven that a certain fractal measure $\nu$ has no infinite set of complex exponentials which form an orthonormal set in $L^2(\nu)$. We prove that any fractal measure $\mu$ obtained from an affine iterated…
In light beams with circular or elliptic polarization, the transverse energy flow consists of the "spin" and "orbital" parts. Both of them can induce the orbital motion of microparticles suspended within the field of a light beam, and this…
Metasurfaces with linear phase gradients can redirect light beams. We propose controlling both phase and amplitude of a metasurface to extend Snell's law to the realm of complex angles, enabling a non-decaying transmission through opaque…

We construct the infinitesimal generator of the Brox diffusion on a line with a periodic Brownian environment. This gives a new construction of the process and allows to solve the singular martingale problem. We prove that the associated…
There is recent interest in the use of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) for creating multiple channels within free-space optical communication systems. One limiting issue is that, for a given beam size at the transmitter,…

Usual Gaussian beams are particular scalar solutions to the paraxial Helmholtz equation, which neglect the vector nature of light. In order to overcome this inconvenience, Simon et al. (J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 1986, 3, 536-540) found a paraxial…
Next generation hard X-ray free electron lasers require electron beams with low transverse emittance. One proposal to achieve these low emittances is to exploit the eigen-emittance values of the beam. The eigen-emittances are invariant…

Spherical Bessel functions appear commonly in many areas of physics wherein there is both translation and rotation invariance, and often integrals over products of several arise. Thus, analytic evaluation of such integrals with different…
