Let N_1, N_2, M be smooth manifolds with dim N_1 + dim N_2 +1 = dim M$ and let phi_i, for i=1,2, be smooth mappings of N_i to M with Im phi_1 and Im phi_2 disjoint. The classical linking number lk(phi_1,phi_2) is defined only when…

The linking number $lk$ is defined if link components are zero homologous. Our affine linking invariant $alk$ generalizes $lk$ to the case of linked submanifolds with arbitrary homology classes. We apply $alk$ to the study of causality in…

We define and study a new kind of relation between two diffeomorphic Lorentzian manifolds called {\em causal relation}, which is any diffeomorphism characterized by mapping every causal vector of the first manifold onto a causal vector of…

Relative self-linking and linking "numbers" for pairs of knots in oriented 3-manifolds are defined in terms of intersection invariants of immersed surfaces in 4-manifolds. The resulting concordance invariants generalize the usual…

The conjectures of Low and Natario--Tod, and Penrose's question on Arnold's Problem list ask if causality in spacetimes can be formulated in terms of linking of spheres of light rays in the manifold of all light rays. For…

An explanation of polarization entanglement is presented using Maxwells classical electromagnetic theory.Two key features are required to understand these classical origins.The first is that all waves diffract and weakly diffracting…

The light-rays and wave fronts in a flat class of Godel-type metric are examined to reveal the causality violating features of the space-time. Non-causal features demonstrated by the development of unusual wave front singularities are shown…

In this work we define and study the relations between Lorentzian Manifolds given by the diffeomorphisms which map causal future directed vectors onto causal future directed vectors. This class of diffeomorphisms, called proper causal…

In this paper we show that if the refractive index, or rather (n(w) -1) satisfies the dispersion relations then, it is implied by Titchmarsh's theorem that n(w) -> 1 as w -> infinity. Any other limiting value for n(w) would violate…

We study whether quandle colorings can detect causality of events for links realized as skies in a $(2+1)$-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime $X$. Building off the Allen--Swenberg paper in which their $2$-sky link was conjectured to…

Reaction-diffusion waves in multiple spatial dimensions advance at a rate that strongly depends on the curvature of the wave fronts. These waves have important applications in many physical, ecological, and biological systems. In this work,…

Oceanic internal waves often have curvilinear fronts and propagate over various currents. We present the first study of long weakly-nonlinear internal ring waves in a three-layer fluid in the presence of a background linear shear current.…

In turbulent flows subject to strong background rotation, the advective mechanisms of turbulence are superseded by the propagation of inertial waves, as the effects of rotation become dominant. While this mechanism has been identified…

Anomalously localized states (ALS) at the critical point of the Anderson transition are studied for the SU(2) model belonging to the two-dimensional symplectic class. Giving a quantitative definition of ALS to clarify statistical properties…

In holographic duality an eternal AdS black hole is described by two copies of the boundary CFT in the thermal field double state. This identification has many puzzles, including the boundary descriptions of the event horizons, the…

Every element $w$ in the commutator subgroup of the free group $\mathbb{F}_2$ of rank 2 determines a closed curve in the grid $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{R} \cup \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{Z} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$. The winding numbers of…

We study front propagation in the reaction diffusion process $\{A\stackrel{\epsilon}\to2A, A\stackrel {\epsilon_t}\to3A\}$ on a one dimensional (1d) lattice with hard core interaction between the particles. Using the leading particle…

In this paper, we study some parameter-dependent reaction-diffusion models governed by the Born-Infeld (or Minkowski) operator. In dependence on two parameters $a, b > 0$, related to the field strength and to the diffusivity, we investigate…

We present the $CWR$ invariant, a new invariant for alternating links, which builds upon and generalizes the $WRP$ invariant. The $CWR$ invariant is an array of two-variable polynomials that provides a stronger invariant compared to the…

We study whether symplectic quandle colorings can reveal causal structure encoded by "sky links" - i.e. links consisting of spheres of all light rays through two points in the space of all light rays of a spacetime. Building on the known…
