Plenary Lecture: Transmission Eigenvalues and Non-scattering Inhomogeneities: Spectral Theory Meets Free Boundary Regularity ↓ Speaker: Fioralba Cakoni, Scattering Group. Abstract: A perplexing question in scattering theory is whether there exist incoming time-harmonic waves, at specific frequencies, that are not scattered by a given inhomogeneity—in other words, whether the inhomogeneity is invisible to such probing waves. We refer to wave numbers corresponding to frequencies at which non-scattering incoming waves exist as non-scattering wave numbers. This question is inherently connected to the inverse scattering problem for inhomogeneous media. Efforts to address it have led to the formulation of the transmission eigenvalue problem, where the wave number serves as the spectral parameter. This is a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem with a mathematically challenging structure. The non-scattering wave numbers constitute a subset of the real transmission eigenvalues. In this presentation, we survey state-of-the-art results on the structure of transmission eigenvalues and non-scattering wave numbers, where the spectral theory of non-selfadjoint operators meets the methods of free boundary regularity. |
