We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a microwave fractional Hilbert transformer in a few-mode fiber using a transversal filtering approach. The filter taps are provided by a tunable true-time delay line that is realized by exploiting the spatial dimension of a dispersion-engineered double-clad step-index few-mode fiber. Both the fractional order and operational bandwidth of the fractional Hilbert transformer can be continuously tuned by adjusting the tap coefficients and varying the operational optical wavelength, respectively. The magnitude and phase response for different fractional orders, ranging from 0.17 to 1.00 that correspond to phase shifts of 15° to 90°, are measured. Operational bandwidths of 7.4 to 10.6 GHz are demonstrated for a classical Hilbert transformer. Real-time temporal fractional Hilbert transform of a Gaussian-like pulse is also performed. Our results are in good agreement with theory, validating the viability of our approach for implementation of microwave fractional Hilbert transformers.

One of the most celebrated accomplishments of modern physics is the description of fundamental principles of nature in the language of geometry. As the motion of celestial bodies is governed by the geometry of spacetime, the motion of electrons in condensed matter can be characterized by the geometry of the Hilbert space of their wave functions. Such quantum geometry, comprising Berry curvature and the quantum metric, can thus exert profound influences on various properties of materials.

Under investigation in this paper is the integrable and non-integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchies. The linear dispersion relations, completeness relations, inverse scattering transform, and fractional soliton solutions of the integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy will be explored. The inverse scattering problem will be solved accurately by constructing Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko equations and Riemann-Hilbert problem.

. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI) and other neuroimaging techniques are routinely used in medical diagnosis, cognitive neuroscience or recently in brain decoding. They produce three- or four-dimensional scans reflecting the geometry of brain tissue or activity, which is highly correlated temporally and spatially.

This article studies the canonical Hilbert energy on a Riemannian manifold for , with particular focus on the case of closed manifolds. Several equivalent definitions for this energy and the fractional Laplacian on a manifold are given, and they are shown to be identical up to explicit multiplicative constants. Moreover, the precise behavior of the kernel associated with the singular integral definition of the fractional Laplacian is obtained through an in-depth study of the heat kernel on a Riemannian manifold.
