A reciprocal relationship between the autocovariance of the light intensity in the source plane and in the far-field detector plane is presented in a form analogous to the classical van Cittert - Zernike theorem, but involving intensity correlation functions. A classical version of the reciprocity relationship is considered first, based on the assumption of circular Gaussian statistics of the complex amplitudes in the source plane. The result is consistent with the theory of Hanbury Brown - Twiss interferometry, but it is shown to be also applicable to estimation of the source size or the spatial resolution of the detector from the noise power spectrum of flat-field images. An alternative version of the van Cittert - Zernike theorem for intensity correlations is then derived for a quantized electromagnetic beam in a coherent state, which leads to Poisson statistics for the intrinsic intensity of the beam.

We derive a generalised van Cittert-Zernike (vC-Z) theorem for radio astronomy that is valid for partially polarized sources over an arbitrarily wide field-of-view (FoV). The classical vC-Z theorem is the theoretical foundation of radio astronomical
interferometry, and its application is the basis of interferometric imaging. Existing generalised vC-Z theorems in radio astronomy assume, however, either paraxiality (narrow FoV) or scalar (unpolarized) sources. Our theorem uses neither of these assumptions, which are seldom fulfilled in practice in radio astronomy, and treats the full electromagnetic field. To handle wide, partially polarized fields, we extend the two-dimensional electric field (Jones vector) formalism of the standard Measurement Equation of radio astronomical interferometry to the full three-dimensional formalism developed in optical coherence theory. The resulting vC-Z theorem enables all-sky imaging in a single telescope pointing, and imaging using not only standard dual-polarized interferometers (that measure 2-D electric fields), but also electric tripoles and electromagnetic vector-sensor interferometers. We show that the standard 2-D Measurement Equation is easily obtained from our formalism in the case of dual-polarized antenna element interferometers. We find, however, that such dual-polarized interferometers can have polarimetric aberrations at the edges of the FoV that are often correctable. Our theorem is particularly relevant to proposed and recently developed wide FoV interferometers such as LOFAR and SKA, for which direction-dependent effects will be important.
We study theoretically the spatial correlations between the intensities measured at the input and output planes of a disordered scattering medium. We show that at large optical thicknesses, a long-range spatial correlation persists and takes negative
values. For small optical thicknesses, short-range and long-range correlations coexist, with relative weights that depend on the optical thickness. These results may have direct implications for the control of wave transmission through complex media by wavefront shaping, thus finding applications in sensing, imaging and information transfer.
For a given ring (domain) in $overline{mathbb{R}}^n$ we discuss whether its boundary components can be separated by an annular ring with modulus nearly equal to that of the given ring. In particular, we show that, for all $nge 3,,$ the standard defin
ition of uniformly perfect sets in terms of Euclidean metric is equivalent to the boundedness of moduli of separating rings. We also establish separation theorems for a half of a ring. As applications of those results, we will prove boundary Holder continuity of quasiconformal mappings of the ball or the half space in $mathbb{R}^n.$
An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local version of t
his theorem. The result is applied to study the uo-dual of a Banach lattice that was recently introduced in [3]. We also provide a simplified approach to the measure-free characterization of uniform integrability established in [8].
