In this paper, we associate canonically to every imaginary quadratic field $K=\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-D})$ one or two isogenous classes of CM abelian varieties over $K$, depending on whether $D$ is odd or even ($D \ne 4$). These abelian varieties are characterized as of smallest dimension and smallest conductor, and such that the abelian varieties themselves descend t

We reduce the Abundance Conjecture in dimension 4 to the following numerical statement: if the canonical divisor K is nef and has maximal nef dimension, then K is big. From this point of view, we ``classify'' in dimension 2 nef divisors which have maximal nef dimension, but which are not big.

Assuming the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties of CM-type, one obtains a good category of abelian motives over the algebraic closure of a finite field and a reduction functor to it from the category of CM-motives. Consequentely, one obtains a morphism of gerbes of fibre functors with certain properties. We prove unconditionally that there exists a morph

In a previous article, we proved tight lower bounds for the coefficients of the generalized $h$-vector of a centrally symmetric rational polytope using intersection cohomology of the associated projective toric variety. Here we present a new proof based on the theory of combinatorial intersection cohomology developed by Barthel, Brasselet, Fieseler and Kaup.

To each unit complex number with positive imaginary part there is defined a Tristram-Levine knot signature function. The set of all such signature functions is linearly independent as a set of functions defined on the set of all knots. The set of averaged signature functions forms a linearly independent set of homomorophisms on the knot concordance group. Ho

Influence of the isospin-violating (ρ^0, ω)-mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of ρ^0, ωinto the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP-violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation can manifest itself in various forms: direct violation in amplitudes and/or violation due to mixing. In addition to the known decays (ρ^0,

Recent measurements of the Belle Collaboration of the exclusive production of two charmonia in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation differ substantially from theoretical predictions. Recently it was suggested that a significant part of this discrepancy can be explained by the process $e^2e^- --> 2J/psi$ and value for its cross-section was published. In this paper it is

In this paper, we first define a difference measure between the old and new sequential patterns of stream data, which is proved to be a distance. Then we propose an experimental method, called TPD (Tradeoff between Performance and Difference), to decide when to update the sequential patterns of stream data by making a tradeoff between the performance of incr

The review is given of the calculational schemes that allows for easy evaluation of full current statistics (FCS) in multi-terminal mesoscopic systems. First, the scattering approach by Levitov {\it et.al} to FCS is outlined. Then the multi-terminal FCS of the non-interacting electrons is considered. We show, that this theory appears to be a circuit theory o

A method for embedding graphs in Euclidean space is suggested. The method connects nodes to their geographically closest neighbors and economizes on the total physical length of links. The topological and geometrical properties of scale-free networks embedded by the suggested algorithm are studied both analytically and through simulations. Our findings indic

We investigate the equilibrium state of the model of Peng, \textit{et al.} for molecular breeding. In the model, a population of DNA sequences is successively culled by removing the sequences with the lowest binding affinity to a particular target sequence. The remaining sequences are then amplified to restore the original population size, undergoing some de

We present photometric and kinematic evidence for the presence of stellar disks, seen practically edge-on, in two Fornax dwarf galaxies, FCC204 (dS0(6)) and FCC288 (dS0(7)). This is the first time such structures have been identified in Fornax dwarfs. FCC2088 has only a small bulge and a bright flaring and slightly warped disk that can be traced out to 23&#3

We report on deep VLT observations of the fields of two nearby, isolated millisecond pulsars PSR J1744-1134 and PSR J1024-0719. Both objects are old neutron stars with characteristic age $τ\ge 10^9$ yr and have relatively high spin-down flux. They have been detected earlier as X-ray sources by ROSAT HRI observations and were considered good candidates for no

The monoids of simplicial endomorphisms, i.e. the monoids of endomorphisms in the simplicial category, are submonoids of monoids one finds in Temperley-Lieb algebras, and as the monoids of Temperley-Lieb algebras are linked to situations where an endofunctor is adjoint to itself, so the monoids of simplicial endomorphisms are linked to arbitrary adjoint situ

In the brane-world framework, we consider static, spherically symmetric configurations of a scalar field with the Lagrangian $(\dϕ)^2/2 - V(ϕ)$, confined on the brane. We use the 4D Einstein equations on the brane obtained by Shiromizu et al., containing the usual stress tensor $T\mN$, the tensor $Π\mN$, quadratic in $T\mN$, and $E\mN$ describing interaction

We study the dynamical evolution of globular clusters using our 2D Monte Carlo code with the inclusion of primordial binary interactions for equal-mass stars.

Our attention focuses on the stochastic dynamo equation with non-normal operator that give an insight into the role of stochastics and non-normality in the galactic magnetic field generation.

We develop a symbol calculus for normal bimodule maps over a masa that is the natural analogue of the Schur product theory. Using this calculus we are able to easily give a complete description of the ranges of contractive normal bimodule idempotents that avoids the theory of J*-algebras. We prove that if $P$ is a normal bimodule idempotent and $\|P\| < 2/\s

Using Monte Carlo simulations we have studied the $d=3$ $Z_q$ clock model in two different representations, the phase-representation and the loop/dumbbell-gas (LDG) representation. We find that for $q \ge 5$ the critical exponents $α$ and $ν$ for the specific heat and the correlation length, respectively, take on values corresponding to the case $q\to \infty

We use the matrix model to describe the N=2 SO(N)/Sp(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. By taking the tree level superpotential perturbation made of a polynomial of a scalar chiral multiplet, the effective action for the eigenvalues of chiral multiplet can be obtained. By varying this action with

We introduce domain-wall (DW) states in the bimodal discrete nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation, in which the modes are coupled by cross phase modulation (XPM). By means of continuation from various initial patterns taken in the anti-continuum (AC) limit, we find a number of different solutions of the DW type, for which different stability scenarios are identi

In a flat 2-torus with a disk of diameter $r$ removed, let $Φ_r(t)$ be the distribution of free-path lengths (the probability that a segment of length larger than $t$ with uniformly distributed origin and direction does not meet the disk). We prove that $Φ_r(t/r)$ behaves like $\frac{2}{π^2 t}$ for each $t>2$ and in the limit as $r\to 0^+$, in some appropria

The invariant eigendistributions on a reductive Lie algebra are solutions of a holonomic D-module which has been proved to be regular by Kashiwara-Hotta. We solve here a conjecture of Sekiguchi saying that in the more general case of symmetric pairs, the corresponding module are still regular.

For unbounded operators A,B and C in general, with C closure of [A,B] does not lead to the uncertainty relation ||Au|| ||Bu|| >= |<C u,u> |/2. If A,B and C are part of the generators of a unitary representation of a Lie group then the uncertainty principle above holds.

Within the framework of Relativistic Schroedinger Theory (an alternative form of quantum mechanics for relativistic many-particle systems) it is shown that a general N-particle system must occur in one of two forms: either as a ``positive&#39;&#39; or as a ``negative&#39;&#39; mixture, in analogy to the fermion-boson dichotomy of matter in the conventional t

The majority of galactic gamma rays are produced by interaction of cosmic rays with matter or radiation fields. This results in a diffuse radiation concentrated in the galactic plane where the flux of cosmic rays and the density of material (mostly atomic, molecular and ionized hydrogen) is high. The interactions producing gamma rays include, among others, t

Recent observation of linear optical polarization from brown dwarfs confirms the dust hypothesis in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs with effective temperature higher than 1400 K. The observed polarization could arise due to dust scattering in the rotation induced oblate photosphere or due to the scattering by non-spherical grains in the spherical atmosphere

We found diffuse hard X-ray sources, G11.0+0.0, G25.5+0.0, and G26.6-0.1 in the ASCA Galactic plane survey data. The X-ray spectra are featureless with no emission line, and are fitted with both models of a thin thermal plasma in non-equilibrium ionization and a power-law function. The source distances are estimated to be 1-8 kpc, using the best-fit NH value

In the internal shock scenario, we argue that electrons in most kpc (or even larger) scale jets can be accelerated to energies high enough to emit synchrotron X-rays, if shocks exist on these scales. These high energy electrons emit synchrotron radiation at high frequencies and cool as they propagate downstream along the jet, emitting at progressively lower

We present the first statistical survey of the properties of the 12CO(1-0) and 12CO(3-2) line emission from the nuclei of a nearly complete subsample of 60 infrared (IR) luminous galaxies selected from SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS). This subsample is flux limited at S60 mincron > 5.24 Jy with far-IR (FIR) luminosities mostly at LFIR > 10^10 LSUN

Dark energy could actually be the manifestation of a modification to the Friedmann equation arising from new physics (e.g., extra dimensions). Writing the correction as $(1-Ω_M)H^α/H_0^{α-2}$, we explore the phenomenology and detectability of such. We show that: (i) $α$ must be $\la 1$; (ii) such a correction behaves like dark energy with equation-of-state $

We describe a conservative, shock-capturing scheme for evolving the equations of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. The fluxes are calculated using the Harten, Lax, and van Leer scheme. A variant of constrained transport, proposed earlier by Tóth, is used to maintain a divergence free magnetic field. Only the covariant form of the metric in a coordin

We prove global existence for quasilinear wave equations outside of a wide class of obstacles. The obstacles may contain trapped hyperbolic rays as long as there is local exponential energy decay for the associated linear wave equation. Thus, we can handle all non-trapping obstacles. We are also able to handle non-diagonal systems satisfying the appropriate

In Ref. 3, we presented an asymptotic formula for the fermion-induced effective energy in 3+1 dimensions in the presence of a cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous strong magnetic field.

We study the scalar and spinor perturbation, namely the Klein-Gordan and Dirac equations, in the Kerr-NUT space-time. The metric is invariant under the duality transformation involving the exchange of mass and NUT parameters on one hand and radial and angle coordinates on the other. We show that this invariance is also shared by the scalar and spinor perturb

However, the assumed interactions could not be measured, as human interactions are hard to quantify compared to interactions in physical and chemical systems.

The deformation space of a simplicial G-tree T is the set of G-trees which can be obtained from T by some collapse and expansion moves, or equivalently, which have the same elliptic subgroups as T.

The issue of Gamow-Teller sum rule in atomic nuclei is reexamined in the framework of a relativistic description of nuclei. It is shown that the total Gamow-Teller strength in the nucleon sector is reduced by about 12% as compared to the prediction of a non-relativistic description. This reduction is due to the antinucleon degrees of freedom.

Three-dimensional gravity with a minimally coupled self-interacting scalar is considered.

By relevant modifications, the known global-fidelity limits of state-dependent cloning are extended to mixed quantum states.

Within the framework of the relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA), we investigate the sensitivity of the analyzing power - for exclusive proton knockout from the 3s$_{1/2}$, 2d$_{3/2}$ and 2d$_{5/2}$ states in $^{208}$Pb, at an incident laboratory kinetic energy of 202 MeV, and for coincident coplanar scattering angles ($28.0^{\circ}$, $-5

The balance function is a new observable based on the principle that charge is locally conserved when particles are pair produced. Balance functions have been measured for charged particle pairs and identified charged pion pairs in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 130 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider using STAR. Balance functions for periphera

Work on different classification problems is described as: the classification of integrable vector evolution equations, NLS systems with two vector unknowns, systems with one scalar and one vector unknown, classification of integrable Hamiltonians and non-local 2+1 dimensional equations. All these problems lead to large bi-linear algebraic systems to be solv

Three aspects of time series are uncertainty (dispersion at a given time scale), scaling (time-scale dependence), and intermittency (inclination to change dynamics). Simple measures of dispersion are the mean absolute deviation and the standard deviation; scaling exponents describe how dispersions change with the time scale. Intermittency has been defined as

The paper contains the computation of the noncommutative A-ideal of the figure-eight knot, a noncommutative generalization of the A-polynomial. We show that if a knot has the same noncommutative A-ideal as the figure-eight knot, then all colored Kauffman brackets are the same as those of the figure-eight knot.

We deduce the Schaper formula for Hecke-algebras at root of unity from the Jantzen conjecture in the LLT-setup. This explains an observation due to R. Rouquier.
