Constructing Complete Projectively Flat Connections
Theorem 1. Let T 2 be the two dimensional torus. Then for any positive integer m there is a complete torsion free projectively flat connection, ∇, on T 2 such that for any point p ∈ T 2 there is a point q ∈ T 2 with the property that any broken ∇-geodesic between p and q has at least m breaks. Moreover if T 2 is viewed as a Lie group in the usual manner, this connection is invariant under trans...
متن کاملThe Welfare Implications of Urban Decay and Revitalization
Conventional wisdom suggests that urban revitalization can harm the poor, primarily by raising rents. It has also been argued that urban decline harms the poor by reducing job opportunities, the quality of local public services, and other neighborhood amenities. This seeming contradiction can be explained in a model incorporating moving costs and neighborhood quality change sufficiently large t...
متن کاملGlobal Warming: East-West Connections
Air pollutants that damage human health and agricultural productivity, such as tropospheric ozone and black soot, also affect global climate. Multiple benefits of reducing these pollutants become more compelling as concern about global warming increases. Air pollution is especially harmful in developing countries that are now large emitters of carbon dioxide, providing incentive for developed a...
متن کاملApplying Ecosystem Management to Urban Forestry
During the 1990s, the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service shifted from commodity production management to ecosystem-based management (Overbay, 1992). Although definitions of ecosystem-based mana-gement vary by objectives, the principle had four primary elements: (1) maintaining viable populations of native species, (2) representing native ecosystems across their range of natu...
متن کاملReducing Air Pollution through Urban Forestry
This paper presents a brief review of ways that urban forests positively and negatively impact air quality. It provides an overview of our research on air quality effects from parking lot shade and guidelines to estimate atmospheric carbon dioxide reductions through urban forestry.
