Propagators from characteristic surfaces
The Cauchy problem for hyperbolic equations is well known since many years ago. We can take the wave equation in Minkowski space-time as an example. If we choose an infinite space-like surface where it is known the function and its normal derivative (with respect to the surface) the solution is fully obtained in the rest of the space. The situation becomes more delicate when the surface where w...
متن کاملMatching surfaces with characteristic points
We study approximation algorithms for a matching problem that is motivated by medical applications. Given a small set of points P ⊂ R and a surface S, the optimal matching of P with S is represented by a rigid transformation which maps P as ‘close as possible’ to S. Previous solutions either require polynomial runtime of high degree [2] or they make use of heuristic techniques which could be tr...
متن کاملAlgebraic Surfaces in Positive Characteristic
These notes are an introduction to and an overview of the theory of algebraic surfaces over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic. After some background in characteristic-p-geometry, we sketch the Kodaira– Enriques classification. Next, we turn to more special characteristic-p topics, and end by lifting results and applications to characteristic zero. We assume that the reader ...
متن کاملSurfactants at Expanding Liquid Surfaces, GR/M83797 Final Report
This project arose out an EPSRC/Unilever funded programme in the mid-1990’s in which we established the overflowing cylinder (OFC) as a platform for studying adsorption kinetics and Marangoni effects in surfactant solutions, using the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (C16TAB) as a model system. Following the success of the earlier project, a new collaborative programme wa...
متن کاملCurves on Surfaces of Mixed Characteristic
The classi cation of foliated surfaces, [McQ08], is applied to the study of curves on surfaces with big co-tangent bundle and varying moduli, be it purely in characteristic zero, or, more generally when the characteristic is mixed. Almost everything that one might naively imagine is true, but with one critical exception: rational curves on bi-disc quotients which aren't quotients of products of...
