K. Ishihara, Luther, the Reformer, and His Circle

Josef Dietl (1804 - 1878)--Medical Reformer and "His Crisis".

J Dietl (1804 78) was born in Poland, and completed his medical education in Vienna in 1829. His uncommon ability, industry, inexhaustible energy, dogged perseverance and courage contributed to the development of reform of medical science in Europe, and educational system. He brought order to the badly neglected city of Cracow where he was elected as Mayor in 1866. Dietl’s name is chiefly menti...

Gideon Delaune and his Family Circle

The courses of many epidemic diseases reflect the social and economic changes in any nation. They are so often closely influenced by such problems as migrant labour, improving communications, movement of population, and rapid urbanisation.

I will examine how Luther’s critiques of these practices were expressed in the religious propaganda that circulated during thi...

Circle Actions and Z/k-manifolds

We establish a S1-equivariant index theorem for Dirac operators on Z/kmanifolds. As an application, we generalize the Atiyah-Hirzebruch vanishing theorem for S1-actions on closed spin manifolds to the case of Z/k-manifolds. Résumé français On établit un théorème d’indice S-équivariant pour les opérateurs de Dirac sur des Z/k variétés. On donne une application de ce résultat, qui généralise le t...
