Real normalized differentials and Arbarello’s conjecture

Normalized Tenacity and Normalized Toughness of Graphs

In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters.  Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.

Organismal Differentials and Organ Differentials.

Geographic after-tax real income differentials and population growth rates.

"The purpose of this [one-page] note is to empirically investigate the impact of geographic after-tax real income differentials on geographic population growth rate differentials. The focus is on population growth rates in Florida's 67 counties over the period 1980-88." The authors conclude that "even after allowing for a variety of other location-influencing factors, including coastal access...

Strebel differentials on stable curves and Kontsevich’s proof of Witten’s conjecture

We define Strebel differentials for stable complex curves, prove the existence and uniqueness theorem that generalizes Strebel’s theorem for smooth curves, prove that Strebel differentials form a continuous family over the moduli space of stable curves, and show how this construction can be applied to clarify a delicate point in Kontsevich’s proof of Witten’s conjecture.

A Re-examination of the link between Real Exchange Rates and Real Interest Rate Differentials∗

The real exchange rate real interest rate (RERI) relationship is central to most open economy macroeconomic models. However, empirical support for the relationship, especially when cointegrationbased methods are used, is rather weak. In this paper we reinvestigate the RERI relationship using bilateral real exchange rate data spanning the period 1978 to 1997. We first clarify the logic of applyi...
