We establish a new class of relations among the multiple zeta values ζ(k1, . . . , kl) = ∑ n1>···>nl≥1 1 n k1 1 · · ·n kl k , which we call the cyclic sum identities. These identities have an elementary proof, and imply the “sum theorem” for multiple zeta values. They also have a succinct statement in terms of “cyclic derivations” as introduced by Rota, Sagan and Stein. In addition, we discuss ...

The present study tested the independent and interactive effects of multiple group identities (i.e., American and ethnic) and racial discrimination on civic beliefs among immigrant adolescents. Seventy-seven participants completed a questionnaire during after-school programs. Ethnic identity was positively associated with civic beliefs whereas racial discrimination was negatively related to civ...

Various sum rules for multiple giant dipole resonance states are derived. For the triple giant dipole resonance states, the energy-weighted sum of the transition strengths requires a model to be related to those of the single and double giant dipole resonance states. It is also shown that the non-diagonal matrix elements of the double commutator between the dipole operator and the nuclear Hamil...

Multiracial individuals report that the social pressure of having to “choose” one of their racial groups is a primary source of psychological conflict. Yet because of their ability to maneuver among their multiple identities, multiracials also adopt flexible cognitive strategies in dealing with their social environments—demonstrating a benefit to having multiple racial identities. The current a...

Aqa Musa Naghiev Karbala’i (1849–1919)—an oil magnate from Baku and a significant figure in the modern history of Azerbaijan—and his multiple identities are focus this article. Alongside National-Azerbaijani identity, Naghiev’s religious identity was divided between Shi‘i Muslim Bahá’í identities. The circumstances which born raised, lived, especially during adulthood—as who had converted to Ba...

The study of cultural transformations in the United States has been studied predominantly’ from an assimilation/acculturation framework. There are several drawbacks to this theoretical perspective, chief among them being the exclusion of gender in examining what happens to different ethnic/racial groups when they come into contact. Feminist writings in the last twenty years provide a rich discu...
