Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...

We study an interesting class of Banach function algebras of innitely dierentiable functions onperfect, compact plane sets. These algebras were introduced by Honary and Mahyar in 1999, calledLipschitz algebras of innitely dierentiable functions and denoted by Lip(X;M; ), where X is aperfect, compact plane set, M = fMng1n=0 is a sequence of positive numbers such that M0 = 1 and(m+n)!Mm+n ( m!Mm)...

We propose an alternative characterisation of object-based distributed systems in terms of algebraic structures and topological spaces. Some examples are given in order to attest the adequacy of this approach to the subject. We also illustrate a method of transference of results from these mathematical theories that can further contribute to the advancement of distributed systems theory.

If D is a Reedy category and M is a model category, the category M of D-diagrams in M is a model category under the Reedy model category structure. If C → D is a Reedy functor between Reedy categories, then there is an induced functor of diagram categories M → M. Our main result is a characterization of the Reedy functors C → D that induce right or left Quillen functors M → M for every model ca...
