The notions of simplicity and extensionality for coalgebras are generalized beyond Set and a study of the internal dynamics of extensional coalgebras yields the notion of unitary coalgebras. In some cases, unitary coalgebras include extensional ones. Under some reasonable circumstances, both notions of simplicity and extensionality agree. Other extensions of simplicity and extensionality are ∗−...

The concepts of fuzzy semi-ideals of R with respect to H≤R and generalized fuzzy quotient rings are introduced. Some properties of fuzzy semiideals are discussed. Finally, several isomorphism theorems for generalized fuzzy quotient rings are established.

The eta invariant of the Dirac operator over a noncompact cofinite quotient of PSL(2,R) is defined through a regularized trace following Melrose. It reduces to the standard definition in terms of eigenvalues in the case of a totally nontrivial spin structure. When the S1-fibers are rescaled, the metric becomes of nonexact fibred-cusp type near the ends. We completely describe the continuous spe...

We extend the notion of exact completion on a category with weak finite limits to Lawvere’s elementary doctrines. We show how any such doctrine admits an elementary quotient completion, which is the universal solution to adding certain quotients. We note that the elementary quotient completion can be obtained as the composite of two other universal constructions: one adds effective quotients, t...

A duality transform for the coalgebra of the free difference quotient derivationmultiplication of an operator with respect to a free algebra of scalars is constructed. The dual object is realized in an algebra of matricial analytic functions endowed with yet another generalization of the difference quotient derivation.

This paper studies the canonical Chow quotient of a smooth projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. The main observation of this paper is that, over the field of complex numbers, the Chow quotient admits symplectic and other topological interpretations, namely, symplectically, the moduli spaces of stable orbits with prescribed momentum charges; and topologically, the moduli space of s...

In humans, oxytocin (OT) enhances prosocial behaviour. However, it is still unclear how the prosocial effects of OT are modulated by emotional features and/or individuals' characteristics. In a placebo-controlled design, we tested 20 healthy male volunteers to investigate these behavioural and neurophysiological modulations using magnetoencephalography. As an index of the individuals' character...

This article is motivated by the following local-to-global question: is every variety with tame quotient singularities globally the quotient of a smooth variety by a finite group? We show that this question has a positive answer for all quasi-projective varieties which are expressible as a quotient of a smooth variety by a split torus (e.g. simplicial toric varieties). Although simplicial toric...
