Actions can be planned in either an intrinsic (body-based) reference frame or an extrinsic (world-based) frame, and understanding how the internal representations associated with these frames contribute to the learning of motor actions is a key issue in motor control. We studied the internal representation of this learning in human subjects by analyzing generalization patterns across an array o...

Over forty years ago, Paneitz, and independently Fradkin Tseytlin, discovered a fourth-order conformally-invariant differential operator, intrinsically defined on conformal manifold, mapping scalars to scalars. This operator is special case of the so-termed extrinsic Paneitz in when manifold itself conformally embedded hypersurface. In particular, this encodes obstruction smoothly solving five-...

We prove Gaussian estimates for heat kernels on semisimple Lie groups by using the method of Bloch wave representation. We also give a large time asymptotic expansion for heat kernels on compact extensions of abelian Lie groups.

This article has three goals. First, we generalize the result of Deuring and Serre on the characterization of supersingular locus to all Shimura varieties given by totally indefinite quaternion algebras over totally real number fields. Second, we generalize the result of Ribet on arithmetic level raising to such Shimura varieties in the inert case. Third, as an application to number theory, we ...

Bloch points in permalloy cylinders are investigated using a micromagnetic framework, where thermal effects are included via the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation of motion. We show that this enables micromagnetic modeling of a Bloch point avoiding the problem of singularities, which have been rep0l1ed in the literature so far. The details of the Bloch point which we reveal are compared with earli...

Especially notable here is Spencer Bloch’s semi-regularity paper [B]. The advantage of this approach is that one can use the full strength of the deformation theory of subvarieties. One might similarly ask whether there is a family of algebraic cycles {Zt}t∈B deforming Z; some first steps toward an infinitesimal theory for this problem were the subject of [G-G2]. A third possible context, which...

SUMMARY This paper presents a methodology for designing single-degree-of-freedom expandable " free-form " structures composed of rigid blocks connected through simple cylindrical joints. The underlying idea is to interconnect two or more individually expandable plate structures. Using a two-dimensionally expanding sphere as a first example, the conditions that must be satisfied to preserve the ...
