We show that the Scott topology induces a topology for real-valued Lipschitz maps on Banach spaces which we call the L-topology. It is the weakest topology with respect to which the L-derivative operator, as a second order functional which maps the space of Lipschitz functions into the function space of non-empty weak* compact and convex valued maps equipped with the Scott topology, is continuo...

The main purpose of this paper is to summarize the basic ingredients, illustrated with examples, of a pseudoholomorphic curve theory for symplectic 4-orbifolds. These are extensions of relevant work of Gromov, McDuff and Taubes on symplectic 4-manifolds concerning pseudoholomorphic curves and Seiberg-Witten theory (cf. [19, 34, 35, 44, 46]). They form the technical backbone of [9, 10] where it ...

Let G be a finite group, and let V and W be finite-dimensional real orthogonal G-modules with V 3 W, and with unit spheres S(V) and S( W) respectively. The purpose of this note is to give necessary sufficient conditions for the existence of a C-map /: S( V) -» S( W) in terms of the Burnside ring of G and its relationship with V and W. Note that if W has a nonzero fixed point, such a G-map alway...

We prove that if R is a domain with many units, then the natural inclusion E2(R) → E2(R[t]) induces an isomorphism in integral homology. This is a consequence of the existence of an amalgamated free product decomposition of E2(R[t]). We also use this decomposition to study the homology of E2(Z[t]) and show that a great deal of the homology of E2(Z[t]) maps nontrivially into the homology of SL2(...

We investigate the connection between integral weight and half-integral weight modular forms. Building on results of Ueda 14], we obtain structure theorems for spaces of half-integral weight cusp forms S k=2 (4N;) where k and N are odd nonnegative integers with k 3, and is an even quadratic Dirichlet character modulo 4N. We give complete results in the case where N is a power of a single prime,...

The main results of this paper are concerned with the “bad” behavior of the KP-I equation with respect to a Picard iteration scheme applied to the associated integral equation, for data in usual or anisotropic Sobolev spaces. This leads to some kind of ill-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem: the flow map cannot be of class C2 in any Sobolev space.

Locally strongly convex surfaces which are extremal for the first variation of the equiaffine area integral have been investigated on several occasions. Here we are interested in the description of their behaviour at infinity. We consider an affine maximal annular end which is a graph of vertical flux and give a detailed representation of it when its affine conormal map works well at infinity.

Using path-integral methods, a formula is deduced for the noise-induced escape rate from an attracting fixed point across an unstable fixed point in one-dimensional maps. The calculation starts from the trace formula for the eigenvalues of the Frobenius-Perron operator ruling the time evolution of the probability density in noisy maps. The escape rate is determined from the loop formed by two h...

introduction:surgeosight is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (sln) imaging in the operation room. like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate surgeosight for linearity distortion, ener...

We discuss an extension of a map between between BPS states and free fermions. The extension involves states associated with a full two matrix problem which are constructed using a sequence of integral equations. A two parameter set of matrix model eigenstates is then related to states in SUGRA. Their wavefunctions are characterized by nontrivial dependence on the radial coordinate of AdS and o...
