A hierarchy of effective three-dimensional theories of finite temperature electroweak matter is studied. First an integration over non-static modes leads to an effective theory containing a gauge field A a i , an adjoint Higgs field A a 0 and the fundamental Higgs field φ α. We carry out the integration in the 1-loop approximation, study renormalisation effects and estimate quantitatively those...

Negri celebrates a conception of democracy in which the concrete powers of individual humans are not alienated away, but rather are added together: this is a democracy of the multitude. But how can the multitude act without alienating anyone’s power? To answer this difficulty, Negri explicitly appeals to Spinoza. Nonetheless, in this paper, I argue that Spinoza’s philosophy does not support Neg...

The collective work of motor proteins plays an important role in cellular transport processes. Since measuring intermotor coupling and hence a comparison to theoretical predictions is difficult, we introduce the synchronization as an alternative observable for motor cooperativity. This synchronization can be determined from the ratio of the mean times of motor resting and stepping. Results from...

Recent portable electronic devices have strict requirements regarding size, weight, and power. The power needed directly impacts the size of the required batteries, and larger batteries compromise the sizes and weights of portable devices. In order to design successful portable devices that maximize power and minimize size, devices should be operated in lowpower-consuming or self-powered mode. ...

We introduce a novel operator renormalization group method. This is a new and more powerful variant of the t-expansion combining that method with the real space renormalization group approach. The aim is to extract infinite volume. physics at t + oo from calculations of only a few powers of t. Good results are obtained for the 1 + 1 dimensional Iking model. The method readily generalizes to hig...

We construct Adams operations on higher algebraic K-groups induced by operations such as symmetric powers on any suitable exact category, by constructing an explicit map of spaces, combinatorially deened. The map uses the S-construction of Waldhausen, and deloops (once) earlier constructions of the map.

This paper describes a method for automatically improving the parameters of the edit distance used in a given nearest-neighbor pattern classiication task. The method uses a simple self-consistent procedure which assigns costs to the basic editing operations according to their discriminative power. The discriminative powers of operations are deened based on the statistics of their use when a pro...

We define the complex powers of a densely defined operator A whose resolvent exists in a suitable region of the complex plane. Generally, this region is strictly contained in an angle and there exists α ∈ [0,∞) such that the resolvent of A is bounded by O((1 + |λ|)α) there. We prove that for some particular choices of a fractional number b, the negative of the fractional power (−A)b is the c.i....

We consider the problem of recovering l-adic representations from a knowledge of the character values at the Frobenius elements associated to l-adic representations constructed algebraically out of the original representations. These results generalize earlier results in [Ra] concerning refinements of strong multiplicity one for l-adic represntations, and a result of Ramakrishnan [DR] recoverin...
