Differentiation of chiral phosphorus enantiomers by P and H NMR spectroscopy using amino acid derivatives as chemical solvating agents

The ability of commercially available amino acid derivatives, especially Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH, to differentiate enantiomers of chiral phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphates, phosphine oxides, and phosphonamidates is demonstrated with (31)P, (13)C, and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The chiral differentiation provided a rapid and convenient method for measuring the enantiomeric purity of these phosphorus compounds.     

Construction of solutions with exactly k blow-up points for the Schrödinger equation with critical nonlinearity

We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation: (1) $${{i\partial u} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{i\partial u} {\partial t}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\partial t}} = - \Delta u - \left| u \right|^{{4 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {4 N}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} N}} uandu\left( {0,.} \right) = \varphi \left( . \right),$$ whereu:[0,T)×? ^N →?. For any given pointsx ₁,x ₂,...,x _k in ? ^N , we construct a solution of Eq. (1),u(t), which blows up in a finite timeT at exactlyx ₁,x ₂,...,x _k . In addition, we describe the precise behavior of the solutionu(t) whent→T, at the blow-up points {x ₁,x ₂,...,x _k } and in ? ^N ?{x ₁,x ₂,...,x _k }.     

Linear equations depending differentiably on a parameter

We investigate operator functionsT(x) inBanach spaces, depending differentiably (meaning of classC orC ) on a parameterx and enjoying a certain regularity property. Iff is a given differentiable function such that the equationT(x)e=f(x) is solvable for eachx then the existence of a functione is proved which belongs to the same differentiability class asf andT, solving the equationT(x)e(x)f(x) identically inx. As an application we extend a result ofJ. Leiterer [9] and give a comprehensive answer to a question posed byJ.L. Taylor in [15] concerning the exactness of certain cochain complexes.     

Nonclassical multidimensional singular integral operators on R + n+1

Banach algebras of certain bounded operators acting on the half-spaceL _p (R ₊ ⁿ⁺¹ ,x ₀ ) (1<p<, –1<<p–1) are defined which contain for example Wiener-Hopf operators, defined by multidimensional singular convolution integral operators, as well as certain singular integral operators with fixed singularities. Moreover the symbol may be a positive homogeneous function only piecewise continuous on the unit sphere. Actually these multidimensional singular integral operators may be not Calderón-Zygmund operators but are built up by those in lower dimensions. This paper is a continuation of a joint paper of the author together with R.V. Duduchava [10]. The purpose is to investigate invertibility or Fredholm properties of these operators, while the continuity is given by definition. This is done in [10] forp=2 and –1<<1, and in the present paper forL _p (R ₊ ⁿ⁺¹ ,x ₀ ) with 1<p< and –1<<p–1.
