SO q (n+1,n−1) as a real form of SO q (2n,ℂ)

Quantum pseudo-orthogonal groups SO _q (n+1,n–1) are defined as real forms of quantum orthogonal groups SO _q (n+1,n–1) by means of a suitable antilinear involution. In particular, the casen=2 gives a quantized Lorentz group.

Theoretical Study of the Molecular Electrostatic Potential of C_(50)

1 INTRODUCTION All fullerenes made so far obey the isolated pentagon (IPR)[1], which governs the stability of fullerenes comprising hexagons and exact 12 pen- tagons. Smaller fullerenes, which violate the IPR, are predicted to have high instability and especially difficult isolation due to their condensed pentagons and increased strain. The production of smaller fullerene C36 has been reported[2]. However, the definite characterization of a C36-based solid is in doubt. Moreover, variou…     

On the uniqueness of minimizing harmonic maps to a closed hemisphere

We study the uniqueness of minimizing harmonic maps to a closed hemisphere. We are able to describe the boundary data for which there are more than one minimizer, and to describe in these cases the corresponding set of minimizers. This is a limiting case for a former result of W.Jäger and H.Kaul.This article was processed by the author using the Springer-Verlag T_EX PJourlg macro package 1991.     

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity by approximation

The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a module gives a rough measure of its complexity. We bound the regularity of a module given a system of approximating modules whose regularities are known. Such approximations can arise naturally for modules constructed by inductive combinatorial means. We apply these methods to bound the regularity of ideals constructed as combinations of linear ideals and the module of derivations of a hyperplane arrangement as well as to give degree bounds for invariants of finite groups.     

Julia lines of random Dirichlet series

For the random entire functions defined by some random Dirichlet series almost surely every horizontal line is a Julia line without exceptional values. These results contain and generalize partially a theorem of P.L. Davies. The proofs are different.     

Sur la R-équivalence de torseurs sous un groupe fini

We give criteria for R-equivalence of torsors under finite constant group schemes over a field. In particular, using bitorsors, we obtain a Galois dévissage result which formalises and generalises a theorem of Philippe Gille in the case of local fields; for instance, Gille's theorem is shown to extend to higher local fields.     

The six semifield planes associated with a semifield flock

In 1965 Knuth (J. Algebra 2 (1965) 182) noticed that a finite semifield was determined by a 3-cube array (a_ijk) and that any permutation of the indices would give another semifield. In this article we explain the geometrical significance of these permutations. It is known that a pair of functions (f,g) where f and g are functions from GF(q) to GF(q) with the property that f and g are linear over some subfield and g(x)²+4xf(x) is a non-square for all x∈GF(q)∗, q odd, give rise to certain semifields, one of which is commutative of rank 2 over its middle nucleus, one of which arises from a semifield flock of the quadratic cone, and another that comes from a translation ovoid of Q(4,q). We show that there are in fact six non-isotopic semifields that can be constructed from such a pair of functions, which will give rise to six non-isomorphic semifield planes, unless (f,g) are of linear type or of Dickson-Kantor-Knuth type. These six semifields fall into two sets of three semifields related by Knuth operations.     

An analytical proof of Hardy-like inequalities related to the Dirac operator

We prove some sharp Hardy-type inequalities related to the Dirac operator by elementary, direct methods. Some of these inequalities have been obtained previously using spectral information about the Dirac-Coulomb operator. Our results are stated under optimal conditions on the asymptotics of the potentials near zero and near infinity.
