ON SOLVABLE COMPLETE LIE SUPERALGEBRAS

The authors discuss the properties of solvable complete Lie superalgebra, proving that solvable Lie superalgebras of maximal rank are complete.     

Boundary interpolation in the ball

We solve a boundary interpolation problem in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions analytic in the unit ball of with reproducing kernel 1/(1−∑₁^Nz_kw_k^*). We introduce the notion of Brune factor (or Blaschke–Potapov factor of the third kind) in this setting.     

Some applications of L2-hedging with a non-negative wealth process

We consider the problem of L ²-hedging of contingent claims in diffusion type models for securities markets. In contrast to a recent paper of Schweizer (1994) we insist on a non-negative wealth process corresponding to the optimal hedge portfolio. For this reason the usual projection methods cannot be applied. We give some applications of L ²-hedging in this setting including hedging under constraints, a problem of approximating the wealth process of a richer investor and a mean-variance version of it.     

The electronic origin of unusually large nJFN coupling constants in some fluoroximes

SOPPA(CCSD) calculations show that the FC term is the most important contribution to the through‐space transmission of J_FN coupling constants for the fluoroximes studied in this work. Because of the well‐known behavior of FC term, a new rationalization for the experimental ^TSJ_FN SSCC is presented. It is mainly based on the overlap matrix (S_ij) between fluorine and nitrogen lone pairs obtained from NBO analyses. An expression is proposed to take into account the influence of the electronic density (D_ij) between coupled nuclei as well as the s% character at the site of the coupling nuclei of bonds and non‐bonding electron pairs involved in D_ij. In using this approach, a linear correlation between ^TSJ_FN versus D_ij is obtained. The most important aspect of this rationalization is related to the facility for understanding the behavior of some unusual experimental coupling constants. It is shown that, at least in this case, the electronic origin of the so‐called through‐space coupling is transmitted through to the overlap of orbitals on the coupled atoms, suggesting that, at least for these compounds, instead of through‐space coupling, it should better be dubbed as ‘through overlapping orbital coupling’.

Common fixed point theorems for non-self-mappings in metric spaces of hyperbolic type

In this paper, the concept of a pair of non-linear contraction type mappings in a metric space of hyperbolic type is introduced and the conditions guaranteeing the existence of a common fixed point for such non-linear contractions are established. Presented results generalize and improve some of the known results. An example is constructed to show that our theorems are genuine generalizations of the main theorems of Assad, ?iri?, Khan et al., Rhoades and Imdad and Kumar. One of the possible applications of our results is also presented.     

Overlap effects on surface states

A tight-binding investigation is performed of the electronic structure of a semi-infinite monatomic chain, whose atomic orbitals are assumed to be non-orthogonal, so that the effects of overlap can be taken into account. In addition to markedly modifying the bulk band-edges, the presence of overlap also greatly influences the position and existence of the surface states. These latter effects are examined in detail.     

A note on total colourings of digraphs

In the paper two different arc-colourings and two associated with the total colourings of digraphs are considered. In one of these colourings we show that the problem of calculating the total chromatic index reduces to that of calculating the chromatic number of the underlying graph. In the other colouring we find the total chromatic indices of complete symmetric digraphs and tournaments.     

On the Distribution of Overlaps in the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick Spin Glass Model

This paper describes some of the analytic tools developed recently by Ghirlanda and Guerra in the investigation of the distribution of overlaps in the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick spin glass model and of Parisi's ultrametricity. In particular, we introduce to this task a simplified (but also generalized) model on which the Gaussian analysis is made easier. Moments of the Hamiltonian and derivatives of the free energy are expressed as polynomials of the overlaps. Under the essential tool of self-averaging, we describe with full rigour, various overlap identities and replica independence that actually hold in a rather large generality. The results are presented in a language accessible to probabilists and analysts.
