The Ramifications of the Centres: Quantised Function Algebras at Roots of Unity

This paper continues the study of quantised function algebrasO[G] of a semisimple group G at an lth root of unity . Thesealgebras were introduced by De Concini and Lyubashenko in 1994,and studied further by De Concini and Procesi and by Gordon,amongst others. Our main purpose here is to increase understandingof the finite-dimensional factor algebras O[G](g), for g G.We determine the representation type and block structure ofthese factors, and (for many g) describe them up to isomorphism.A series of parallel results is obtained for the quantised Borelalgebras and . 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 16W35,17B37.     

New weighted Rogers-Ramanujan partition theorems and their implications

This paper has a two-fold purpose. First, by considering a reformulation of a deep theorem of Göllnitz, we obtain a new weighted partition identity involving the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, namely, partitions into parts differing by at least two. Consequences of this include Jacobi's celebrated triple product identity for theta functions, Sylvester's famous refinement of Euler's theorem, as well as certain weighted partition identities. Next, by studying partitions with prescribed bounds on successive ranks and replacing these with weighted Rogers-Ramanujan partitions, we obtain two new sets of theorems - a set of three theorems involving partitions into parts (mod 6), and a set of three theorems involving partitions into parts (mod 7), .

     

An Expansion Formula for q-Series and Applications

In this paper the author proves a q-expansion formula which utilizes the Leibniz formula for the q-differential operator. This expansion leads to new proofs of the Rogers–Fine identity, the nonterminating ₆₅ summation formula, and Watson's q-analog of Whipple's theorem. Andrews' identities for sums of three squares and sums of three triangular numbers are also derived. Other identities of Andrews and new identities for Hecke type series are also discussed.     

Averaged Reynolds Equation for Flows between Rough Surfaces in Sliding Motion

The flow between rough surfaces in sliding motion with contacts between these surfaces, is analyzed through the volume averaging method. Assuming a Reynolds (lubrication) approximation at the roughness scale, an average flow model is obtained combining spatial and time average. Time average, which is often omitted in previous works, is specially discussed. It is shown that the effective transport coefficients, traditionally termed flow factors in the lubrication literature, that appear in the average equations can be obtained from the solution to two closure problems. This allows for the numerical determination of flow factors on firmer bases and sheds light on some arguments to the literature. Moreover, fluid flows through fractures form an important subset of problems embodied in the present analysis, for which macroscopisation is given.     

Commutativity of rings with polynomial constraints

Let p, q and r be fixed non-negative integers. In this note, it is shown that if R is left (right) s-unital ring satisfying , respectively) where , then R is commutative. Moreover, commutativity of R is also obtained under different sets of constraints on integral exponents. Also, we provide some counterexamples which show that the hypotheses are not altogether superfluous. Thus, many well-known commutativity theorems become corollaries of our results.

Computation of complex fluid flows using an adaptive grid method

Recently the concept of adaptive grid computation has received much attention in the computational fluid dynamics research community. This paper continues the previous efforts of multiple one-dimensional procedures in developing and asessing the ideas of adaptive grid computation. The focus points here are the issue of numerical stability induced by the grid distribution and the accuracy comparison with previously reported work. Two two-dimensional problems with complicated characteristics—namely, flow in a channel with a sudden expansion and natural convection in an enclosed square cavity—are used to demonstrate some salient features of the adaptive grid method. For the channel flow, by appropriate distribution of the grid points the numerical algorithm can more effectively dampen out the instabilities, especially those related to artificial boundary treatments, and hence can converge to a steady-state solution more rapidly. For a more accurate finite difference operator, which contains less undesirable numerical diffusion, the present adaptive grid method can yield a steady-state and convergent solution, while uniform grids produce non-convergent and numerically oscillating solutions. Furthermore, the grid distribution resulting from the adaptive procedure is very responsive to the different characteristics of laminar and turbulent flows. For the problem of natural convection, a combination of a multiple one-dimensional adaptive procedure and a variational formulation is found very useful. Comparisons of the solutions on uniform and adaptive grids with the reported benchmark calculations demonstrate the important role that the adaptive grid computation can play in resolving complicated flow characteristics.     

The General Solution of Ming Antu＇s Problem

In two centuries ago,Ming Autu discovered the famous Catalan numbers while he tried to expand the function sin(2px) as power series of sin(x) for the case p=1,2,3.Very recently,P.J.Larcombe shows that for any p,sin(2px) can always be expressed as an infinite power series of sin(x) involving precise combinations of Catalan numbers as part of all but the initial p terms and gave all expansions for the case p=4,5.The present paper presents the desired expansion for arbitrary integer p.
