Geometrical and Topological Properties of Real Polynomial Fibres

We establish a Gauss—Bonnet type formula for a smooth fibre of a nonproper real polynomial of ⁿ . For this we need to study topological properties of a generic hyperplane section of this fibre.

Exact Anomalous Dimensions of Composite Operators in the Obukhov–Kraichnan Model

We consider two stochastic equations that describe the turbulent transfer of a passive scalar field (x)(t,x) and generalize the known Obukhov–Kraichnan model to the case of a possible compressibility and large-scale anisotropy. The pair correlation function of the field (x) is characterized by an infinite collection of anomalous indices, which have previously been found exactly using the zero-mode method. In the quantum field formulation, these indices are identified with the critical dimensions of an infinite family of tensor composite operators that are quadratic in the field (x), which allows obtaining exact values for the latter (the values not restricted to the -expansion) and then using them to find the corresponding renormalization constants. The identification of the correlation function indices with the composite-operator dimensions itself is supported by a direct calculation of the critical dimensions in the one-loop approximation.     

A complete conformal metric of preassigned negative Gaussian curvature for a punctured hyperbolic Riemann surface

Leth be a complete metric of Gaussian curvature K₀ on a punctured Riemann surface of genusg ≥ 1 (or the sphere with at least three punctures). Given a smooth negative functionK withK =K ₀ in neighbourhoods of the punctures we prove that there exists a metric conformal toh which attains this function as its Gaussian curvature for the punctured Riemann surface. We do so by minimizing an appropriate functional using elementary analysis.     

Sub-Riemannian constant mean curvature surfaces in the Heisenberg group as limits

The 3-dimensional Heisenberg group H together with its standard sub-Riemannian metric g₀ is viewed as the limit of a family of Riemannian manifolds, (H,g_u), u>0. For each u>0, we consider some invariant surfaces with constant mean curvature in (H,g_u). These surfaces of (H,g_u) have very nice limits as u0. We then define the mean curvature of a hypersurface in (H,g₀) to be the limit of its mean curvature in (H,g_u). We show that in a more general case, this definition is appropriate.

Infinity Behavior of Bounded Subharmonic Functions on Ricci Non-negative Manifolds

In this paper,we study the infinity behavior of the bounded subharmonic functions on a Ricci non-negative Riemannian manifold M.We first show that limr→∞r^2/V(r)∫B(r)△hdv=0if h is a bounded subharmonic function.If we further assume that the Laplacian decays pointwisely faster than quadratically we show that h approaches its supremun pointwisely at infinity,under certain auxiliary conditions on the volume growth of M.In particular,our result applies to the case when the Riemannian manifold has maximum volume growth.We also derive a representation formula in our paper,from which one can easily derive Yau‘s Liouville theorem on bounded harmonic functions.     

Equatorial Plane Circular Orbits in the Taub-NUT Spacetime

Accelerated circular orbits in the equatorial plane of the Taub-NUT spacetime are analyzed to investigate the effects of its gravitomagnetic monopole source. The effect of a small gravitomagnetic monopole on these orbits is compared to the corresponding orbits pushed slightly off the equatorial plane in the absence of the monopole.     

Measurement of small spin-spin splittings in the presence of chemical exchange: case of deuteriated water

A new implementation of a described data processing for measuring small scalar coupling constant J is proposed. It is applied particularly to situations where the coupling constant is around the linewidth at half-height, and in the presence of chemical exchange. This modified data processing uses only a simple "one-pulse" experiment instead of a series of spin echoes experiments required by the previous processing. The FID recorded in the one pulse experiment is used by a reconstitution program to generate a set of signals, which are analyzed in the time domain to obtain a spectrum where the scalar coupling constant is apparently multiplied by n+1, where n is positive. The new processing is tested with simulated spectra. The coupling constant between proton and deuterium is measured in the proton spectrum of a solution of 80% of D(2)O and 20% of H(2)O. It was found to be J=1.54+/-0.01 Hz.
