A note on idempotents in finite AW*-factors

We prove that the value of the quasi-trace on an idempotent element in an AW*-factor of type is the same as the dimension of its left (or right) support.

     

Explicit bounds and heuristics on class numbers in hyperelliptic function fields

In this paper, we provide tight estimates for the divisor class number of hyperelliptic function fields. We extend the existing methods to any hyperelliptic function field and improve the previous bounds by a factor proportional to with the help of new results. We thus obtain a faster method of computing regulators and class numbers. Furthermore, we provide experimental data and heuristics on the distribution of the class number within the bounds on the class number. These heuristics are based on recent results by Katz and Sarnak. Our numerical results and the heuristics imply that our approximation is in general far better than the bounds suggest.

     

Solvable groups with polynomial Dehn functions

Given a finitely presented group , finitely generated subgroup of , and a monomorphism , we obtain an upper bound of the Dehn function of the corresponding HNN-extension in terms of the Dehn function of and the distortion of in . Using such a bound, we construct first examples of non-polycyclic solvable groups with polynomial Dehn functions. The constructed groups are metabelian and contain the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups. In particular, this answers a question posed by Birget, Ol'shanskii, Rips, and Sapir.

     

Sets of uniqueness for spherically convergent multiple trigonometric series

A subset of the -dimensional torus is called a set of uniqueness, or -set, if every multiple trigonometric series spherically converging to outside vanishes identically. We show that all countable sets are -sets and also that sets are -sets for every . In particular, , where is the Cantor set, is an set and hence a -set. We will say that is a -set if every multiple trigonometric series spherically Abel summable to outside and having certain growth restrictions on its coefficients vanishes identically. The above-mentioned results hold also for sets. In addition, every -set has measure , and a countable union of closed -sets is a -set.

     

The “Average” Work Function and Emission Area in the Fowler-Nordheim Equation

Derivation of the elementary Fowler-Nordheim equation is based on several strong physical assumptions (e.g. smooth flat surface and uniform work function across emitting surface, constant emission area and a uniform distribution of the applied field over it). A real emitter, however, definitely does not fulfill these assumptions. In spite of it the total emission current follows the FN equation and is frequently used for an estimation of the "average" work-function. The physical basis of this procedure and of the terms "average" work function and "emission area" are analyzed from the experimentalist's point of view. Thus some of the older - more or less intuitive - conclusions are substantiated.     

The Sigmoidal Transfer Function and the Gain-Threshold Exponential Dependence for Neurons from Statistical Mechanics Treatment

Analogy is used to treat the system of non-interacting integrate-and-fire neurons as an ideal Fermi gas. It allows to obtain the nonlinear gain curve in the form of sigmoid in agreement with biological findings. As the by-product the gain-threshold mechanism in neurons is presented. Surprisingly enough, this is in agreement with new biological findings, too. Besides, the application of this mechanism to the dynamics of neurons leads to the non-monotone transfer function.

Conservative Means of Orthogonal Series and the Spaces $$L^p [0;1] $$ , $$p \in (1;\infty ) $$

Necessary and sufficient conditions for an orthogonal series to be the Fourier series of a function in the space , , are obtained. In the special case of regular summation methods we recover the classical results of Orlicz and Lomnicki.

Calculation of electron wave functions and refractive index of Ne

The radial wave functions of inner electron shell and outer electron shell of a Ne atom were obtained by the approximate analytical method and tested by calculating the ground state energy of the Ne atom. The equivalent volume of electron cloud and the refractive index of Ne were calculated. The calculated refractive index agrees well with the experimental result. Relationship between the refractive index and the wave function of Ne was discovered.
