Extraordinary acoustic transmission,symmetry, blaschke products and resonators

The phenomenon of extraordinary acoustic transmission ( eat) in a resonator, which has recently been investigated experimentally, is studied theoretically. It is shown that the combination of a single propagating mode and a symmetry orthogonal to the direction of propagation for a resonator leads to eat. This is accomplished by decomposing the problem using symmetry, the Blaschke product and the properties of functions of a single complex variable which have modulus one on the real axis. The conditions of a resonator requires that the solution has singularities in the analytic extension to complex frequencies (resonances) and it is precisely near these resonances that we observe eat. The condition of a Blaschke product requires that there is a zero at the complex conjugate of the singularity and eat occurs when the solution on the real axis passes between these complex conjugate pairs of poles and zeros. A detailed numerical study of the problem is conducted and we show that once the single mode of propagation or the symmetry is broken then eat (at least perfect transmission) no longer holds generally.     

The Almost Split Sequences for Trivial Extensions of Hereditary Algebras

Let A be a basic hereditary artin algebra and R = A Q be the trivial extension of A by its minimal injective cogenerator Q. We construct some right （left） almost split morphisms and irreducible morphisms in modR through the corresponding morphisms in modA. Furthermore, we can determine its almost split sequences in modR.     

Cofinal elementary extensions

We investigate some properties of ordered structures that are related to their having cofinal elementary extensions. Special attention is paid to models of some very weak fragments of Peano Arithmetic.     

On the nature of phase separation of polymer solutions at high extension rates

Experiments with stretching moderately concentrated polymer solutions have been carried out. Model experiments were carried out for poly(acrylonitrile) solutions in dimethyl siloxane. Just the choice of concentrated solutions allowed for a clear demonstration of a demixing effect with the formation of two separate phases—an oriented polymer fiber and solvent drops sitting on its surface. An original experimental device for following all subsequent stages in the demixing process was built. It combined two light beams, one transverse to the fiber and a second directed along (inside) the fiber, the latter played the role of an optical line. This gives a unique opportunity to observe processes occurring inside a fiber. The process of demixing starts from the volume phase separation across the whole cross section of a fiber at some critical deformation and the propagation of the front of demixing along the fiber. Then a solvent cylindrical skin appears which transforms into a system of separate droplets. New experimental data are discussed based on a comparison of the current different points of view on the phenomenon of deformation‐induced phase separation: thermodynamic shift of the equilibrium phase transition temperature, growth of stress‐induced concentration fluctuations in two‐component fluids, and mechanically pressing a solvent out from a polymer network. The general belief is that a rather specific (so‐called “beads‐on‐a‐string”) structure of a filament is realized in stretching dilute solutions: beads of a polymer solution connected by oriented polymer bridges forming a single object. The situation in stretching moderately concentrated solutions appears quite different: real phase separation was observed. So, the alternative phenomenon to the formation of the “beads‐on‐a‐string” structure has been experimentally proven. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Gorenstein平坦模与Frobenius扩张

设R■A是环的Frobenius扩张,其中A是右凝聚环,M是任意左A-模.首先证明了_AM是Gorenstein平坦模当且仅当M作为左R-模也是Gorenstein平坦模.其次,证明了Nakayama和Tsuzuku关于平坦维数沿着Frobenius扩张的传递性定理的"Gorenstein版本":若_AM具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数,则Gfd_A(M)=Gfd_R(M).此外,证明了若R■S是可分Frobenius扩张,则任意A-模(不一定具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数),其Gorenstein平坦维数沿着该环扩张是不变的.     

Essential and continuous spectrum of symmetric difference equations

Essential and continuous spectrum of symmetric difference equations have been investigated. It has been shown that the deficiency indices and the existence of these components of the spectrum are determined by the growth conditions of the coefficients. In particular, the deficiency indices are superimposition of those clusters determined by the coefficient growth. Finally, we have proved the neccessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of essential spectrum of selfadjoint subspace extensions using subspace theory and asymtotic summation.     

Extremal maximal sectorial extensions of sectorial relations

The extremal maximal sectorial extensions of a not necessarily densely defined sectorial relation (multivalued linear operator) in a Hilbert space are characterized in terms of a construction which goes back to Sebestyén and Stochel. In particular the two extreme maximal sectorial extensions, namely the Friedrichs extension and the Kreĭn extension, are characterized. For this purpose a survey is given of the connection between closed sectorial forms and maximal sectorial relations.     

Measure and integration: The basic extension and representation theorems in terms of new inner and outer envelopes

The work of the author in measure and integration is based on new inner and outer envelope formations, which replace the traditional Carathéodory outer measure and certain simple suprema and infima. The new formations lead to essential improvements in both the extent and the adequacy of the basic results. However, they did not find an entrance into the recent textbook literature. The present paper seeks to demonstrate their power with the examples of the basic inner and outer extension and representation theorems for set functions and functionals.
