Well/Ill Posedness for the Euler-Korteweg-Poisson System and Related Problems

We consider a general Euler-Korteweg-Poisson system in R ³, supplemented with the space periodic boundary conditions, where the quantum hydrodynamics equations and the classical fluid dynamics equations with capillarity are recovered as particular examples. We show that the system admits infinitely many global-in-time weak solutions for any sufficiently smooth initial data including the case of a vanishing initial density - the vacuum zones. Moreover, there is a vast family of initial data, for which the Cauchy problem possesses infinitely many dissipative weak solutions, i.e. the weak solutions satisfying the energy inequality. Finally, we establish the weak-strong uniqueness property in a class of solutions without vacuum. In this paper we show that, even in presence of a dispersive tensor, we have the same phenomena found by De Lellis and Székelyhidi.     

Rate of convergence in the law of large numbers for supercritical general multi-type branching processes

We provide sufficient conditions for polynomial rate of convergence in the weak law of large numbers for supercritical general indecomposable multi-type branching processes. The main result is derived by investigating the embedded single-type process composed of all individuals having the same type as the ancestor. As an important intermediate step, we determine the (exact) polynomial rate of convergence of Nerman’s martingale in continuous time to its limit. The techniques used also allow us to give streamlined proofs of the weak and strong laws of large numbers and ratio convergence for the processes in focus.     

Weak Euler Approximation for Itô Diffusion and Jump Processes

This article studies the rate of convergence of the weak Euler approximation for Itô diffusion and jump processes with Hölder-continuous generators. It covers a number of stochastic processes including the nondegenerate diffusion processes and a class of stochastic differential equations driven by stable processes. To estimate the rate of convergence, the existence of a unique solution to the corresponding backward Kolmogorov equation in Hölder space is first proved. It then shows that the Euler scheme yields positive weak order of convergence.     

Real-World Forward Rate Dynamics With Affine Realizations

We investigate the existence of affine realizations for Lévy driven interest rate term structure models under the real-world probability measure, which so far has only been studied under an assumed risk-neutral probability measure. For models driven by Wiener processes, all results obtained under the risk-neutral approach concerning the existence of affine realizations are transferred to the general case. A similar result holds true for models driven by compound Poisson processes with finite jump size distributions. However, in the presence of jumps with infinite activity we obtain severe restrictions on the structure of the market price of risk; typically, it must even be constant.     

钙蛋白酶-10 基因SNP-19 与多囊卵巢综合征相关性研究

目的 探讨钙蛋白酶-10 基因（CAPN-10）单核苷酸多态性-19（SNP-19）与多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）的相关性。 方法 采用聚合酶链反应- 限制性片段长度多态性（PCR-RFLP）技术,对107 例PCOS患者（PCOS 组）及111 例健康体检者（对照组）的CAPN-10 SNP-19 进行分析,并测定其性激素和生化指标。PCOS组再根据BMI与胰岛素抵抗（IR）稳态模型指数（HOMA-IR）分为肥胖组与非肥胖组、IR 组与非IR 组,分析CAPN-10 SNP-19 与其关系。结果 与对照组相比,PCOS 组BMI、空腹血糖（FPG）、TG、TC、LDL、黄体生成素（LH）、黄体生成素/ 卵泡刺激素（LH/FSH）、睾酮（T）均升高（均P＜0.01）。PCOS 组CAPN-10 SNP-19 1等位基因及1/2基因型频率均高于对照组（均P＜0.05）;且CAPN-10 SNP-19 1/2基因型PCOS 发病风险较1/1、2/2 基因型增加约2倍（OR=1.9,95％CI=1.1~3.3,P＜0.05）。CAPN-10 SNP-19 1、2等位基因频率PCOS 肥胖组与非肥胖组、IR 组与非IR组比较均无统 计学差异（均P＞0.05）;PCOS 肥胖组和IR组CAPN-10 SNP-19 1/2基因型频率分别高于非肥胖组和非IR 组,但差异均无统计学意义（均P＞0.05）。结论 CAPN-10 SNP-19 与PCOS 遗传易感性有关,可能与PCOS 肥胖及IR 无关。     

Typical curvature behaviour of bodies of constant width

It is known that an n-dimensional convex body, which is typical in the sense of Baire category, shows a simple, but highly non-intuitive curvature behaviour: at almost all of its boundary points, in the sense of measure, all curvatures are zero, but there is also a dense and uncountable set of boundary points at which all curvatures are infinite. The purpose of this paper is to find a counterpart to this phenomenon for typical convex bodies of given constant width. Such bodies cannot have zero curvatures. A main result says that for a typical n-dimensional convex body of constant width 1 (without loss of generality), at almost all boundary points, in the sense of measure, all curvatures are equal to 1. (In contrast, note that a ball of width 1 has radius 1/2, hence all its curvatures are equal to 2.) Since the property of constant width is linear with respect to Minkowski addition, the proof requires recourse to a linear curvature notion, which is provided by the tangential radii of curvature.     

Channel capacities via p-summing norms

In this paper we show how the metric theory of tensor products developed by Grothendieck perfectly fits in the study of channel capacities, a central topic in Shannon's information theory. Furthermore, in the last years Shannon's theory has been fully generalized to the quantum setting, and revealed qualitatively new phenomena in comparison. In this paper we consider the classical capacity of quantum channels with restricted assisted entanglement. These capacities include the classical capacity and the unlimited entanglement-assisted classical capacity of a quantum channel. Our approach to restricted capacities is based on tools from functional analysis, and in particular the notion of p  -summing maps going back to Grothendieck's work. Pisier's noncommutative vector-valued _Lp$L_p$ spaces allow us to establish the new connection between functional analysis and information theory in the quantum setting.     

Factoriality for the reductive Zassenhaus variety and quantum enveloping algebra

Let U(g)$U(\mathfrak{g})$ be the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional reductive Lie algebra g$\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. Let _U?,P(s:)$U_{?,P}(\mathfrak{s}:)$ be the simply connected quantum enveloping algebra at the root of unity ?  , of a complex semi-simple finite dimensional Lie algebra s:$\mathfrak{s}:$. We show, by similar proofs, that the centers of both are factorial. While the first result was established by R. Tange [32] (by different methods), the second one confirms a conjecture in [4]. We also provide a general criterion for the factoriality of the centers of enveloping algebras in prime characteristic.     

Infinitesimal 2-braidings and differential crossed modules

We categorify the notion of an infinitesimal braiding in a linear strict symmetric monoidal category, leading to the notion of a (strict) infinitesimal 2-braiding in a linear symmetric strict monoidal 2-category. We describe the associated categorification of the 4-term relations, leading to six categorified relations. We prove that any infinitesimal 2-braiding gives rise to a flat and fake flat 2-connection in the configuration space of n particles in the complex plane, hence to a categorification of the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connection. We discuss infinitesimal 2-braidings in a certain monoidal 2-category naturally assigned to every differential crossed module, leading to the notion of a symmetric quasi-invariant tensor in a differential crossed module. Finally, we prove that symmetric quasi-invariant tensors exist in the differential crossed module associated to Wagemann's version of the String Lie-2-algebra. As a corollary, we obtain a more conceptual proof of the flatness of a previously constructed categorified Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connection with values in the String Lie-2-algebra.
