Support problem for the intermediate Jacobians of l-adic representations

We consider the support problem of Erdös in the context of l-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field. Main applications of the results of the paper concern Galois cohomology of the Tate module of abelian varieties with real and complex multiplications, the algebraic K-theory groups of number fields and the integral homology of the general linear group of rings of integers. We answer the question of Corrales-Rodrigáñez and Schoof concerning the support problem for higher dimensional abelian varieties.     

Kaon production in\bar pp interactions at c.m. energies from 200 to 900 GeV

A detailed analysis ofK _s ⁰ production in \(\bar pp\) |<2.5 the average transverse momentum is found to be 0.53±0.07 GeV/c at 200 GeV and 0.62±0.08 GeV/c at 900 GeV, which is an increase with respect to data at c.m. energies below 60 GeV. TheK _s ⁰ production cross sections in inelastic collisions are 29±4 mb at 200 GeV and 63±6 mb at 900 GeV, showing an increase compared to lower energy data. The central kaon density is found to increase as a logarithmic function of energy. At 900 GeV, where statistics are sufficient to allow one to draw conclusions, the average transverse momentum is higher in events with large charged multiplicity than in events with low multiplicity.     

4,10‐Dinitro‐2,6,8,12‐tetraoxa‐4,10‐diazaisowurtzitane (TEX): a nitramine with an exceptionally high density

The title compound (systematic name: 4,10‐di­nitro‐2,6,8,12‐tetraoxa‐4,10‐di­aza­tetra­cyclo­[5.5.0.0^3,11.0^5,9]­do­decane), C₆H₆N₄O₈, exhibits the highest density among known N‐nitramines, due to its close‐packed crystal structure. It may be regarded as consisting of a distorted hexagonal close‐packed lattice formed by the isowurtzitane cages, with the nitro groups occupying the free space between the cages.     

Synthèse du mèthyl-1 diformyl-2,3 pyrrole,de la méthyl-1 pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyridazine et de la méthyl-1 oxo-6 (6h)cycloheptatrieno[b] pyrrole

This communication describes the synthesis of l-methyl-2,3-diformylpyrrole. This new compound is used to prepare a new heterocycle, l-methylcyclohepta[b]pyrrol-6-one and thus allows a new synthesis of l-methylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazine.     

Time-resolved spectroscopic studies of B(12) coenzymes: a comparison of the primary photolysis mechanism in methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl-, and 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin.

An ultrafast transient absorption study of the primary photolysis of ethyl- and n-propylcobalamin in water is presented. Data have been obtained for two distinct excitation wavelengths, 400 nm at the edge of the UV gamma-band absorption, and 520 nm in the strong visible alphabeta-band absorption. These data are compared with results reported earlier for the B(12) coenzymes, methyl- and adenosylcobalamin. The data obtained for ethylcobalamin and n-propylcobalamin following excitation at 400 nm demonstrate the formation of one major photoproduct on a picosecond time scale. This photoproduct is spectroscopically identifiable as a cob(II)alamin species. Excitation of methyl-, ethyl-, and n-propylcobalamin at 520 nm in the low-lying alphabeta absorption band results in bond homolysis proceeding via a bound cob(III)alamin MLCT state. For all of the cobalamins studied here competition between geminate recombination of caged radical pairs and cage escape occurs on a time scale of 500 to 700 ps. The rate constants for geminate recombination in aqueous solution fall within a factor of 2 between 0.76 and 1.4 ns(-1). Intrinsic cage escape occurs on time scales ranging from 相似文献   

ContinuousK-theory

We study arithmetical properties of homotopy groups of thel-adic completion of Quillen'sK-theory space of number field, with a view on the Dwyer-Friedlander comparison map into étaleK-theory. The relation of these groups toK-theory is a complete analogy to the relation of continuous étale cohomology to étale cohomology. We identify the torsion subgroup of the resulting term with the subgroup of divisible elements inK _2n (F). We prove that this term is sent isomorphically into étaleK-theory, giving some further evidence for the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjectures.     

Quantitative Comparison Between Vacuum-Ultraviolet Irradiation and Remote Hydrogen Plasma Treatment of Hydrocarbon Polymers

The photon flux of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation of a hydrogen plasma with and without a MgF₂window was recorded by fluorescence measurements of sodium salicylate layers. After the compensation of the MgF₂absorption by increasing the input power into the plasma source, a comparison between afterglow hydrogen plasma and VUV treatments was made. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) were treated either with VUV radiation or with remote hydrogen plasma and mass loss and CH absorption loss were measured by a quartz crystal microbalance and by infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, respectively. In the case of PE the effects of both treatments were found to be very similar white for PP slight differences were observed. For the actual set of experimental conditions, the radiation component is largely responsible for the efficiency of the plasma treatment. VUV and remote hydrogen plasma treatments of PS showed only a negligible loss of mass and CH absorption.     

Vacuum Ultraviolet Photolysis of Polyethylene,Polypropylene, and Polystyrene

Using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), quartz crystal microbalance (QMB) measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with chemical derivatization techniques the VUV photolysis of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) was investigated. A mass balance obtained from the quantification of the data was used to suggest reaction path ways. Although PE and PP behave similar, the mass loss is about 8 times higher in the case of PP. These differences originate from the higher disproportionation to recombination ratio for the branched polymer. Both polymers form double bonds and at extended treatment times they tend to crosslink. PS is rather stable due to the possibility of the energy dissipation by fluorescence.     

Octylgermane on gold: synthesis, oxidation, and pattern formation

Chemisorbed monolayers of octylgermane (C8H17GeH3) on gold have been formed by vapor deposition in ultrahigh vacuum. The monolayer has been characterized by X-ray photoelectron and reflection absorption infrared spectroscopies (XPS and RAIRS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). XPS data indicate the monolayer can be oxidized by exposure to ozone. STM images exhibit a complex pattern which can be modeled as strain-mediated spinodal decomposition.
