Spectra and Transport in Almost Periodic Dimers

We study spectral properties of discrete Schrödinger operators with potentials obtained via dimerization of a class of aperiodic sequences. It is shown that both the nature of the autocorrelation measure of a regular sequence and the presence of generic (full probability) singular continuous spectrum in the hull of primitive and palindromic (four block substitution) potentials are robust under dimerization. Generic results also hold for circle potentials. We illustrate these results with numerical studies of the quantum mean square displacement as a function of time. The numerical techniques provide a very fast algorithm for the time evolution of wave packets.     

Locally Periodic Versus Globally Periodic Infinite Words

We call a one-way infinite word w over a finite alphabet (ρ,l)-repetitive if all long enough prefixes of w contain as a suffix a ρth power (or more generally a repetition of order ρ) of a word of length at most l. We show that each (2,4)-repetitive word is ultimately periodic, as well as that there exist continuum many, and hence also nonultimately periodic, (2,5)-repetitive words. Further, we characterize nonultimately periodic (2,5)-repetitive words both structurally and algebraically.     

短波通滤光片膜系设计

详细介绍用等效折射率概念设计短波通滤光片的原理和计算方法。根据原理和方法，选择二氧化钛（TiO2）作为高折射率材料、二氧化硅（SiO2）作为低折射率材料。首先从理论上计算出用这2种材料设计的波长λ=950～1150nm的短波通滤光片所需要的周期数，然后给出短波通滤光片的主膜系和光谱曲线。由于据此周期数设计出的膜系光谱曲线在750～810nm处的透过率不符合要求，因此对该膜系进行了改进。依照改进的设计进行多次制备，最终制备出了符合要求的短波通滤光片，找到了最佳制备工艺和方法。最后，对制备出来的短波通滤光片薄膜进行了各种环境实验。实验结果表明，膜层的各项指标符合设计要求。

Noise-induced asymptotic periodicity in a piecewise linear map

We examine asymptotically periodic density evolution in one-dimensional maps perturbed by noise, associating the macroscopic state of these dynamical systems with a phase space density. For asymptotically periodic systems density evolution becomes periodic in time, as do some macroscopic properties calculated from them. The general formalism of asymptotic periodicity is examined and used to calculate time correlations along trajectories of these maps as well as their limiting conditional entropy. The time correlation is shown to naturally decouple into periodic and stochastic components. Finally, asymptotic periodicity is studied in a noise-perturbed piecewise linear map, focusing on how the variation of noise amplitude can cause a transition from asymptotic periodicity to asymptotic stability in the density evolution of this system.     

Nilpotency of Connes'' periodicity operator and the idempotent conjectures

For certain classes of discrete groups we verify the idempotent conjectures for various group algebras by the method of cyclic cohomology. In particular, the Banach ¹ (G) of a torsion free word hyperbolic groupG of Gromov contains no nontrivial idempotents. Moreover, the range of any tracial state onK ₀(¹(G)) is .Sponsored in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.     

ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS TO STOCHASTIC FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

By applying the properties of almost periodic function and exponential dichotomy of linear system as well as Banach fixed point theorem,we establish the conditions for the existence and uniqueness of square-mean almost periodic solution to some stochastic functional differential equations.     

Invariant fibrations for some birational maps of ℂ2

Abstract

In this article, we extract and study the zero entropy subfamilies of a certain family of birational maps of the plane. We find these zero entropy mappings and give the invariant fibrations associated to them.     

Loop Groups and Twin Buildings

In these notes we describe some buildings related to complex Kac–Moody groups. First we describe the spherical building of SL_n() (i.e. the projective geometry PG(ⁿ)) and its Veronese representation. Next we recall the construction of the affine building associated to a discrete valuation on the rational function field (z). Then we describe the same building in terms of complex Laurent polynomials, and introduce the Veronese representation, which is an equivariant embedding of the building into an affine Kac–Moody algebra. Next, we introduce topological twin buildings. These buildings can be used for a proof which is a variant of the proof by Quillen and Mitchell, of Bott periodicity which uses only topological geometry. At the end we indicate very briefly that the whole process works also for affine real almost split Kac–Moody groups.Supported by a Heisenberg fellowship by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
