The Bertini irreducibility theorem for higher codimensional slices

In [3], Poonen and Slavov recently developed a novel approach to Bertini irreducibility theorems over an arbitrary field, based on random hyperplane slicing. In this paper, we extend their work by proving an analogous bound for the dimension of the exceptional locus in the setting of linear subspaces of higher codimensions.     

峨山褐煤的分子结构和分子模拟

作为重要的化石能源，褐煤资源潜力巨大、分布广泛但综合利用率低。研究褐煤的分子结构模型，有助于预测褐煤在热解、液化和气化过程中的化学反应机理及反应路径，进而提高褐煤的综合应用水平。以云南峨山褐煤为研究对象，利用傅里叶变换红外光谱、13C核磁共振波谱及X射线光电子能谱等分析测试方法，获取了峨山褐煤的含碳、含氧及含氮结构参数。在此基础上，借助Gaussian 09计算平台，采用量子化学建模的方法构建并优化了峨山褐煤的分子结构模型。研究结果表明：峨山褐煤的芳碳率为39.20%，芳香碳结构主要为苯和萘，且芳香桥头碳与周边碳的比值χ_b为0.07；脂碳率为49.51%，脂肪碳结构主要为亚甲基，季碳和氧接脂碳；氧原子主要存在于羟基、醚氧、羰基和羧基结构中；含氮结构则以吡啶为主。基于元素分析、13C 核磁共振波谱分析，又经过热重实验消除褐煤中残余水分的影响后，计算出峨山褐煤的分子式为C₁₅₃H₁₃₇O₃₅N₂。依据分子式及分析结果计算出峨山褐煤的结构单元含量并构建出其初始结构模型，采用半经验法PM 3基组及密度泛函理论M06-2X/3-21G基组对初始分子构型进行优化。优化后的分子模型具有明显的三维立体特征，芳香环之间较为分散且在空间中排列不规则，芳香簇主要通过亚甲基、醚氧基、羰基、酯基和脂肪环连接，含氧官能团主要分布在分子边缘，脂肪族侧链较多。对优化后的分子模型进行振动频率计算进而获得了分子模型的模拟红外光谱，其与实验红外谱图吻合度良好，证明了峨山褐煤分子结构模型的准确性、合理性。分子结构模型的构建有利于直观地了解峨山褐煤的分子结构特征，从而有助于从微观分子角度研究峨山褐煤的宏观性质。同时，峨山褐煤分子结构模型可为其在热解、液化和气化等领域研究中提供理论指导。     

On weighted spectral radius of unraveled balls and normalized Laplacian eigenvalues

For a graph G, the unraveled ball of radius r centered at a vertex v is the ball of radius r centered at v in the universal cover of G. We obtain a lower bound on the weighted spectral radius of unraveled balls of fixed radius in a graph with positive weights on edges, which is used to present an upper bound on the $s^{\text{th}}$ (where $s\ge 2$) smallest normalized Laplacian eigenvalue of irregular graphs under minor assumptions. Moreover, when $s=2$, the result may be regarded as an Alon–Boppana type bound for a class of irregular graphs.

Analyticity of resonances and eigenvalues and spectral properties of the massless Spin–Boson model

We extend the method of Pizzo multiscale analysis for resonances introduced in [5] in order to infer analytic properties of resonances and eigenvalues (and their eigenprojections) as well as estimates for the localization of the spectrum of dilated Hamiltonians and norm-bounds for the corresponding resolvent operators, in neighborhoods of resonances and eigenvalues. We apply our method to the massless Spin–Boson model assuming a slight infrared regularization. We prove that the resonance and the ground-state eigenvalue (and their eigenprojections) are analytic with respect to the dilation parameter and the coupling constant. Moreover, we prove that the spectrum of the dilated Spin–Boson Hamiltonian in the neighborhood of the resonance and the ground-state eigenvalue is localized in two cones in the complex plane with vertices at the location of the resonance and the ground-state eigenvalue, respectively. Additionally, we provide norm-estimates for the resolvent of the dilated Spin–Boson Hamiltonian near the resonance and the ground-state eigenvalue. The topic of analyticity of eigenvalues and resonances has let to several studies and advances in the past. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that it is addressed from the perspective of Pizzo multiscale analysis. Once the multiscale analysis is set up our method gives easy access to analyticity: Essentially, it amounts to proving it for isolated eigenvalues only and use that uniform limits of analytic functions are analytic. The type of spectral and resolvent estimates that we prove are needed to control the time evolution including the scattering regime. The latter will be demonstrated in a forthcoming publication. The introduced multiscale method to study spectral and resolvent estimates follows its own inductive scheme and is independent (and different) from the method we apply to construct resonances.
