Symmetric Powers of Galois Modules on Dedekind Schemes

We prove a certain Riemann–Roch-type formula for symmetric powers of Galois modules on Dedekind schemes which, in the number field or function field case, specializes to a formula of Burns and Chinburg for Cassou–Noguès–Taylor operations.     

The effect of rate of deformation on the mechanical characteristics of plastics

An experimental investigation of the effect of the rate of deformation on the strength and modulus of elasticity of vinyl plastic and glass-reinforced laminate is described. It is established that when the rate of relative tensile deformation of vinyl plastic at 25°C is reduced from 2000×10^–6 sec^–1 to 5×10^–6 sec^–1, and that for glass-reinforced laminate from 1000×10^–6 sec^–1 to 1.3×10^–6 sec^–1, the decrease in the modulus of elasticity is about 40% and the decrease in ultimate strength 30 and 48%, as the case may be.Mekhanika polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 76–81, 1965

Harmonic Analysis on the SU(2) Dynamical Quantum Group

Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang–Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang–Baxter equation satisfied by 6j-symbols. We investigate one of the simplest examples, generalizing the standard SU(2) quantum group. The matrix elements for its corepresentations are identified with Askey–Wilson polynomials, and the Haar measure with the Askey–Wilson measure. The discrete orthogonality of the matrix elements yield the orthogonality of q-Racah polynomials (or quantum 6j-symbols). The Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for representations and corepresentations are also identified with q-Racah polynomials. This results in new algebraic proofs of the Biedenharn–Elliott identity satisfied by quantum 6j-symbols.     

Melting of Two-Dimensional Systems: Dependence of the Type of Transition on the Radius of the Potential

In the framework of the two-dimensional melting theory based on the density functional approach, we use a Monte Carlo computer simulation to study melting of a two-dimensional hard disk system with a rectangular-well attraction potential. We show that depending on the attraction radius, the melting can occur via a single first-order transition as well as continuously in accordance with the Kosterlitz–Thouless–Halperin–Nelson–Young theory.     

Effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of boron fibers

The effect of exposure to temperatures on the interval 20–600°C for up to 1000 h on the physicomechanical properties of boron fibers at room temperature has been investigated. Prolonged exposure to temperatures up to 200°C does not have much effect on the mechanical characteristics of the fibers, whereas heating for one hour at 300–350°C increases the strength of the fibers by 10–12%.All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Aviation Materials, Moscow.

Homogeneous Einstein–Weyl Structures on Symmetric Spaces

In this paper we examine homogeneous Einstein–Weyl structures and classify them on compact irreducible symmetric spaces. We find that the invariant Einstein–Weyl equation is very restrictive: Einstein–Weyl structures occur only on those spaces for which the isotropy representation has a trivial component, for example, the total space of a circle bundle.     

Morita–Takeuchi Contexts Acting on Graded Coalgebras

In this paper, we introduce the concept of graded Morita–Takeuchi contexts and prove that every graded Morita–Takeuchi context induces a Morita–Takeuchi context between the 1-components of the corresponding coalgebras. We also establish an action of Morita–Takeuchi contexts on graded coalgebras, which is important for the development of the action of Picard groups on graded coalgebras.Partially supported by the NNSF of China and the YNSF of Shandong Province (No. Q98A05113).1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16W30, 16W50, 16D90     

Radial Index and Euler Obstruction of a 1-Form on a Singular Variety

A notion of the radial index of an isolated singular point of a 1-form on a singular (real or complex) variety is discussed. For the differential of a function it is related to the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibre of the function. A connection between the radial index and the local Euler obstruction of a 1-form is described. This gives an expression for the local Euler obstruction of the differential of a function in terms of Euler characteristics of some Milnor fibres.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 14B05, 32S60, 58A10*Partially supported by the DFG-programme “Global methods in complex geometry” (Eb 102/4–2), grants RFBR–04–01–00762, NSh–1972.2003.1     

Distribution of integral points on certain two-sheeted hyperboloids

Yu. V. Linnik's investigations [Vestn. Leningr. Univ., No. 2, 3–23; No. 5, 3–32; No. 8, 15–27 (1955)] are refined and generalized to indefinite ternary quadratic forms of a sufficiently general form (to forms contained in the form x₁x₃—x ₂ ² ]. The method of investigation is improved. The presentation is substantially simplified.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Szegö-Kolmogorov-Krein theorems on weighted trigonometrical approximation and Cárleman-type relations

We consider the well-known Szegö — Kolmogorov — Krein theorems on weighted approximations by functions with semibounded spectra defined on a circle or on a line and suggest an efficient construction that realizes these approximations. This construction is based on relations similar to the Cárleman formula for reconstructing analytic functions in terms of their traces on the boundary of their domains of definition.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, Nos. 1–2, pp. 100–127, January–February. 1994.
