Synthesis and Properties of Azoles and Their Derivatives. Part 70. Nitroallylic Systems in [2 + 3] Cycloaddition Reactions with Nitrones: A DFT Computational Study

The analysis of electrophilicity indexes and the results of potential energy surface (PES) simulations for the reaction pathways proved that the [2 + 3] cycloadditions of nitroallylic systems with nitrones should be considered nonpolar reactions. Our simulations proved that the reactions always proceed via a one‐step mechanism through a prereaction complex. Although the symmetry of respective transition states is quite varied, their polarity is low and does not change when a polar medium is introduced to the reaction environment. When the polarity of the reaction medium increases, the kinetic pathway preference does not change. The regiochemistry of the cycloadditions tested may, however, be controlled to some extent by steric effects.     

Space-Time Directional Lyapunov Exponents for Cellular Automata

Space-time directional Lyapunov exponents are introduced. They describe the maximal velocity of propagation to the right or to the left of fronts of perturbations in a frame moving with a given velocity. The continuity of these exponents as function of the velocity and an inequality relating them to the directional entropy is proved.     

The Variational Approach to the Scalar Field Theory in Curved Einstein Space

The variational approach based on the covariant quantization method for the curved Einstein space is applied.     

Spectral decomposition of an elementary 3-fermion 2-body operator

The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an elementary 3-fermion 2-body operator 3P²_g∧I¹A³∑_{1≤i≤j≤3}P²_g(i, j)A³ acting on a 3-particle antisymmetric finite-dimensional Hilbert space have been found. Here P_g² denotes the projection operator onto a 2-particle antisymmetric function g², while A³ denotes the 3-particle antisymmetrizing operator.     

On Non-Continuous Dirichlet Processes

We introduce here some Itô calculus for non-continuous Dirichlet processes. Such calculus extends what was known for continuous Dirichlet processes or for semimartingales. In particular we prove that non-continuous Dirichlet processes are stable under C ¹ transformation.
