Triangulations and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with group actions

Summary We study that subset of the moduli space of stable genusg,g>1, Riemann surfaces which consists of such stable Riemann surfaces on which a given finite groupF acts. We show first that this subset is compact. It turns out that, for general finite groupsF, the above subset is not connected. We show, however, that for ℤ₂ actions this subsetis connected. Finally, we show that even in the moduli space ofsmooth genusg Riemann surfaces, the subset of those Riemann surfaces on which ℤ₂ actsis connected. In view of deliberations of Klein ([8]), this was somewhat surprising. These results are based on new coordinates for moduli spaces. These coordinates are obtained by certainregular triangulations of Riemann surfaces. These triangulations play an important role also elsewhere, for instance in approximating eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator numerically.

A constructive method for uniform approximation by means of integrated Lagrange interpolation polynomials in the spaceC 1[a,b]

Пусть интерполяционные уз лыa <x ₁ <x ₂ < ... <х _n <b являются корнямиn-го полинома системы полиномов {w _n(x)} _n ^∞ =1, ортогонально й с весомρ(х), 0 < ρ(х) ∈L[a, b], причем 1/ρ(x) ∈L[a, b]. Доказано, что еслиf(х) ∈С ¹ [a, b], то проинтегрированн ые полиномы $$Q_n (x) = \smallint _a^x L_{n - 1} (f',t)dt + f(a)$$ интерполяционных по линомов Лагранжа $$L_{n - 1} (f,x) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {f'(x_k )\frac{{\omega _n (x)}}{{\omega '_n (x_k )(x - x_k )}}}$$ порядкаn?1 функцииf′(x) сходятся равномерно к функцииf(х) в замкнуто м интервале [а,b].

Determination of the pyrites content of bauxites by thermal methods

A derivatographic method has been developed for the identification and determination of the pyrites content of bauxites and clay minerals. If the sample contains at least 0.2% of pyrite, then at 400–450° a weight increase is indicated on the DTG curve, while a heat liberation is shown on the DTA curve. The amplitude of or the area under, these maxima is proportional to the pyrites content of the sample, although the correlation is not linear. In addition, the effect of experimental conditions on the thermal decomposition of pyrites has been studied.

Recovery and recrystallization in AISI 321 steel under static conditions

Static softening of AISI 321 steel after cold and hot deformation characterizing the industrial thermomechanical treatment was studied by means of tensile tests and TEM. The deformation temperature, the strain and the grain size were the main parameters determining the final softening. The results can be applied for optimization of the solution annealing.
