General-relativistic cosmology with expansion and rotation

A model of an expanding and rotating universe is constructed in the framework of general relativity. The parameters of the model are compared with the fundamental observables and shown to be in good agreement.Kaluzhsk Branch, N. É. Bauman Moscow State Technical University (MGTU).

A shock tube study of the reaction of methyl radicals with hydroxyl radicals

The reaction of CH₃ with OH has been studied near 1200 K and 1 atmosphere pressure in shock tube experiments in which UV absorption was used to monitor [OH]. A rate coefficient of (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10¹³ cm³/mol-s was measured for removal of OH by CH₃. This measured value is compared with previous experimental data and calculations. Several possible reaction channels are discussed, and although products were not monitored, it seems probable, on the basis of other work and theoretical estimates, that the primary mechanism (?75%) for the removal of OH by CH₃ at these conditions is their combination to form CH₃OH. Rate coefficients of (5.3 ± 0.8) × 10¹² and (9.0 ± 1.4) × 10¹² cm³/mol-s were measured for the reactions of OH with acetone and ethane, respectively, at the same temperature and pressure.

Bound states and resonances ofN-particle discrete Schrödinger operator

The existence of bound states and resonances of the Hamiltonian of a system ofN different quantum lattice particles with nonvanishingN-particle short-range interaction is proved. The dependence of the bound states and the resonances on the coupling constant and the quasimomentum is studied.Samarkand State University.

Manifolds with invariant semi-Riemannian almost product structure

A manifold M with semi-Riemannian almost product structure invariant relative to a transformation group G is considered. A connection with special G-invariance property is constructed in the corresponding bundle of frames.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 7, pp. 926–931, July, 1992.
