Projective varieties with projectively equivalent singular 0-dimensional sections

Fix integers m, n such that 1 ≤ m ≤ n ? 3. Let X ? Pⁿ be an integral non-degenerate m-dimensional variety. Assume either char(K) = 0 or char(K) > deg(X). Here we prove that all general 0-dimensional sections of X containing a tangent vector to a smooth point of X are protectively equivalent if and only if n ? m + 1 ≤ deg(X) ≤ n ? m + 2.     

Decrease in the group velocity of a light pulse in the Bose-Einstein condensate of a dilute gas

A semiclassical theory of electromagnetically induced transparency in a Bose-Einstein condensate is considered. A nonlinear Schrödinger equation that describes the interaction of the Bose-Einstein condensate with an electromagnetic field is derived. An analysis of the obtained solutions to this equation demonstrates a decrease in the group velocity of the light pulse.

Simulation of Convective Flow of an Electrically Conducting Fluid in a Cavity

A new quasi-hydrodynamic algorithm is proposed for numerical analysis of convective flows in the presence of a homogeneous external magnetic field. The Marangoni convection problem in a square cross-section cavity is solved.     

On the Sum of Roots of a Closed Set

An invariant of a closed set that is equal to the sum of roots is introduced. For a closed subset in a root system, we describe symmetric and special parts and its stabilizer in the Weyl group by means of the sum of roots. We determine associated bases with respect to which the closed set has the simplest form. All possible values of the root sum are found. Bibliography: 9 titles.     

Generalized Darboux transform in the Ishimori magnet model on the background of spiral structures

The integration procedure based on the generalized Darboux transform is suggested for the Ishimori magnet model. Exact solutions are constructed for the model on the background of spiral structures. The possibility of phase transition in the system is hypothesized.     

Bounds and Inequalities for the Perron Root of a Nonnegative Matrix

In this paper, bounds and inequalities for the Perron root of a nonnegative matrix, extending and complementing the classical theorems of Frobenius and Ostrowski in terms of (deleted) row and column sums, are presented. All the results are derived by using the same approach, based on the monotonicity property of the Perron root. Bibliography: 12 titles.
