When does gradient Ricci soliton have one end?

Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry - In this paper, we study a problem of finding compact hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature with free boundary in a ball. We transform the problem to an...     

Systematic studies of fission fragment kinetic energy distributions by Langevin simulations

Fission fluctuation-dissipation dynamics of heavy nuclei has been studied using Langevin Monte Carlo simulations. The covariant form of the fission transport equation and the coefficients related to it are investigated. To learn about the influence of the dynamics from the ground state to the saddle point on the kinetic energy distributions we have studied various systems and compared the calculations both starting from the ground state and from the saddle point. Both the mean total kinetic energy of the fission fragments and its variances can fit with the experimental values in terms of a finite neck radius as scission condition.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

The distribution of 4-full numbers

Let Q(x) denote the number of 4-full numbers not exceeding x. It is well known that $$Q(x) = \sum\limits_{j = 4}^7 {r_j x^{1/j} + R(x)}$$ where $$r_j = \mathop {res}\limits_{s = 1/j} (F(s)/s), F(s) = \mathop \prod \limits_P \left( {1 + \frac{{p^{ - 4s} }}{{1 - p^{ - s} }}} \right)$$ and R(x) is the remainder. This paper proves that $$R(x) \ll x^{3626/35461 + \varepsilon }$$ where ε is any positive number.     

Exact solution of a vertex model ind dimensions

We consider a class of vertex models describing directed lines on a lattice in arbitraryd dimensions, and solve the model exactly for the Cartesian lattice and in the case that each loop of lines carries a fugacity - 1. Our analysis, which can be carried out for arbitrary lattices, is based on an equivalence of the vertex model with a dimer problem. The dimer problem is, in turn, solved using the method of Pfaffians. It is found that the system is frozen below a critical temperatureT _cwith the critical exponent = (3 –d)/2.
