The minimum area of a surface with prescribed boundary contour in a pseudoeuclidean space

LetE ^{n, k} be a pseudoeuclidean space with linear elementdx ₁ ² ++dx _n–k ² –dx _n–k ^+1/2 ––dx _n ² . The area of a smooth two-dimensional surface inE ^{n, k} is defined by , whereE, F, andG are the coefficients of the first fundamental form of the surface andD is the region of variation of the parametersu andv. The following theorem is proved: LetL be a piecewise smooth closed curve inE ^{n, k} (1kn–1). Then there exists a two-dimensional piecewise smooth surface of arbitrarily small area bounded by the curveL. 3 figures.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, No. 30, 1987, pp. 18–22.     

Threshold anomaly in doubletn-d scattering

The behaviour of the doubletn-d scattering phase shift ₂(k) at energies close to the three-particle threshold is studied analytically and numerically. The scattering parameters possess an anomaly associated with the low energy of the singletN-N virtual state. The anomaly manifests itself both as a bend in the energy dependence of the functionk cot(Re ₂) in the range around 0.5 MeV and in the nonstandard behaviour of the break-up cross section near the threshold.     

Bound on the Higgs boson mass with no zero-charge behaviour in a magnetic field

The upper boundm<280 GeV/c² on the Higgs boson mass is obtained by considering the requirement that the electroweak theory must be consistent in a magnetic fieldH. The restriction emerges naturally by studying the effective potential in a magnetic field as a function of mass, and the values ofm when there is no zero-charge, in the fieldsH～H ₀=M _w ² /e are obtained.

Behavior on the real line of entire functions represented by Dirichlet series with complex exponents

It is shown, in particular, that if _{n k} when n k, Re _n > 0, and , then an entire function F that is bounded on the real line and represented by a Dirichlet series d_n exp (_nz) that is uniformly and absolutely convergent on each compactum in is identically zero.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 882–888, July, 1990.
