Die Strommer-Zykliden des Flaggenraumes

According to H. BRAUNER a flag space is a three-dimensional affine space with an absolute {,f,F}, wheref is a line in the plane of infinity andF a point onf. A cyclide is a surface of order 4 that intersects only atf. A STROMMER-cyclide is a cyclide generated by translation of a circle in an isotropic plane. In this paper we proof that all STROMMER-cyclides can be generated by translation of an isotropic circle along a divergent Newton-parabola or a conic in a full isotropic plane. We give normal-forms and CAD-pictures of these surfaces. Finaly some geometrical results about STROMMER-cyclides are developed.

The existence of non-topological solitons in the self-dual Chern-Simons theory

In the recently discovered (2+1)-dimensional relativistic Chern-Simons model, self-duality can be achieved when the Higgs potential density assumes a special form for which both the asymmetric and symmetric vacua are ground state solutions. This important feature may imply the coexistence of static topological and non-topological vortex-like solutions inR ² but the latter have been rather elusive to a rigorous construction. Our main purpose in this paper is to prove the existence of non-topological radially symmetricN-vortex solutions in the self-dual Chern-Simons model. By a shooting method, we obtain a continuous family of gauge-distinctN-vortex solutions. Moreover, we are also able to classify all possible bare (or 0-vortex) solutions.     

A note on differentiability of the cluster density for independent percolation in high dimensions

The cluster density function of independent percolation in ad-dimensional lattice is considered. For eachn, it is shown that(p) has finitenth leftderivative at critical probabilityp _c ifd is sufficiently large. This result agrees with the Bethe lattice approximation, where thenth one-sided derivative of(p) is bounded atp _c for alln.     

Density fluctuations in amorphous and semicrystalline polymers

Summary The small-angle scattering of amorphous and semicrystalline polymers contains an intensity component due to density fluctuations within the crystalline and amorphous domains.For amorphous polymers, the density fluctuations aboveT _g correspond to the theoretical value for a fluid system in thermodynamic equilibrium. BelowT _g , a temperature dependence proportional to T is observed over a range of about 50°. At lower temperatures, a linear relationship with a smaller slope has been found which extrapolates to a non-zero value at 0 °K. This value corresponds to the frozen-in disorder, the slope at low temperatures is related to thermal vibrations and can be evaluated in terms of photon-phonon scattering.Semicrystalline polymers show a temperature dependence of the density fluctuation similar to that of the amorphous polymers. At constant temperature the density fluctuations vary linearly with crystallinity.Natural rubber shows an increase of the density fluctuations with increasing cross-linking densities from which information on the density changes in the vicinity of a cross-link and on the statistics of the distribution of cross-linking can be obtained.

Zusammenfassung Die Kleinwinkelstreuung amorpher und teilkristalliner Polymere besitzt eine Intensitätskomponente, die von Dichtefluktuationen innerhalb der kristallinen und amorphen Bezirke herrührt. Für amorphe Polymere entspricht die Dichtefluktuation oberhalb vonT _g dem theoretischen Wert für ein fluides System im thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht. UnterhalbT _g wird eine Temperaturabhängigkeit proportional zuT über einen Bereich von etwa 50° beobachtet. Bei tieferen Temperaturen wird eine lineare Beziehung mit einer geringeren Steigung gefunden, welche zu einem endlichen Wert bei 0 °K extrapoliert werden kann. Dieser Wert bezieht sich auf die eingefrorene Fehlordnung, die Steigung bei tiefen Temperaturen ist auf thermische Schwingungen zurückzuführen und kann als Photon-Phonon-Streuung ausgewertet werden.Teilkristalline Polymere zeigen eine Temperaturabhängigkeit der Dichtefluktuation, die der von amorphen Polymeren ähnlich ist. Bei konstanter Temperatur ändert sich die Dichtefluktuation linear mit der Kristallinität.Naturkautschuk zeigt eine mit der Vernetzungsdichte ansteigende Dichtefluktuation, aus der man Information über die Dichteänderung in der Umgebung eines Netzpunktes und die Statistik der Netzpunktverteilung erhalten kann.
