An unusual substitution reaction of an aromatic sulfonic group based on 3-carbonyl-4-phenolsulfonic acid

An unusual substitution reaction of an aromatic sulfonic group based on 3-carbonyl-4-phenolsulfonic acid was discovered in a diazo-coupling process.The reaction occurred under mild reaction conditions (pH 8.0-9.0.0-5 C,solvent:water) within a short reaction time(1h).A plausible substitution reaction mechanism by phenol-ketone resonance was proposed.     

The de Rham Bundle on a Compactification of Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties

In this paper, we show that the Chern classes c _k of the de Rham bundle defined on any good toroidal compactification of the moduli space of Abelian varieties of dimension g are zero in the rational Chow ring of , for g=4, 5 and k>0.     

On the Patterson–Sullivan Measure for Geometrically Finite Groups Acting on Complex or Quaternionic Hyperbolic Space

The goal of this paper is to provide a tool, the Global Measure Formula, that will facilitate the study of the limit set of discrete geometrically finite groups of isometries of the rank one symmetric spaces. We consider the shadow of a ball from a fixed reference point onto the boundary, and prove a formula that describes the measure of the shadow in terms of the center of the shadowed ball, generalizing a result from real hyperbolic geometry.     

Equivalence Groups for First-Order Balance Equations and Applications to Electromagnetism

We investigate the groups of equivalence transformations for first-order balance equations involving an arbitrary number of dependent and independent variables. We obtain the determining equations and find their explicit solutions. The approach to this problem is based on a geometric method that depends on Cartan's exterior differential forms. The general solutions of the determining equations for equivalence transformations for first-order systems are applied to a class of the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics.     

Prolongations of Vector Fields on Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces

We introduce the notion of the -prolongation of Lie algebras of differential operators on homogeneous spaces. The -prolongations are topological invariants that coincide with one-dimensional cohomologies of the corresponding Lie algebras in the case where V is a homogeneous space. We apply the obtained results to the spaces S ¹ (the Virasoro algebra) and .     

Looking for Difference Sets in Groups with Dihedral Images

We prove four theorems about groups with a dihedral (or cyclic) image containing a difference set. For the first two, suppose G, a group of order 2p with p an odd prime, contains a nontrivial (v, k, ) difference set D with order n = k – prime to p and self-conjugate modulo p. If G has an image of order p, then 0 2a + 2 for a unique choice of = ±1, and for a = (k – )/2p. If G has an image of order 2p, then and ( – 1)/( – 1). There are further constraints on n, a and . We give examples in which these theorems imply no difference set can exist in a group of a specified order, including filling in some entries in Smith's extension to nonabelian groups of Lander's tables. A similar theorem covers the case when p|n. Finally, we show that if G contains a nontrivial (v, k, ) difference set D and has a dihedral image D _2m with either (n, m) = 1 or m = p ^t for p an odd prime dividing n, then one of the C ₂ intersection numbers of D is divisible by m. Again, this gives some non-existence results.     

MINIMAL SURFACES IN 3—DIMENSIONAL SOLVABLE LIE GROUPS

The author studies minimal surfaces in 3-dimensional solvable Lie groups with left invariant Riemannian metrics. A Weierstraβ type integral representation formula for minimal surfaces is obtained.     

Canonical extension of actions of locally compact quantum groups

In this paper, we generalize the notion of the canonical extension of automorphisms of von Neumann algebras to the case of actions of locally compact quantum groups (in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes). Various expected properties will be shown to hold for this new canonical extension. As an application, we describe the flow of weights of the crossed product of a type III factor by some special action of a discrete Kac algebra.
