A model for the plane to plane variations in catalytic activity seen during nitric oxide decomposition on platinum

Previous work has shown that the reactivity of platinum for nitric oxide decomposition varies significantly with the geometry of the exposed surface of the platinum. Here, the available data are compared to the predictions of a model, which is based on conservation of orbital symmetry and a simplified picture of the band structure of the surface. The model predicts that the (100) face of platinum should be more active than either the (111) or the (110). The (410) should be more active still. These predictions agree with recent experiment. The model makes several other predictions which need to be tested experimentally. These results suggest that symmetry conservation methods, similar to the ones developed by Woodward and Hoffmann for organic reactions, could yield many valuable insights into the relative activity of various catalyst structures.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Nuclearity in a New Perspective

In this Letter we try to settle some confused points concerning the use of the notion of p-nuclearity in the mathematical and physical literature, pointing out that the nuclearity index in the physicists’ sense vanishes for any p> 1. Our discussion of these issues suggests a new perspective, in terms of ε-entropy and operator spaces, which might permit connections to be drawn between phase space criteria and quantum energy inequalities.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 81T05, 47B10, 47L25.     

Non-dual fuzzy connections

The lack of double negation and de Morgan properties makes fuzzy logic unsymmetrical. This is the reason why fuzzy versions of notions like closure operator or Galois connection deserve attention for both antiotone and isotone cases, these two cases not being dual. This paper offers them attention, comming to the following conclusions: – some kind of hardly describable local preduality still makes possible important parallel results; – interesting new concepts besides antitone and isotone ones (like, for instance, conjugated pair), that were classically reducible to the first, gain independency in fuzzy setting.     

Galois Stability, Integrality and Realization Fields for Representations of Finite Abelian Groups

For a given field F of characteristic 0 we consider a normal extension E/F of finite degree d and finite Abelian subgroups GGL _n (E) of a given exponent t. We assume that G is stable under the natural action of the Galois group of E/F and consider the fields E=F(G) that are obtained via adjoining all matrix coefficients of all matrices gG to F. It is proved that under some reasonable restrictions for n, any E can be realized as F(G), while if all coefficients of matrices in G are algebraic integers, there are only finitely many fields E=F(G) for prescribed integers n and t or prescribed n and d.     

Quantaloids Describing Causation and Propagation of Physical Properties

A general principle of causal duality for physical systems, lying at the base of representation theorems for both compound and evolving systems, is proved; formally it is encoded in a quantaloidal setting. Other particular examples of quantaloids and quantaloidal morphisms appear naturally within this setting; as in the case of causal duality, they originate from primitive physical reasonings on the lattices of properties of physical systems. Furthermore, an essentially dynamical operational foundation for studying physical systems is outlined; complementary as it is to the existing static operational foundation, it leads to the natural axiomatization of causal duality in operational quantum logic.     

Controlled Wild Algebras

The controlled wild algebra is introduced, a covering criterionfor a finite-dimensional algebra to be controlled wild is given,and this criterion is applied to the algebras with radical squarezero, algebras with zero relations, local algebras and finitep-group algebras. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification:16G20, 16G60.
