More on pooling spaces

A pooling space is a ranked poset P such that the subposet w⁺ induced by the elements above w is atomic for each element w of P. Pooling spaces were introduced in [T. Huang, C. Weng, Pooling spaces and non-adaptive pooling designs, Discrete Math. 282 (2004) 163-169] for the purpose of giving a uniform way to construct pooling designs, which have applications to the screening of DNA sequences. Many examples of pooling spaces were given in that paper. In this paper, we clarify a few things about the definition of pooling spaces. Then we find that a geometric lattice, a well-studied structure in literature, is also a pooling space. This provides us many classes of pooling designs, some old and some new. We study the pooling designs constructed from affine geometries. We find that some of them meet the optimal bounds related to a conjecture of Erdös, Frankl and Füredi.     

Universality of entropy principle for a general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory

Thermodynamics plays an important role in gravitational theories. It is a principle that is independent of gravitational dynamics, and there is still no rigorous proof to show that it is consistent with the dynamical principle. We consider a self-gravitating perfect fluid system with the general diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theory. Based on the Noether charge method proposed by Iyer and Wald, considering static off/on-shell variational configurations, which satisfy the gravitational constraint equation, we rigorously prove that the extrema of the total entropy of a perfect fluid inside a compact region for a fixed total particle number demands that the static configuration is an on-shell solution after we introduce some appropriate boundary conditions, i.e., it also satisfies the spatial gravitational equations. This means that the entropy principle of the fluid stores the same information as the gravitational equation in a static configuration. Our proof is universal and holds for any diffeomorphism-covariant purely gravitational theories, such as Einstein gravity, \begin{document}$ f(R)$\end{document} gravity, Lovelock gravity, f(Gauss-Bonnet) gravity and Einstein-Weyl gravity. Our result indicates the consistency between ordinary thermodynamics and gravitational dynamics.     

Joule–Thomson expansion of RN-AdS black hole immersed in perfect fluid dark matter

In this paper, we study the Joule–Thomson expansion for RN-Ad S black holes immersed in perfect fluid dark matter. As perfect fluid dark matter is one of the dark matter candidates, we are interested in how it influences the thermodynamic properties of black holes. Firstly, the negative cosmological constant could be interpreted as thermodynamic pressure and its conjugate quantity as the thermodynamic volume, which give us more physical insights into the black hole. Moreover, we derive the thermodynamic definitions and study the critical behaviour of the black hole. Secondly,the explicit expression of Joule–Thomson coefficient is obtained from the basic formulas of the pressure, the volume, the entropy and the temperature. Then, we obtain the inversion curves in terms of charge Q and parameter λ. Furthermore, we analyse the isenthalpic curve in T–P graph with the cooling–heating region determined by the inversion curve. At last, we derive the ratio of minimum inversion temperature to critical temperature and compare the result with that in the RN-Ad S case.     

非对称信息证券交易的跨期动态博弈均衡解析

揭示了不对称信息条件下证券市场均衡的基本特征.Grossman和Stiglitz模型依据不知情交易者的弱理性,解析了证券交易的静态均衡状态.O'Hara模型增强了不知情交易者的理性,强调了市场均衡时的风险定价,但其命题的成立条件是相互矛盾的.认为不知情交易者信息收集和处理能力的提高会使决策更为理性,证券市场的均衡本质上是交易者的动态博弈均衡.依此思路,运用不完美信息的跨期动态博弈模型解析了非对称信息条件下证券交易者的精炼贝叶斯纳什均衡.结论显示出,市场失效的主要原因是交易者之间的信息分析能力不平衡,而不是信息不对称;市场流动性的决定因素不是信息不对称风险而是知情交易者与不知情交易者所研判的无风险收益率的差别.     

On the number of distinct prime factors of an odd perfect number

It is not known whether or not there exists an odd perfect number. We describe an algorithmic approach for showing that if there is an odd perfect number then it has t distinct prime factors, and we discuss its application towards showing that t9.
