The crystal structure on the set of Mirkovi?-Vilonen polytopes

In an earlier work, we proved that MV polytopes parameterize both Lusztig's canonical basis and the Mirkovi?-Vilonen cycles on the affine Grassmannian. Each of these sets has a crystal structure (due to Kashiwara-Lusztig on the canonical basis side and due to Braverman-Finkelberg-Gaitsgory on the MV cycles side). We show that these two crystal structures agree. As an application, we consider a conjecture of Anderson-Mirkovi? which describes the BFG crystal structure on the level of MV polytopes. We prove their conjecture for sln and give a counterexample for sp₆. Finally we explain how Kashiwara data can be recovered from MV polytopes.     

Discrete storage processes and their Poisson flow and fluid flow approximations

Consider discrete storage processes that are modulated by environmental processes. Environmental processes cause interruptions in the input and/or output processes of the discrete storage processes. Due to the difficulties encountered in the exact analysis of such discrete storage systems, often Poisson flow and/or fluid flow models with the same modulating environmental processes are proposed as approximations for these systems. The analysis of Poisson flow and fluid flow models is much easier than that of the discrete storage processes. In this paper we give sufficient conditions under which the content of the discrete storage processes can be bounded by the Poisson flow and the fluid flow models. For example, we show that Poisson flow models and the fluid flow models developed by Kosten (and by Anick, Mitra and Sondhi) can be used to bound the performance of infinite (finite) source packetized voice/data communication systems. We also show that a Poisson flow model and the fluid flow model developed by Mitra can be used to bound the buffer content of a two stage automatic transfer line. The potential use of the bounding techniques presented in this paper, of course, transcends well beyond these examples.Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9308149.

Chemical Reactions in the Manufacture of Waveguides for Long Distance Optical Data Transmission

One of the modern high technologies which has advanced enormously in the last few years is glass fiber technology. This is used in the manufacture of glass fibers for lighting purposes and for the optical transfer of analog and digital data with a high transfer density. The technical demands made on the glass fibers required for data transfer, the optical waveguides, are extremely high and are already fulfilled to a large extent by industry. At present about four million kilometers of fiber, worth ca. 800 million DM are produced worldwide (10% in the Federal Republic of Germany). Numerous chemical processes take place during the manufacture of optical waveguides. However, in contrast both to the high and constantly growing demands on the quality and to the increasing production volume of such fibers, little is in fact known about the reactions involved. The present article will attempt to develop a picture of the multifarious reactions occurring in the course of this technical process on the basis of literature data and our own studies.     

A method for selection and use of numerical integration points for molecules with cylindrical symmetry

Boys and Handy [1] have discussed the solution of the bivariational equations with restricted numerical integration. One of the weaknesses of the method was that in the numerical summations over points, some points arose with r _ij= 0 and non-zero weights. This makes the method quite impractical for the Schrodinger Hamiltonian (because of the singularity at r _ij= 0), and it cannot be advantageous for the transcorrelated Hamiltonian C^–1HC because there will be some discontinuous higher derivatives at r _ij=0. Here it is shown how the symmetry of cylindrically symmetric molecules can be used to eliminate such points, without losing any of the advantages of the overall method, such as the convergence of the eigensolutions. It is also shown how the primary numerical integration points (z _i, r_i) may be chosen in any calculation such that each is associated with an equal amount of one-electron density. The choice of the angular coordinates are governed by the removal of the r _ij=0 points and maintaining the natural orthogonality between orbitals of different symmetry types. The method has been programmed and found to be practical, although no new molecular calculations have yet been performed. It is to be hoped that these points will give a basis for new transcorrelated calculations on diatomic molecules.This paper was presented during the session on numerical integration methods for molecules of the 1970 Quantum Theory Conference in Nottingham. It has been revised in the light of the interesting discussion which followed.     

Modeling Studies of the Formation and Destruction of NO in Pulsed Barrier Discharges in Nitrogen and Air

This paper presents the results of modeling studies on the formation and destruction of NO in pulsed barrier discharges in nitrogen and air. The goals of this work are to identify the major processes involved in the formation and destruction of NO in air discharges, to distinguish between oxidative and reductive paths for NO destruction, to explore the potential importance of excited state reactions, to evaluate the role of water in such systems, and to identify the final products in the absence of heterogeneous processes. In all cases, the systems were modeled with 100×10^–4% (100 ppm) of added NO, with and without 3% added water. The focus in all of this work is chemistry in the post-pulse regime.
