二维紧致具有非正曲率Riemann流形Euler数的一个计算公式

设Ｍ是二维紧致、曲率Ｋ（Ｍ）≤０的Ｒｉｅｍａｎｎ流形．对任一ｘ　Ｍ,在Ｍ上类数≥３的点集非空且只有有限个点｛α１,α２,…;αｄ｝．用Ｋｊ表示αｊ的类数,即αｊ到ｘ的最短测地线的条数．那么,Ｍ的Ｅｕｌｅｒ数Ｘ（Ｍ）可以表示为：Ｘ（Ｍ）＝（ｄ＋１）＝Ｋｊ．如果Ｍ上类数２３的点只有一个,那么这个点是Ｍ上距离ｘ最远的点．     

Hamiltonian cycles on random lattices of arbitrary genus

A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph is a closed path that visits every vertex once and only once. It has been difficult to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles on regular lattices with periodic boundary conditions, e.g. lattices on a torus, due to the presence of winding modes. In this paper, the exact number of Hamiltonian cycles on a random trivalent fat graph drawn faithfully on a torus is obtained. This result is further extended to the case of random graphs drawn on surfaces of an arbitrary genus. The conformational exponent y is found to depend on the genus linearly.     

Development of multi-wavelength microsphere fibre laser system for potential sensor applications

A multi-wavelength microsphere laser system, using a chirped fibre Bragg grating and a microsphere resonator as wavelength-selective elements and a high dopant erbium doped fibre as the gain material, has been successfully demonstrated. The multi-wavelength generation of the laser system arises from both the microsphere whispering gallery mode selection and from the additional Raman scattering inside the microsphere cavity when the erbium laser is operating at resonance with the whispering gallery modes. Through an appropriate design and fabrication of a microsphere and of a fibre taper, a selective multi-wavelength fibre laser has been realized when the pump power is above threshold required. The laser output lines created have shown much narrower linewidths than those from conventional fibre lasers and these characteristics are particularly suitable for the range of sensor applications envisaged in the work.

Semilinear fractional integro-differential equations with compact semigroup

In this paper, we study the local and global existence of mild solutions to a class of fractional integro-differential equations in an arbitrary Banach space associated with operators generating compact semigroup on the Banach space.     

Natural examples of Valdivia compact spaces

We collect examples of Valdivia compact spaces, their continuous images and associated classes of Banach spaces which appear naturally in various branches of mathematics. We focus on topological constructions generating Valdivia compact spaces, linearly ordered compact spaces, compact groups, L¹ spaces, Banach lattices and noncommutative L¹ spaces.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-singular dichotomy for orbital measures of classical simple Lie algebras

We prove that the G-invariant orbital measures supported on adjoint orbits in the Lie algebra of a classical, compact, connected, simple Lie group satisfy a smoothness dichotomy: Either μ ^k is singular to Lebesgue measure or μ ^k ∈ L ². The minimum k for which μ ^k ∈ L ² is specified and is also the minimum k such that the k-fold sum of the orbit has positive measure. S. K.
