A Lieb-Thirring Bound for a Magnetic Pauli Hamiltonian

A Lieb-Thirring-Sobolev type inequality for Pauli Hamiltonians with magnetic fields is derived. The bound is in terms of an effective field, whose energy is comparable to that of the magnetic field itself. An application to the stability of matter in magnetic fields is given.

Functional Quantization and Small Ball Probabilities for Gaussian Processes

Quantization consists in studying the L ^r -error induced by the approximation of a random vector X by a vector (quantized version) taking a finite number n of values. We investigate this problem for Gaussian random vectors in an infinite dimensional Banach space and in particular, for Gaussian processes. A precise link proved by Fehringer⁽⁴⁾ and Dereich et al. ⁽³⁾ relates lower and upper bounds for small ball probabilities with upper and lower bounds for the quantization error, respectively. We establish a complete relationship by showing that the same holds for the direction from the quantization error to small ball probabilities. This allows us to compute the exact rate of convergence to zero of the minimal L ^r -quantization error from logarithmic small ball asymptotics and vice versa.     

Scattering of Magnetic Edge States

We consider a charged particle following the boundary of a two dimensional domain because a homogeneous magnetic field is applied. We develop the basic scattering theory for the corresponding quantum mechanical edge states. The scattering operator attains a limit for large magnetic fields which preserves Landau bands. We interpret the corresponding scattering phases in terms of classical trajectories. Communicated by Yosi Avron submitted 23/02/05, accepted 3/05/05     

Stationary axisymmetric solutions in the vacuum Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory

It is shown that any stationary axisymmetric solution to the vacuum field equations of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke (JBD) theory may be obtained from a composition of any stationary axisymmetric vacuum Einstein spacetime with the Weyl class of metrics. Thus, generating solution techniques can be used to obtain any stationary axisymmetric JBD vacuum solution. In this manner, C. B. G. McIntosh's results concerning this topic are improved upon.     

Nucleosides and Nucleotides. Part 21. Synthesis of a Tridecanucleoside Dodecaphosphate Incorporating the Unnatural Base 2 (1 H)-Pyridone

The modified nucleoside Π_d (1) was used in the synthesis of the oligonucleotide d (TpTpΠpCpGpTpCpApApApApTpC). Diester methodology being unsatisfactory, the triester synthesis was investigated with the unnatural nucleoside. An improved method of nucleoside phosphorylation was developed for the synthesis of the fully-protected nucleotide 2e. This molecule could be cleanly and selectively deprotected, and allowed the efficient synthesis of the desired oligonucleotide.

Zur quantitativen Bestimmung der Bitterstoffe inLactuca wurde von den Verfassern eine gustometrische Methode verwendet. Da diese grundsätzlich den kolorimetrischen Methoden gleichzustellen ist, außerdem infolge des häufigen Vorkommens von bitter schmeckenden Substanzen in biologischen Materialien ein Interesse für die Bestimmungsmöglichkeit dieser Verbindungen besteht, wurde die vorliegende Arbeit aufgenommen.Die Schriftleitung.     

A hexacyclic ent-trachylobane diterpenoid possessing an oxetane ring from Mitrephora glabra

[chemical reaction: see text]. Three new ent-trachylobane diterpenoids (1-3) were isolated and structures elucidated from Mitrephora glabra Scheff. (Annonaceae). Mitrephorone A (1) possesses a hexacyclic ring system with adjacent ketone moieties and an oxetane ring, both of which are unprecedented among trachylobanes. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cells, where 1 displayed the most potent and broadest activity, and against a battery of antimicrobial assays, where all compounds were approximately equipotent.
