Odd-Excited Binomial States of the Radiation Field and Some of Their Statistical Properties

In this paper a new state called odd-excited binomial state (OEBS) is introduced. It interpolates between the odd number state and the odd-excited coherent state. We discuss some statistical properties, such as the Glauber second-order correlation function and squeezing phenomenon (normal and amplitude-squared squeezing) for this state. The quasiprobability distribution functions (Husimi Q-function and Wigner W-function) are also examined.     

Non existence de solutions globales de certaines équations d'ondes non linéairesNonexistence of global solutions to some nonlinear wave equations

We study the semilinear wave equation u_tt?Δu=p^?k|u|^m in $\text{R}\text{×}\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$, where p is a conformal factor approaching 0 at infinity. We prove that the solutions blow-up in finite time for small powers m, while having an arbitrarily long life-span for large m. Furthermore, we study the finite time blow-up of solutions for the class of quasilinear wave equations u_tt?Δu=p^?k|Lu|^m in $\text{R}\text{×}\text{R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}$. To cite this article: M.

Nonexistence Results of Minimal Immersions

Let M be a Riemannian m-dimensional manifold with m ≥ 3, endowed with non zero parallel p-form. We prove that there is no minimal isometric immersions of M in a Riemannian manifold N with constant strictly negative sectional curvature. Next we show that, under the conform flatness of the manifold N and some assumptions on the Ricci curvature of N, there is no α-pluriharmonic isometric immersion.     

On the Embedding of Ordered Semigroups into Ordered Group

It was shown in [7] that any right reversible, cancellative ordered semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group and as a consequence, it was shown that a commutative ordered semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group if and only if it is cancellative. In this paper we introduce the concept of L-maher and R-maher semigroups and use a technique similar to that used in [7] to show that any left reversible cancellative ordered L or R-maher semigroup can be embedded into an ordered group.
