Analytically Continued Hypergeometric Expression Of The Incomplete Beta Function, Jack C. Straton
Analytically Continued Hypergeometric Expression Of The Incomplete Beta Function, Jack C. Straton
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The Incomplete Beta Function is rewritten as a Hypergeometric Function that is the analytic continuation of the conventional form, a generalization of the finite series, which simpifies the Stieltjes transform of powers of a monomial divided by powers of a binomial.
Flow Patterns In A Two-Roll Mill, Christopher Hills
Flow Patterns In A Two-Roll Mill, Christopher Hills
Articles
The two-dimensional flow of a Newtonian fluid in a rectangular box that contains two disjoint, independently-rotating, circular boundaries is studied. The flow field for this two-roll mill is determined numerically using a finite-difference scheme over a Cartesian grid with variable horizontal and vertical spacing to accommodate satisfactorily the circular boundaries. To make the streamfunction numerically determinate we insist that the pressure field is everywhere single-valued. The physical character, streamline topology and transitions of the flow are discussed for a range of geometries, rotation rates and Reynolds numbers in the underlying seven-parameter space. An account of a preliminary experimental study of …

Some Irrational Generalised Moonshine From Orbifolds, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite
Articles
We verify the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for some irrational modular functions for theMonster centralisers related to the Harada-Norton, Held, M12 and L3(3) simple groups based on certain orbifolding constraints. We find explicitly the fixing groups of the hauptmoduls arising in each case.
Rational Generalized Moonshine From Abelian Orbifoldings Of The Moonshine Module, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite
Rational Generalized Moonshine From Abelian Orbifoldings Of The Moonshine Module, Rossen Ivanov, Michael Tuite
Articles
We consider orbifoldings of the Moonshine Module with respect to the abelian group generated by a pair of commuting Monster group elements with one of prime order p = 2, 3, 5, 7 and the other of order pk for k = 1 or k prime. We show that constraints arising from meromorphic orbifold conformal field theory allow us to demonstrate that each orbifold partition function with rational coefficients is either constant or is a hauptmodul for an explicitly found modular fixing group of genus zero. We thus confirm in the cases considered the Generalised Moonshine conjectures for all rational …

Like A Bridge Over Colored Water: A Mathematical Review Of The Rainbow Bridge: Rainbows In Art, Myth, And Science, John A. Adam
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
Commenting on a recent book, the author discusses various views of the rainbow: its role in culture, its scientific description, and its mathematical theory.
