Correspondences Of Hypersurfaces In Hyperbolic Poincaré Manifolds And Conformally Invariant Pdes, Vincent Bonini, José M. Espinar, Jie Qing Nov 2010

Correspondences Of Hypersurfaces In Hyperbolic Poincaré Manifolds And Conformally Invariant Pdes, Vincent Bonini, José M. Espinar, Jie Qing

Mathematics

On a hyperbolic Poincaré manifold, we derive an explicit relationship between the eigenvalues of Weyl-Schouten tensor of a conformal representative of the conformal infinity and the principal curvatures of the level sets of the associated geodesic defining function. This considerably simplifies the arguments and generalizes the results of Gálvez, Mira and the second author. In particular, we obtain the equivalence between Christoffel-type problems for hypersurfaces in a hyperbolic Poincar´e manifold and scalar curvature problems on the conformal infinity.


Consecutive Patterns: From Permutations To Column-Convex Polyominoes And Back, Don Rawlings, Mark Tiefenbruck Apr 2010

Consecutive Patterns: From Permutations To Column-Convex Polyominoes And Back, Don Rawlings, Mark Tiefenbruck

Mathematics

We expose the ties between the consecutive pattern enumeration problems associated with permutations, compositions, column-convex polyominoes, and words. Our perspective allows powerful methods from the contexts of compositions, column-convex polyominoes, and of words to be applied directly to the enumeration of permutations by consecutive patterns. We deduce a host of new consecutive pattern results,including a solution to the (2m+1)-alternating pattern problem on permutations posed by Kitaev.


U-Singularity And T-Topos Theoretic Entropy, Goro C. Kato Jan 2010

U-Singularity And T-Topos Theoretic Entropy, Goro C. Kato

Mathematics

We will give descriptions of u-singularities as we introduce the notion of t-topos theoretic entropies. The unifying methodology for a u-singularity is the universal mapping property of an inverse or direct limit. The qualitative, conceptual, and structural analyses of u-singularities are given in terms of inverse and direct limits of micro decompositions of a presheaf and coverings of an object in t-site in the theory of temporal topos.


Urcohomologies And Cohomologies Of N -Complexes, Naoya Hiramatsu, Goro Kato Jan 2010

Urcohomologies And Cohomologies Of N -Complexes, Naoya Hiramatsu, Goro Kato

Mathematics

For a general sequence of objects and morphisms, we construct two N-complexes. Then we can define cohomologies (i, k)-type of the N-complexes not only on a diagonal region but also in the triangular region. We obtain an invariant defined on a general sequence of objects and morphisms. For a short exact sequence of N-complexes, we get the associated long exact sequence generalizing the classical long exact sequence. Lastly, several properties of the vanishing cohomologies of N-complexes are given.


Ozsváth-Szabó And Rasmussen Invariants Of Cable Knots, Cornelia A. Van Cott Jan 2010

Ozsváth-Szabó And Rasmussen Invariants Of Cable Knots, Cornelia A. Van Cott

Mathematics

We study the behavior of the Ozsváth–Szabó and Rasmussen knot concordance invariants τ and s on Km,n, the (m,n)–cable of a knot K where m and n are relatively prime. We show that for every knot K and for any fixed positive integer m, both of the invariants evaluated on Km,n differ from their value on the torus knot Tm,n by fixed constants for all but finitely many n>0. Combining this result together with Hedden’s extensive work on the behavior of τ on (m,mr+1)–cables yields bounds on the value of τ on any (m,n)–cable of K. In addition, several …


Reply To "Comment On 'Cooperation In An Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma On Networks With Degree-Degree Correlations' ", Stephen Devlin, T Treloar Jan 2010

Reply To "Comment On 'Cooperation In An Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma On Networks With Degree-Degree Correlations' ", Stephen Devlin, T Treloar

Mathematics

We respond to the comment of Zhu et al. [Phys. Rev. E 82, 038101 (2010)] and show that the results in question are not misleading.


Augmented Measurement System Assessment, Nathaniel Stevens, R Browne, S H. Steiner, R J. Mackay Jan 2010

Augmented Measurement System Assessment, Nathaniel Stevens, R Browne, S H. Steiner, R J. Mackay

Mathematics

The standard plan for the assessment of the variation due to a measurement system involves a number of operators repeatedly measuring a number of parts in a balanced design. In this article, we consider the performance of two types of (unbalanced) assessment plans. In each type, we use a standard plan augmented with a second component. In type A augmentation, each operator measures a different set of parts once each. In type B augmentation, each operator measures the same set of parts once each. The goal of the paper is to identify good augmented plans for estimating the gauge repeatability …


The Ro(G)-Graded Serre Spectral Sequence, William C. Kronholm Jan 2010

The Ro(G)-Graded Serre Spectral Sequence, William C. Kronholm

Mathematics

In this paper the Serre spectral sequence of Moerdijk and Svensson is extended from Bredon cohomology to RO(G)RO(G)-graded cohomology for finite groups GG. Special attention is paid to the case G=Z/2G=Z/2 where the spectral sequence is used to compute the cohomology of certain projective bundles and loop spaces.
