Strokes Of Existence: The Connection Of All Things, Mari Gorman

Graduate Student Publications and Research

Acted or real—and all life is real whether one is acting or not—the common denominator and consistent, ubiquitous reality of life and all behavior is that it manifests in the form of relationships on all scales. But what is a relationship? Until now, the answer to this question has not been sufficiently known. As a result of many years of empirical research that began with the aim of discovering what is going on in a gifted actor when s/he is playing a character that can be observed and experienced as a living, intuitive being, and based on the knowledge that …

Towards The Computation Of The Convex Hull Of A Configuration From Its Corresponding Separating Matrix, Elie Feder, David Garber

Publications and Research

In this paper we cope with the following problem compute the size of the convex hull of a configuration C where the given data is the number of separating lines between any two points of the configuration (where the lines are generated by pairs of other points of the configuration)

We give an algorithm for the case that the convex hull is of size 3 and a partial algorithm and some directions for the case that the convex hull is of size bigger than 3.

On Groups Of Homological Dimension One, Jonathan Cornick

Publications and Research

It has been conjectured that the groups of homological dimension one are precisely the nontrivial locally free groups. Some algebraic, geometric and analytic properties of any potential counter example to the conjecture are discussed.

Vortices And Chaos In The Quantum Fluid, D. A. Wisniacki, E. R. Pujals, F. Borondo

Publications and Research

The motion of a single vortex originates chaos in the quantum fluid defined in Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics. Here we analize this situation in a very simple case: one single vortex in a rectangular billiard.
