Disjoint finite partial steiner triple systems can be embedded in disjoint finite steiner triple systems

AbstractThis paper shows that a pair of disjoint finite partial Steiner triple systems can be embedded in a pair of disjoint finite Steiner triple systems

Complex Hadamard matrices of order 6: a four-parameter family

In this paper we construct a new, previously unknown four-parameter family of complex Hadamard matrices of order 6, the entries of which are described by algebraic functions of roots of various sextic polynomials. We conjecture that the new, generic family G together with Karlsson's degenerate family K and Tao's spectral matrix S form an exhaustive list of complex Hadamard matrices of order 6. Such a complete characterization might finally lead to the solution of the famous MUB-6 problem.Comment: 17 pages; Contribution to the workshop "Quantum Physics in higher dimensional Hilbert Spaces", Traunkirchen, Austria, July 201

On the structure of phase transition maps for three or more coexisting phases

This paper is partly based on a lecture delivered by the author at the ERC workshop "Geometric Partial Differential Equations" held in Pisa in September 2012. What is presented here is an expanded version of that lecture.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figure

Entropy in Dimension One

This paper completely classifies which numbers arise as the topological entropy associated to postcritically finite self-maps of the unit interval. Specifically, a positive real number h is the topological entropy of a postcritically finite self-map of the unit interval if and only if exp(h) is an algebraic integer that is at least as large as the absolute value of any of the conjugates of exp(h); that is, if exp(h) is a weak Perron number. The postcritically finite map may be chosen to be a polynomial all of whose critical points are in the interval (0,1). This paper also proves that the weak Perron numbers are precisely the numbers that arise as exp(h), where h is the topological entropy associated to ergodic train track representatives of outer automorphisms of a free group.Comment: 38 pages, 15 figures.

Computing representations for radicals of finitely generated differential ideals

International audienceThis paper deals with systems of polynomial di erential equations, ordinary or with partial derivatives. The embedding theory is the di erential algebra of Ritt and Kolchin. We describe an algorithm, named Rosenfeld-Gröbner, which computes a representation for the radical p of the diff erential ideal generated by any such sys- tem . The computed representation constitutes a normal simpli er for the equivalence relation modulo p (it permits to test embership in p). It permits also to compute Taylor expansions of solutions of . The algorithm is implemented within a package in MAPLE
