Jewish Thought in Newtonian England: The Career and Writings of David Nieto (In Memory of Jacob J. Petuchowski)

David Nieto (1654-1728), the first rabbi of the new Bevis Marks Synagogue and the hakham of the Spanish and Portuguese congregation of London at the beginning of the eighteenth century, is not an unstudied figure in recent Jewish historiography. From the early portrait of Moses Gaster to the later elaborations of Cecil Roth and Moses Hyamson, and from the exhaustive bibliographical study of Israel Solomons to the pioneering study of Nieto\u27s thought by Jacob Petuchowski, Nieto\u27s public career and theological writings have been examined as well as any other Jewish intellectual figure of early modern Europe.1 Yet each of these studies, especially Petuchowski\u27s book, was completed over thirty years ago. In the interim, new scholarship in Jewish history, particularly in the history of Marranism and Sabbatianism, has illumined the broader cultural ambiance of Nieto\u27s era.

Heisenberg-invariant Kummer surfaces

We study the geometry of Nieto's quintic threefold (Barth & Nieto, J. Alg. Geom. 3, 1994) and the Kummer and abelian surfaces that correspond to special loci.Comment: Plain TeX, 17 pages. Final version, with minor corrections, to appear in Proc. Edinburgh Math. So

COMMENT ON "THE ROLE OF H3O+ IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ILLITE" BY F. NIETO, M. MELINI, AND I. ABAD

The arguments of Nieto et al. (2010) in favor of the incorporation of H3O+ rather than H2O in interlayer positions of illite are disputable. Stoichiometric arguments suggest that the excess water in the Silver Hill illite is in the form of H2O. Moreover, recent thermodynamic models assuming the incorporation of interlayer H2O in illite provide reasonable estimates of temperature and water content using the AEM/TEM analyses of Nieto et al. (2010)

The modularity of the Barth-Nieto quintic and its relatives

The moduli space of (1,3)-polarized abelian surfaces with full level-2 structure is birational to a double cover of the Barth-Nieto quintic. Barth and Nieto have shown that these varieties have Calabi-Yau models Z and Y, respectively. In this paper we apply the Weil conjectures to show that Y and Z are rigid and we prove that the L-function of their common third \'etale cohomology group is modular, as predicted by a conjecture of Fontaine and Mazur. The corresponding modular form is the unique normalized cusp form of weight 4 for the group \Gamma_1(6). By Tate's conjecture, this should imply that Y, the fibred square of the universal elliptic curve S_1(6), and Verrill's rigid Calabi-Yau Z_{A_3}, which all have the same L-function, are in correspondence over Q. We show that this is indeed the case by giving explicit maps.Comment: 30 pages, Latex2
