Pellets recovered from stick nests and new diet items of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes)
This is the first record showing eleven species in seven genera of Furnariidae (Aves: Passeriformes) from Argentina that regurgitate pellets. A total of 627 nests of Furnariidae was examined, and from 84 nests (13.3%), 1,329 pellets were recovered. These pellets were found in the closed, domed nests of many Furnariidae, because in comparison to other passerine birds, their nests were used for roosting, especially in the subfamily Synallaxinae. Anumbius annumbi had the highest percentage of nests containing pellets. Food items identified from the pellets provided important new data on the diets of several species of Furnariidae.Fil: Turienzo, Paola NoemÃ. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

A Mirror Theorem for Toric Stacks
We prove a Givental-style mirror theorem for toric Deligne--Mumford stacks X.
This determines the genus-zero Gromov--Witten invariants of X in terms of an
explicit hypergeometric function, called the I-function, that takes values in
the Chen--Ruan orbifold cohomology of X.Comment: 35 pages. v2: key references added. v3: errors corrected; formal

On the structure and applications of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group
This work is a pedagogical review dedicated to a modern description of the
Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group. The curved space-times that will be taken into
account are the ones that suitably approach, at infinity, Minkowski space-time.
In particular we will focus on asymptotically flat space-times. In this work
the concept of asymptotic symmetry group of those space-times will be studied.
In the first two sections we derive the asymptotic group following the
classical approach which was basically developed by Bondi, van den Burg,
Metzner and Sachs. This is essentially the group of transformations between
coordinate systems of a certain type in asymptotically flat space-times. In the
third section the conformal method and the notion of asymptotic simplicity are
introduced, following mainly the works of Penrose. This section prepares us for
another derivation of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group which will involve the
conformal structure, and is thus more geometrical and fundamental. In the
subsequent sections we discuss the properties of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs group,
e.g. its algebra and the possibility to obtain as its subgroup the Poincar\'e
group, as we may expect. The paper ends with a review of the
Bondi-Metzner-Sachs invariance properties of classical gravitational scattering
discovered by Strominger, that are finding application to black hole physics
and quantum gravity in the literature.Comment: 62 pages, 9 figures. Misprints have been amended and two important

A fractional Kirchhoff problem involving a singular term and a critical nonlinearity
In this paper we consider the following critical nonlocal problem
\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
M\left(\displaystyle\iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2N}}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}}dxdy\right)(-\Delta)^s
u = \displaystyle\frac{\lambda}{u^\gamma}+u^{2^*_s-1}&\quad\mbox{in } \Omega,\\
u>0&\quad\mbox{in } \Omega,\\ u=0&\quad\mbox{in } \mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega,
\end{array}\right. where is an open bounded subset of
with continuous boundary, dimension with parameter ,
is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent, is a
real parameter, exponent , models a Kirchhoff type
coefficient, while is the fractional Laplace operator. In
particular, we cover the delicate degenerate case, that is when the Kirchhoff
function is zero at zero. By combining variational methods with an
appropriate truncation argument, we provide the existence of two solutions
