Spectral multiplicity for powers of weakly mixing automorphisms
We study the behavior of maximal multiplicities for the powers of
a weakly mixing automorphism . For some special infinite set we show the
existence of a weakly mixing rank-one automorphism such that
and for all . Moreover, the cardinality
of the set of spectral multiplicities for is not bounded. We have
and , , . We
also construct another weakly mixing automorphism with the following
properties: for but ,
all powers have homogeneous spectrum, and the set of limit points of
the sequence is infinite
Typology of export specialization of the russian regions
© 2014, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved. The work carries out the primary analysis of the mass economic-geographical information which includes: 1) the stage of systematization using the methods of typing and zoning, 2) the analysis of the existing sectorial and regional characteristics of the foreign trade activity of the Russian Federation. Balances of foreign trade operations of all organizations as parts of the subjects of the Russian Federation that carry out these operations in the period from 2000 to 2010 within major product groups, are in the basis of the typing. Combining the indicators of foreign trade in seven groups is according to state statistics: food supplies, supply of fuel and energy components, petrochemical products, the supply of timber and related forest products, supply of products of the metallurgical and machine-building industries, as well as the group that unites all the other types of products. In the result of the research of the branch structure of the regions’ export we managed to allocate 8 types of subjects of the Russian Federation, where the regions without prevalent specialization belong to the 8th type
MHD alpha^2-dynamo, Squire equation and PT-symmetric interpolation between square well and harmonic oscillator
It is shown that the alpha^2-dynamo of Magnetohydrodynamics, the hydrodynamic
Squire equation as well as an interpolation model of PT-symmetric Quantum
Mechanics are closely related as spectral problems in Krein spaces. For the
alpha^2-dynamo and the PT-symmetric model the strong similarities are
demonstrated with the help of a 2x2 operator matrix representation, whereas the
Squire equation is re-interpreted as a rescaled and Wick-rotated PT-symmetric
problem. Based on recent results on the Squire equation the spectrum of the
PT-symmetric interpolation model is analyzed in detail and the Herbst limit is
described as spectral singularity.Comment: 21 pages, LaTeX2e, 10 figures, minor improvements, references added,

Group measure space decomposition of II_1 factors and W*-superrigidity
We prove a "unique crossed product decomposition" result for group measure
space II_1 factors arising from arbitrary free ergodic probability measure
preserving (p.m.p.) actions of groups \Gamma in a fairly large family G, which
contains all free products of a Kazhdan group and a non-trivial group, as well
as certain amalgamated free products over an amenable subgroup. We deduce that
if T_n denotes the group of upper triangular matrices in PSL(n,Z), then any
free, mixing p.m.p. action of the amalgamated free product of PSL(n,Z) with
itself over T_n, is W*-superrigid, i.e. any isomorphism between L^\infty(X)
\rtimes \Gamma and an arbitrary group measure space factor L^\infty(Y) \rtimes
\Lambda, comes from a conjugacy of the actions. We also prove that for many
groups \Gamma in the family G, the Bernoulli actions of \Gamma are
W*-superrigid.Comment: Final version. Some extra details have been added to improve the

Generic representations of abelian groups and extreme amenability
If is a Polish group and is a countable group, denote by
\Hom(\Gamma, G) the space of all homomorphisms . We study
properties of the group \cl{\pi(\Gamma)} for the generic \pi \in
\Hom(\Gamma, G), when is abelian and is one of the following
three groups: the unitary group of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the
automorphism group of a standard probability space, and the isometry group of
the Urysohn metric space. Under mild assumptions on , we prove that in
the first case, there is (up to isomorphism of topological groups) a unique
generic \cl{\pi(\Gamma)}; in the other two, we show that the generic
\cl{\pi(\Gamma)} is extremely amenable. We also show that if is
torsion-free, the centralizer of the generic is as small as possible,
extending a result of King from ergodic theory.Comment: Version
Cybercities: Mediated Public Open Spaces - A Matter of Interaction and Interfaces.
In the near past, sources of information about public open spaces were: people, the place itself and historical archives. Accordingly, the information could be obtained by interviewing the visitors, by reading some poorly equipped signs on monuments or by research in libraries. Today, a new source appeared: The place itself covers its own information by the mean of the growing of the ICT (Information Communication Technologies). In addition, the information can be personalised in a way each people can access it individually. Ten years ago, a left-over newspaper on a park bench was a compact piece of information. Today, the newspaper resides on a smartphone in our pockets. In the future, the park bench will still be there, but dramatically changed to an IoT (Internet of things) object, bringing information to the people. Therefore, there is the need to re-think the park bench as an interface. A simple, fundamental point is: the quality of the interface rules the quality of the information. With a special focus on the latter, this chapter discusses how the classical model of the city is enhanced with the senseable city concept and how digital information influences, adopts, transforms and re-configures different objects in urban areas
