Radiation of a relativistic electron with non-equilibrium own Coulomb field

The condition and specific features of the non-dipole regime of radiation is discussed in the context of the results of the recent CERN experiment NA63 on measurement of the radiation power spectrum of 149 GeV electrons in thin tantalum targets. The first observation of a logarithmic dependence of radiation yield on the target thickness that was done there is the conclusive evidence of the effect of radiation suppression in a thin layer of matter, which was predicted many years ago, and which is the direct manifestation of the radiation of a relativistic electron with non-equilibrium own Coulomb field. The special features of the angular distribution of the radiation and its polarization in a thin target at non-dipole regime are proposed for a new experimental study

A New World Average Value for the Neutron Lifetime

The analysis of the data on measurements of the neutron lifetime is presented. A new most accurate result of the measurement of neutron lifetime [Phys. Lett. B 605 (2005) 72] 878.5 +/- 0.8 s differs from the world average value [Phys. Lett. B 667 (2008) 1] 885.7 +/- 0.8 s by 6.5 standard deviations. In this connection the analysis and Monte Carlo simulation of experiments [Phys. Lett. B 483 (2000) 15] and [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63 (1989) 593] is carried out. Systematic errors of about -6 s are found in each of the experiments. The summary table for the neutron lifetime measurements after corrections and additions is given. A new world average value for the neutron lifetime 879.9 +/- 0.9 s is presented.Comment: 27 pages, 13 figures; Fig.13 update

Tree Stands and Their Productivity Dynamics at the Upper Growing Limit in Khibiny on the Background of Modern Climate Changes

Within the ecotone of the upper limit of woody vegetation on the southeastern macroslope of the Khibiny Mountain ridge (Kola Peninsula), the spatial and age structure, as well as features of the phytomass accumulation of spruce–birch stands, were studied. Analysis revealed that there was a manifold increase in the density and productivity of forest stands in the last century, and the upper border of the woodlands and dense forests has moved considerably higher into the mountains. All of this happened against the background of an increase in early summer temperatures and a longer growing season in the area in the 20th century. Our data will help simulate the response of mountain ecosystems in the region to future climate change. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd

Applications of BGP-reflection functors: isomorphisms of cluster algebras

Given a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix $A$, for any index $k$, one can define an automorphism associated with $A,$ of the field $\mathbf{Q}(u_1, >..., u_n)$ of rational functions of $n$ independent indeterminates $u_1,..., u_n.$ It is an isomorphism between two cluster algebras associated to the matrix $A$ (see section 4 for precise meaning). When $A$ is of finite type, these isomorphisms behave nicely, they are compatible with the BGP-reflection functors of cluster categories defined in [Z1, Z2] if we identify the indecomposable objects in the categories with cluster variables of the corresponding cluster algebras, and they are also compatible with the "truncated simple reflections" defined in [FZ2, FZ3]. Using the construction of preprojective or preinjective modules of hereditary algebras by Dlab-Ringel [DR] and the Coxeter automorphisms (i.e., a product of these isomorphisms), we construct infinitely many cluster variables for cluster algebras of infinite type and all cluster variables for finite types.Comment: revised versio

A family of linearizable recurrences with the Laurent property

We consider a family of non-linear recurrences with the Laurent property. Although these recurrences are not generated by mutations in a cluster algebra, they fit within the broader framework of Laurent phenomenon algebras, as introduced recently by Lam and Pylyavskyy. Furthermore, each member of this family is shown to be linearizable in two different ways, in the sense that its iterates satisfy both a linear relation with constant coefficients and a linear relation with periodic coefficients. Associated monodromy matrices and first integrals are constructed, and the connection with the dressing chain for Schrödinger operators is also explained
