Full asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for non-self-adjoint elliptic cone operators
The operator and its trace are investigated in the case when is
a non-self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a manifold with conical
singularities. Under a certain spectral condition (parameter-ellipticity) we
obtain a full asymptotic expansion in of the heat trace as . As
in the smooth compact case, the problem is reduced to the investigation of the
resolvent . The main step will consist in approximating this
operator family by a parametrix to using a suitable
parameter-dependent calculus.Comment: 35 pages. Final version to appear in Math. Nachrichten. The paper has

Hecke operators on rational functions
We define Hecke operators U_m that sift out every m-th Taylor series
coefficient of a rational function in one variable, defined over the reals. We
prove several structure theorems concerning the eigenfunctions of these Hecke
operators, including the pleasing fact that the point spectrum of the operator
U_m is simply the set {+/- m^k, k in N} U {0}. It turns out that the
simultaneous eigenfunctions of all of the Hecke operators involve Dirichlet
characters mod L, giving rise to the result that any arithmetic function of m
that is completely multiplicative and also satisfies a linear recurrence must
be a Dirichlet character times a power of m. We also define the notions of
level and weight for rational eigenfunctions, by analogy with modular forms,
and we show the existence of some interesting finite-dimensional subspaces of
rational eigenfunctions (of fixed weight and level), whose union gives all of
the rational functions whose coefficients are quasi-polynomials.Comment: 35 pages, LaTe
On cyclic numbers and an extension of Midy's theorem
In this note we consider fractions of the form 1/m and their floating-point
representation in various arithmetic bases. For instance, what is 1/7 in base
2005? And, what about 1/4? We give a simple algorithm to answer these
questions. In addition, we discuss an extension of Midy's theorem whose proof
relies on elementary modular arithmetic.Comment: 6 pages, aimed at undergraduate student
Adjoints of elliptic cone operators
We study the adjointness problem for the closed extensions of a general
b-elliptic operator A in x^{-\nu}Diff^m_b(M;E), \nu>0, initially defined as an
unbounded operator A:C_c^\infty(M;E)\subset x^\mu L^2_b(M;E)\to x^\mu
L^2_b(M;E), \mu \in \R. The case where A is a symmetric semibounded operator is
of particular interest, and we give a complete description of the domain of the
Friedrichs extension of such an operator.Comment: 40 pages, LaTeX, preliminary versio
Final Focus System for a Muon Collider: A Test Model
The present scenario for a high luminosity 4 TeV on center of mass muon
collider requires a beta function =3 mm at the interaction point. We discuss a
test model of a basic layout which satisfies the requirements although it is
not fully realistic.Comment: 9 pages, uses REVTEX macros. Submitted to the Proceedings of the
Symposium on Physics Potential and Development of mu^+-mu^- Colliders, San
