Dynamical Systems On Three Manifolds Part II: 3-Manifolds,Heegaard Splittings and Three-Dimensional Systems
The global behaviour of nonlinear systems is extremely important in control
and systems theory since the usual local theories will only give information
about a system in some neighbourhood of an operating point. Away from that
point, the system may have totally different behaviour and so the theory
developed for the local system will be useless for the global one.
In this paper we shall consider the analytical and topological structure of
systems on 2- and 3- manifolds and show that it is possible to obtain systems
with 'arbitrarily strange' behaviour, i.e., arbitrary numbers of chaotic
regimes which are knotted and linked in arbitrary ways. We shall do this by
considering Heegaard Splittings of these manifolds and the resulting systems
defined on the boundaries.Comment: 15 pages with 9 pictures. Accepted by Int. J. of Bifurcation and

Dynamics-A explorer RIMS data analysis
Activities of the RIMS instrument during the extended mission are planned. The modes of operation for RIMS to achieve the science requirements utilizing the new and exciting information on the composition and dynamics of the low energy (0-50eV) ions in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere are determined. The specific science problems and the required RIMS operational modes needed to acquire the desired data are identified. The analysis was performed on the RIMS data to achieve the science results and this new information was used in determining RIMS operations during the latter part of the mission. Necessary sensitivity tests of RIMS operating modes and instrument performance was suggested. The inflight results was compared with theoretical models
Behavior of thermal plasma in the ionosphere and magnetosphere
Models of ion flow in the topside ionosphere were developed. These models took both H(+) and O(+) into account and permitted various parameter studies to be made affecting H(+) escape in polar winds. Extensive computer programs were written to display the measured electron density profiles in ways useful to geophysical analysis. The relationship between the location of the plasmapause as it is found in the equatorial plane and the location of the ionospheric trough was also investigated
Studies of the structure of the plasmasphere as seen by radiosounder measurements aboard the Alovetti-satellite
The structure of the plasmasphere was studied as seen by radiosounder measurements aboard the Alovetti-2 satellite. Magnetic tape data files were obtained from the NASA Ames Research Center to give a reasonably complete set of high latitude electron density profiles. Considerable effort was expended to develop models of ion flow in the topside ionosphere. These models took both H(+) and O(+) into account and permitted various parameter studies to be made of the various factors which affect H(+) escape in polar wind flows. The results of these studies are included. Extensive computer programs were written to display the measured electron density profiles in ways useful to geophysical analysis. The expected mid-latitude trough was easily discernable in the nightime ionosphere at locations expected from similar observations of the plasmapause. In the dayside ionosphere, however, it proved extremely difficult to find any trough-like phenomena. Using the previously developed computer models, it was possible to study the region where the plasmapause appeared to be absent. It was found that over much of the dayside, large fluxes were computed well inside the plasmapause extending down to L-shells as low as 2.5
Embedding the Pentagon
The Pentagon Model is an explicit supersymmetric extension of the Standard
Model, which involves a new strongly-interacting SU(5) gauge theory at
TeV-scale energies. We show that the Pentagon can be embedded into an SU(5) x
SU(5) x SU(5) gauge group at the GUT scale. The doublet-triplet splitting
problem, and proton decay compatible with experimental bounds, can be
successfully addressed in this context. The simplest approach fails to provide
masses for the lighter two generations of quarks and leptons; however, this
problem can be solved by the addition of a pair of antisymmetric tensor fields
and an axion.Comment: 39 page
