Revisiting the determinacy on New Keynesian Models
The goal of this paper is to shed light on the determinacy question that
arises in New Keynesian models as result of a combination of several monetary
policy rules; in these models, we provide conditions to guarantee existence and
uniqueness of equilibrium by means of results that are obtained from
theoretical analysis. In particular, we show that Taylor--like rules in
interest rate setting are not the only way to reach determinacy of the rational
expectations equilibrium in the New Keynesian setting. The key technical tool
that we use for that purposes is the so--called Budan--Fourier Theorem, that we
review along the paper.Comment: 16 pages, comments are welcom
The level of pairs of polynomials
Given a polynomial with coefficients in a field of prime characteristic
, it is known that there exists a differential operator that raises to
its th power. We first discuss a relation between the `level' of this
differential operator and the notion of `stratification' in the case of
hyperelliptic curves. Next we extend the notion of level to that of a pair of
polynomials. We prove some basic properties and we compute this level in
certain special cases. In particular we present examples of polynomials and
such that there is no differential operator raising to its th
power.Comment: 14 pages, comments are welcom
An algorithm for constructing certain differential operators in positive characteristic
Given a non-zero polynomial in a polynomial ring with coefficients in
a finite field of prime characteristic , we present an algorithm to compute
a differential operator which raises to its th power. For
some specific families of polynomials, we also study the level of such a
differential operator , i.e., the least integer such that
is -linear. In particular, we obtain a characterization of
supersingular elliptic curves in terms of the level of the associated
differential operator.Comment: 23 pages. Comments are welcom
On some local cohomology spectral sequences
We introduce a formalism to produce several families of spectral sequences
involving the derived functors of the limit and colimit functors over a finite
partially ordered set. The first type of spectral sequences involves the left
derived functors of the colimit of the direct system that we obtain applying a
family of functors to a single module. For the second type we follow a
completely different strategy as we start with the inverse system that we
obtain by applying a covariant functor to an inverse system. The spectral
sequences involve the right derived functors of the corresponding limit. We
also have a version for contravariant functors. In all the introduced spectral
sequences we provide sufficient conditions to ensure their degeneration at
their second page. As a consequence we obtain some decomposition theorems that
greatly generalize the well-known decomposition formula for local cohomology
modules given by Hochster.Comment: 63 pages, comments are welcome. To appear in International

Study of oscillations
This document contains two ALEPH Reports on three different analyses of oscillations, based on the statistics collected by the ALEPH experiment during 1991-1995. mesons are fully reconstructed in several hadronic decay channels, yielding a small sample of candidates with excellent decay length and momentum reconstruction. Semileptonic decays with a fully recontructed meson yield larger statistics with equally high purity, but somewhat degraded momentum resolution. Inclusive semileptonic decays of b hadrons yield the highest sensitivity to oscillations, due to the much higher statistics. The combination of the above three with the other ALEPH analyses gives a limit of ps at 95% C.L. with a sensitivity equal to ps
