Weierstrass representations for harmonic morphisms on Euclidean spaces and spheres
We construct large families of harmonic morphisms which are holomorphic with
respect to Hermitian structures by finding heierarchies of Weierstrass-type
representations. This enables us to find new examples of complex-valued
harmonic morphisms from Euclidean spaces and spheres.Comment: Minor revision adding example. Latex 2.09. 14 page
Twistor theory on a finite graph
We show how the description of a shear-free ray congruence in Minkowski space
as an evolving family of semi-conformal mappings can naturally be formulated on
a finite graph. For this, we introduce the notion of holomorphic function on a
graph. On a regular coloured graph of degree three, we recover the space-time
picture. In the spirit of twistor theory, where a light ray is the more
fundamental object from which space-time points should be derived, the line
graph, whose points are the edges of the original graph, should be considered
as the basic object. The Penrose twistor correspondence is discussed in this
context
Set & Drift: The Soviet Theater Command: An Update
Since my article was originally published in this journal in 1980, additional information has become available which supports my conclusion chat the theater command, the High Command, may be reinstituted within the Soviet strategic command and control structure
I Need My Mommy
Drugs, mandated sentencing, overflowing prisons have negatively affected the lives of 2.3 million children of inmates. This study explored the efficacy of esteem building and parenting perspectives for incarcerated mothers preparing for release
Violence Against Women: Looking Behind the Mask of Incarcerated Batterers
Addressing violence against women by sharing battered prison women\u27s written accounts with incarcerated male abusers, in a Freirian/humanities adult education program, confirmed the feminist perspective of male entitlement, female subordination in a sociohistorical context
