Finite sets of dd-planes in affine space

Let $A$ be a subvariety of affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$ whose irreducible components are $d$-dimensional linear or affine subspaces of $\mathbb{A}^n$. Denote by $D(A)\subset\mathbb{N}^n$ the set of exponents of standard monomials of $A$. We show that the combinatorial object $D(A)$ reflects the geometry of $A$ in a very direct way. More precisely, we define a $d$-plane in $\mathbb{N}^n$ as being a set $\gamma+\oplus_{j\in J}\mathbb{N}e_{j}$, where #J=d and $\gamma_{j}=0$ for all $j\in J$. We call the $d$-plane thus defined to be parallel to $\oplus_{j\in J}\mathbb{N}e_{j}$. We show that the number of $d$-planes in $D(A)$ equals the number of components of $A$. This generalises a classical result, the finiteness algorithm, which holds in the case $d=0$. In addition to that, we determine the number of all $d$-planes in $D(A)$ parallel to $\oplus_{j\in J}\mathbb{N}e_{j}$, for all $J$. Furthermore, we describe $D(A)$ in terms of the standard sets of the intersections $A\cap\{X_{1}=\lambda\}$, where $\lambda$ runs through $\mathbb{A}^1$.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figure

Coupled-channel analysis of the possible D(∗)D(∗)D^{(*)}D^{(*)}, Bˉ(∗)Bˉ(∗)\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)} and D(∗)Bˉ(∗)D^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)} molecular states

We perform a coupled-channel study of the possible deuteron-like molecules with two heavy flavor quarks, including the systems of $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ with double charm, $\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ with double bottom and $D^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ with both charm and bottom, within the one-boson-exchange model. In our study, we take into account the S-D mixing which plays an important role in the formation of the loosely bound deuteron, and particularly, the coupled-channel effect in the flavor space. According to our calculation, the states $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}[I(J^P)=0(1^+)]$ and $(D^{(*)}D^{(*)})_s[J^P=1^+]$ with double charm, the states $\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}[I(J^P)=0(1^+),0(2^+),1(0^+),1(1^+),1(2^+)]$, $(\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)})_s[J^P=0^+,1^+,2^+]$ and $(\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)})_{ss}[J^P=0^+,1^+,2^+]$ with double bottom, and the states $D^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}[I(J^P)=0(0^+),0(1^+)]$ and $(D^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)})_s[J^P=0^+,1^+]$ with both charm and bottom are good molecule candidates. However, the existence of the states $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}[I(J^P)=0(2^+)]$ with double charm and $D^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}[I(J^P)=1(1^+)]$ with both charm and bottom is ruled out.Comment: 1 figure added, published in Physical Review

Resolutions of ideals of fat points with support in a hyperplane

Our results concern minimal graded free resolutions of fat point ideals for points in a hyperplane. Suppose, for example, that I(m,d) is the ideal defining r given points of multiplicity m in the projective space P^d. Assume that the given points lie in a hyperplane P^{d-1} in P^d, and that the ground field k is algebraically closed of characteristic 0. We give an explicit minimal graded free resolution of I(m,d) in k[P^d] in terms of the minimal graded free resolutions of the ideals I(j,d-1) in k[P^{d-1}] with j < m+1. As a corollary, we give the following formula for the Poincare polynomial P_{m,d} of I(m,d) in terms of the Poincare polynomials P_{j,d-1} of I(j,d-1): P_{m,d} = (1 + XT)(\Sigma_{0<j\le m} T^{m-j}(P_{j,d-1} - 1)) + 1 + XT^m.Comment: 10 pages; to appear in Proc.

Elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at sqrt sNN = 130 GeV

Elliptic flow from nuclear collisions is a hadronic observable sensitive to the early stages of system evolution. We report first results on elliptic flow of charged particles at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN] = 130 GeV using the STAR Time Projection Chamber at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The elliptic flow signal, v2, averaged over transverse momentum, reaches values of about 6% for relatively peripheral collisions and decreases for the more central collisions. This can be interpreted as the observation of a higher degree of thermalization than at lower collision energies. Pseudorapidity and transverse momentum dependence of elliptic flow are also presented.alle Autoren: K. H. Ackermann19, N. Adams28, C. Adler12, Z. Ahammed27, S. Ahmad28, C. Allgower13, J.

Net charge fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN ]=130 GeV

We present the results of charged particle fluctuations measurements in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN ]=130 GeV using the STAR detector. Dynamical fluctuations measurements are presented for inclusive charged particle multiplicities as well as for identified charged pions, kaons, and protons. The net charge dynamical fluctuations are found to be large and negative providing clear evidence that positive and negative charged particle production is correlated within the pseudorapidity range investigated. Correlations are smaller than expected based on model-dependent predictions for a resonance gas or a quark-gluon gas which undergoes fast hadronization and freeze-out. Qualitative agreement is found with comparable scaled p+p measurements and a heavy ion jet interaction generation model calculation based on independent particle collisions, although a small deviation from the 1/N scaling dependence expected from this model is observed.alle Autoren: J.
