Several variable p-adic families of Siegel-Hilbert cusp eigensystems and their Galois representations
Let F be a totally real field and G=GSp(4)_{/F}. In this paper, we show under
a weak assumption that, given a Hecke eigensystem lambda which is
(p,P)-ordinary for a fixed parabolic P in G, there exists a several variable
p-adic family underline{lambda} of Hecke eigensystems (all of them (p,P)-nearly
ordinary) which contains lambda. The assumption is that lambda is cohomological
for a regular coefficient system. If F=Q, the number of variables is three.
Moreover, in this case, we construct the three variable p-adic family
rho_{underline{lambda}} of Galois representations associated to
underline{lambda}. Finally, under geometric assumptions (which would be
satisfied if one proved that the Galois representations in the family come from
Grothendieck motives), we show that rho_{underline{lambda}} is nearly ordinary
for the dual parabolic of P. This text is an updated version of our first
preprint (issued in the "Prepublication de l'universite Paris-Nord") and will
appear in the "Annales Scientifiques de l' E N S"
Reduced-order 4D-Var: a preconditioner for the Incremental 4D-Var data assimilation method
This study demonstrates how the incremental 4D-Var data assimilation method
can be applied efficiently preconditione d in an application to an
oceanographic problem. The approach consists in performing a few iterations of
the reduced-order 4D-Var prior to the incremental 4D-Var in the full space in
order to achieve faster convergence. An application performed in the tropical
Pacific Ocean, with assimilation of TAO temperature data, shows the method to
be both feasible and efficient. It allows the global cost of the assimilation
to be reduced by a factor of 2 without affecting the quality of the solution
Hybrid (bolted/bonded) joints applied to aeronautic parts : analytical one-dimensional models of a single-lap joint
The load transfer in hybrid (bolted/bonded) single-lap joint is complex due to the association of two different transfer modes (discrete and continuous) through elements with different stiffness. Analytical methods exist for these two different modes, when considered separately. In this paper two one-dimensional elastic analytical models are presented for the determination of the load transfer in single lap configuration. The first one is developed by using the integration of the local equilibrium equations. From this first method an elastic-plastic approach is presented. The second one uses the Finite Element Method, introducing a new element called “bonded-bar”. These models are robust, easy to use and provide the same results. They allow to analyze the load transfer and to evaluate different geometric and mechanical parameters’ influence. Thus they represent the first step for the design of a hybrid joint able to replace its bolted equivalent used on aircraft
Comparison of reduced-order, sequential and variational data assimilation methods in the tropical Pacific Ocean
This paper presents a comparison of two reduced-order, sequential and
variational data assimilation methods: the SEEK filter and the R-4D-Var. A
hybridization of the two, combining the variational framework and the
sequential evolution of covariance matrices, is also preliminarily investigated
and assessed in the same experimental conditions. The comparison is performed
using the twin-experiment approach on a model of the Tropical Pacific domain.
The assimilated data are simulated temperature profiles at the locations of the
TAO/TRITON array moorings. It is shown that, in a quasi-linear regime, both
methods produce similarly good results. However the hybrid approach provides
slightly better results and thus appears as potentially fruitful. In a more
non-linear regime, when Tropical Instability Waves develop, the global nature
of the variational approach helps control model dynamics better than the
sequential approach of the SEEK filter. This aspect is probably enhanced by the
context of the experiments in that there is a limited amount of assimilated
data and no model error
The Distribution of Earnings under Monopsonistic/polistic Competition
Recent empirical contributions in labor economics suggest that individual firms face upward sloping labor supplies. We rationalize this by assuming that idiosyncratic non-pecuniary conditions interact with money wages in workers’ decisions to work for specific firms. Likewise, firms supply differentiated goods in response to differences in consumer tastes. Hence, firms are price-makers and wage-setters. By combining monopolistic and monopsonistic competition, our setting encapsulates general equilibrium interactions between the two markets. The equilibrium involves double exploitation of labor. Compared to the competitive outcome, the high-productive workers are overpaid under free entry, whereas the low-productive workers are underpaid. In the same vein, capital-owners receive a premium, whereas workers are exploited.wage dispersion, worker heterogeneity, monopsonistic competition, monopolistic competition, labor exploitation
