Uniformly bounded components of normality
Suppose that is a transcendental entire function and that the Fatou
set . Set and
where the supremum is taken over all components of

uniformly bounded or uniformly bounded respectively. In this article, we will
show that, under some conditions, is (strongly) uniformly bounded.Comment: 17 pages, a revised version, to appear in Mathematical Proceedings

Selmer groups for elliptic curves in Z_l^d-extensions of function fields of characteristic p
Let be a function field of characteristic , \F/F a Galois
extension with Gal(\F/F)\simeq \Z_l^d (for some prime ) and a
non-isotrivial elliptic curve. We study the behaviour of Selmer groups
( any prime) as varies through the subextensions of \F
via appropriate versions of Mazur's Control Theorem. As a consequence we prove
that Sel_E(\F)_r is a cofinitely generated (in some cases cotorsion)
\Z_r[[Gal(\F/F)]]-module.Comment: Final version to appear in Annales de l'Institut Fourie
Linear response conductance and magneto-resistance of ferromagnetic single-electron transistors
The current through ferromagnetic single-electron transistors (SET's) is
considered. Using path integrals the linear response conductance is formulated
as a function of the tunnel conductance vs. quantum conductance and the
temperature vs. Coulomb charging energy. The magneto-resistance of
ferromagnet-normal metal-ferromagnet (F-N-F) SET's is almost independent of the
Coulomb charging energy and is only reduced when the transport dwell time is
longer than the spin-flip relaxation time. In all-ferromagnetic (F-F-F) SET's
with negligible spin-flip relaxation time the magneto-resistance is calculated
analytically at high temperatures and numerically at low temperatures. The
F-F-F magneto-resistance is enhanced by higher order tunneling processes at low
temperatures in the 'off' state when the induced charges vanishes. In contrast,
in the 'on' state near resonance the magneto-resistance ratio is a
non-monotonic function of the inverse temperature.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures. accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
