Geometric local epsilon factors

Inspired by the work of Laumon on $\varepsilon$-factors and by Deligne's $1974$ letter to Serre, we give an explicit cohomological definition of $\varepsilon$-factors for $\ell$-adic Galois representations over henselian discrete valuation fields of positive equicharacteristic $p \neq \ell$, with (not necessarily finite) perfect residue fields. These geometric local $\varepsilon$-factors are completely characterized by an explicit list of purely local properties, such as an induction formula and the compatibility with geometric class field theory in rank $1$, and satisfy a product formula for $\ell$-adic sheaves on a curve over a perfect field of characteristic $p$.Comment: 92 page

Orthogonal polynomial expansions for the Riemann xi function

We study infinite series expansions for the Riemann xi function $\Xi(t)$ in three specific families of orthogonal polynomials: (1) the Hermite polynomials; (2) the symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials $P_n^{(3/4)}(x;\pi/2)$; and (3) the continuous Hahn polynomials $p_n\left(x; \frac34,\frac34,\frac34,\frac34\right)$. The first expansion was discussed in earlier work by Tur\'an, and the other two expansions are new. For each of the three expansions, we derive formulas for the coefficients, show that they appear with alternating signs, derive formulas for their asymptotic behavior, and derive additional interesting properties and relationships. We also apply some of the same techniques to prove a new asymptotic formula for the Taylor coefficients of the Riemann xi function. Our results continue and expand the program of research initiated in the 1950s by Tur\'an, who proposed using the Hermite expansion of the Riemann xi function as a tool to gain insight into the location of the Riemann zeta zeros. We also uncover a connection between Tur\'an's ideas and the separate program of research involving the so-called De Bruijn-Newman constant. Most significantly, the phenomena associated with the new expansions in the Meixner-Pollaczek and continuous Hahn polynomial families suggest that those expansions may be even more natural tools than the Hermite expansion for approaching the Riemann hypothesis and related questions.Comment: Changes from previous version: typo corrections, added references and other minor improvements to Chapter 4, formattin

Teacher’s Appropriate Humor and Its Impacts on English Classroom Environment at English Course

This research investigates teacher’s humor as a communication strategy in terms of interaction between the teacher and the students in teaching and learning process at Makassar English Course. The aims of the study are (1) to find out the types of humor that are appropriate in English course and (2) to find out the impacts of teacher’s humor at English course. This research consisted of one teacher that was observed and eight students that were interviewed as the subject of the research. Five meetings of classroom interactions were observed and an video-recorder was used by the researcher. The recordings were transcribed and analyzed by making use of related the types of humor are used by the teacher and the impacts of teacher’s humor gained from students’ perspective at Makassar English course. Findings show that there are some types of humors that are appropriate to be used by the teacher namely related humor, unrelated humor, self-disparaging, and unplanned humor. Furthermore, the finding also showed that the teacher who used humor makes the students easy to getting the knowledge, reduced tension, made students more comfortable in teaching learning process, created good interactions, created more enthusiastic teaching learning process, encouraged students’ attendance, and reduced the number of students who felt sleepy in the class. Keywords: EFL teacher, appropriate humor, impact of humors, English cours

Impacto de la Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH) en la actividad laboral de las madres con hijos beneficiarios de Maipú, Mendoza

La consolidación del modelo fordista, entre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y mediados de los ´70, configuró a nivel mundial y regional -con diferencias- un Estado proteccionista bajo el cual se desplegó la sociedad salarial, en el marco de economías que crecieron a buen ritmo, con estructuras productivas preeminentemente industriales. En los ´70 el fordismo fue cuestionado, iniciándose así una etapa de reformas signada por el neoliberalismo que deshizo parte de la orientación pasada, partiendo de una simplificación de la cuestión social que dejó de lado la consideración global del sistema por un enfoque centrado en el segmento más vulnerable de la población (Belmartino, Levín y Repetto, 2001). Ante el marcado deterioro en las condiciones de vida de la población latinoamericana, en los años ´90 se efectuó un importante llamado a que los países reforzasen sus sistemas de Protección Social y en particular su componente no contributivo mediante los Programas de Transferencia Condicionada de Ingresos (PTCI). Como un emergente de este proceso, en 2009 se implementó en nuestro país la política de Asignación Universal por Hijo para la Protección Social (AUH), sobre la cual se enfoca este trabajo trabajo. Habiéndose cumplido cinco años de su implementación es conveniente llevar adelante un estudio capaz de brindar información sobre el impacto de la medida en la actividad laboral de las mujeres (titulares) cuyos hijos son beneficiarios de la AUH y residen en la zona Este del Departamento de Maipú, Mendoza, dado que si bien la producción teórica a nivel nacional sobre la temática es amplia, se carece de estudios rigurosos que contemplen las particularidades de cada localidad.

Diplomatic Metonymy and Antithesis in 3 Henry VI

This essay takes as its starting point the resemblance between the historical practice of diplomatic representation and the rhetorical practice of metonymy. The early modern ambassador acted as a substitute abroad for the sovereign who sent him and metonymy describes a comparable replacement – in words – of one thing by another associated thing. Yet metonyms can all too easily become confused with their referents or even come to replace them, as the sign is taken too literally for its signified, creating a kind of rivalry between representative and represented, as competing sources of authority, in a shift from relations of likeness to opposition. As 3 Henry VI points out – and as this essay argues – the metonymic characteristics of early modern ambassadorial representation made it vulnerable to this drift towards antithesis. Antithesis, the figure of opposition, governs the contentious disorder of 3 Henry VI, from the rhetorical patterning of its speeches to its structure and subject matter and politics. The Earl of Warwick’s embassy in Act 3 is no exception: it is the pivotal point around which the play’s oppositions turn. As Warwick moves from representing to replacing Edward IV, the figures that express his migration from substitution to subversion reflect on a comparable instability in European diplomatic culture. Diplomats could easily misrepresent.I would like to thank Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, St John’s College, Cambridge and the Arts Humanities Research Council for enabling me to undertake this researchThis is the advanced access article published online distributed under a CC BY license, which can also be found on the publisher's website at: http://res.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/06/19/res.hgu043.full.pdf+htm

Academic Performance of New Jersey's Public Schools

Data from the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress are used to compare the performance of New Jersey public school children with those from other participating states. The comparisons are made with the raw means scores and after standardizing all state scores to a common (National U.S.) demographic mixture. It is argued that for most plausible questions about the performance of public schools the standardized scores are more useful. Also, it is shown that if New Jersey is viewed as an independent nation, its students finished sixth among all the nations participating in the 1991 International Mathematics Assessment
