Kakucs-Balla-domb. A Case Study in the Absolute and Relative Chronology of the Vatya Culture

The present study hopes to contribute to Middle Bronze Age studies in two specific areas: first, by publishing a new series of radiocarbon dates for a period from which there are few absolute dates, and second, by describing a less known area in the Vatya distribution based on the investigations at Kakucs

The evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8

We present recent results on the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z~0.8. Results are based on the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) - an ESO large programme aimed at the study of cluster structure and cluster galaxy evolution over a significant fraction of cosmic time - and are discussed in the framework of the current standard paradigm of structure formation.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure, to appear in ASP Conference Series (Proceedings of the 1st Subaru International Conference "Panoramic Views of Galaxy Formation and Evolution", held in Japan, 10-15 December 2007

Free Group Representations from Vector-Valued Multiplicative Functions, II

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-commutative free group on finitely many generators. In a previous work two of the authors have constructed the class of multiplicative representations of $\Gamma$ and proved them irreducible as representation of $\Gamma\ltimes_\lambda C(\Omega)$. In this paper we analyze multiplicative representations as representations of $\Gamma$ and we prove a criterium for irreducibility based on the growth of their matrix coefficients
