Neglected Duty: Providing Comprehensive Reparations to the Indonesian "1965 Victims" of State Persecution

As part of the International Centre for Transitional Justice's work in Indonesia, this monograph provides a contextual review of national and international instruments providing comprehensive reparations to victims of state persecution in Indonesia. This paper provides a background to the state persecution of alleged Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) members, sympathsiers and their families, legal instruments and practices used to legitimate persecution, civil society initiatives seeking justice for the victims, actions taken by successive governments since the fall of president Soeharto and critique of the truth commission legislation. The paper also includes a set of recommendations

A conjectural generating function for numbers of curves on surfaces

I give a conjectural generating function for the numbers of $\delta$-nodal curves in a linear system of dimension $\delta$ on an algebraic surface. It reproduces the results of Vainsencher for the case $\delta\le 6$ and Kleiman-Piene for the case $\delta\le 8$. The numbers of curves are expressed in terms of five universal power series, three of which I give explicitly as quasimodular forms. This gives in particular the numbers of curves of arbitrary genus on a K3 surface and an abelian surface in terms of quasimodular forms, generalizing the formula of Yau-Zaslow for rational curves on K3 surfaces. The coefficients of the other two power series can be determined by comparing with the recursive formulas of Caporaso-Harris for the Severi degrees in $\P_2$. We verify the conjecture for genus 2 curves on an abelian surface. We also discuss a link of this problem with Hilbert schemes of points.Comment: amslatex 13 page

Discussion Paper on Key Needs for Agricultural Water Management Research and Training in the Developing Countries

Paper prepared by Ellis L. Hatt and W. David Hopper of the International Development Research Centre on unfavorable water conditions as a key constraint to the introduction of new agricultural technologies. The authors find the current water management problems confronting the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia are well within the ability of current civil engineering principles and techniques to solve. The critical need is for greatly enhanced capability to coordinate the application, to field problems, of available technology and expertise.

On the Twisted N=2N=2 Superconformal Structure in 2d2d Gravity Coupled to Matter

It is shown that the two dimensional gravity, described either in the conformal gauge (the Liouville theory) or in the light cone gauge, when coupled to matter possesses an infinite number of twisted $N=2$ superconformal symmetries. The central charges of the $N=2$ algebra for the two gauge choices are in general different. Further, it is argued that the physical states in the light cone gauge theory can be obtained from the Liouville theory by a field redefinition.Comment: Plain Tex, 13 pages, IC/93/81, UG-3/9
