Transitive and Co-Transitive Caps
A cap in PG(r,q) is a set of points, no three of which are collinear. A cap
is said to be transitive if its automorphism group in PGammaL(r+1,q) acts
transtively on the cap, and co-transitive if the automorphism group acts
transtively on the cap's complement in PG(r,q). Transitive, co-transitive caps
are characterized as being one of: an elliptic quadric in PG(3,q); a
Suzuki-Tits ovoid in PG(3,q); a hyperoval in PG(2,4); a cap of size 11 in
PG(4,3); the complement of a hyperplane in PG(r,2); or a union of Singer orbits
in PG(r,q) whose automorphism group comes from a subgroup of GammaL(1,q^{r+1}).Comment: To appear in The Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society - Simon

Measurement of hurricane winds and waves with a synthetic aperture radar
An analysis of data collected in a hurricane research program is presented. The data were collected with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) during five aircraft flights in the Atlantic in August and September, 1976. Work was conducted in two areas. The first is an analysis of the L-band SAR data in a scatterometer mode to determine the surface windspeeds in hurricanes, in a similar manner to that done by an X-band scatterometer. The second area was to use the SAR to examine the wave patterns in hurricanes. The wave patterns in all of the storms are similar and show a marked radial asymmetry

The limiting blocks of the Brauer algebra in characteristic p
Brauer algebras form a tower of cellular algebras. There is a well-defined notion of limiting blocks for these algebras. In this paper we give a complete description of these limiting blocks over any field of positive characteristic. We also prove the existence of a class of homomorphisms between cell modules
Entropy reduction of quantum measurements
It is observed that the entropy reduction (the information gain in the
initial terminology) of an efficient (ideal or pure) quantum measurement
coincides with the generalized quantum mutual information of a q-c channel
mapping an a priori state to the corresponding posteriori probability
distribution of the outcomes of the measurement. This observation makes it
possible to define the entropy reduction for arbitrary a priori states (not
only for states with finite von Neumann entropy) and to study its analytical
properties by using general properties of the quantum mutual information.
By using this approach one can show that the entropy reduction of an
efficient quantum measurement is a nonnegative lower semicontinuous concave
function on the set of all a priori states having continuous restrictions to
subsets on which the von Neumann entropy is continuous. Monotonicity and
subadditivity of the entropy reduction are also easily proved by this method.
A simple continuity condition for the entropy reduction and for the mean
posteriori entropy considered as functions of a pair (a priori state,
measurement) is obtained.
A characterization of an irreducible measurement (in the Ozawa sense) which
is not efficient is considered in the Appendix.Comment: 21 pages, minor corrections have been mad
