On the Absence of a Normal Nonabelian Sylow Subgroup
Let be a finite solvable group. We show that does not have a normal
nonabelian Sylow -subgroup when its prime character degree graph
satisfies a technical hypothesis.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Introducing a Practitioner-focused Publication in Exercise Science and Kinesiology
The purpose is to introduce Topics in Exercise and Science Kinesiology (TESK) as an outlet for practical information. We searched available journals in the field to determine practitioner-focused options, we also determined the percentage of presented abstracts at a popular meeting compared to the number of published papers in a leading peer-reviewed scientific journal. Point of application 1: Only 2% of publication options in kinesiology or exercise science have a practitioner focus. Point of application 2: A relatively small number of peer-reviewed conference abstracts (less than 10%) are deemed publication-worthy following journal peer-review. Point of application 3: To be more inclusive, we announce the International Community of Scholars in Kinesiology (ICSK); and to provide students with important information on professional development and trending research, we will host a virtual Student Research Week each year
ERTS-1 views the Great Lakes
The meteorological content of ERTS images, particularly mesoscale effects of the Great Lakes and air pollution dispersion is summarized. Summertime lake breeze frontal clouds and various winter lake-effect convection patterns and snow squalls are revealed in great detail. A clear-cut spiral vortex over southern Lake Michigan is related to a record early snow storm in the Chicago area. Marked cloud changes induced by orographic and frictional effects on Lake Michigan's lee shore snow squalls are seen. The most important finding, however, is a clear-cut example of alterations in cumulus convection by anthropogenic condensation and/or ice nuclei from northern Indiana steel mills during a snow squall situation. Jet aircraft condensation trails are also found with surprising frequency
Maximum stabilizer dimension for nonproduct states
Composite quantum states can be classified by how they behave under local
unitary transformations. Each quantum state has a stabilizer subgroup and a
corresponding Lie algebra, the structure of which is a local unitary invariant.
In this paper, we study the structure of the stabilizer subalgebra for n-qubit
pure states, and find its maximum dimension to be n-1 for nonproduct states of
three qubits and higher. The n-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state has a
stabilizer subalgebra that achieves the maximum possible dimension for pure
nonproduct states. The converse, however, is not true: we show examples of pure
4-qubit states that achieve the maximum nonproduct stabilizer dimension, but
have stabilizer subalgebra structures different from that of the n-qubit GHZ
state.Comment: 6 page
Werner state structure and entanglement classification
We present applications of the representation theory of Lie groups to the
analysis of structure and local unitary classification of Werner states,
sometimes called the {\em decoherence-free} states, which are states of
quantum bits left unchanged by local transformations that are the same on each
particle. We introduce a multiqubit generalization of the singlet state, and a
construction that assembles these into Werner states.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, minor changes and corrections for version
Shot Noise in Gravitational-Wave Detectors with Fabry-Perot Arms
Shot-noise-limited sensitivity is calculated for gravitational-wave interferometers with Fabry–Perot arms, similar to those being installed at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Italian–French Laser Interferometer Collaboration (VIRGO) facility. This calculation includes the effect of nonstationary shot noise that is due to phase modulation of the light. The resulting formula is experimentally verified by a test interferometer with suspended mirrors in the 40-m arms
The dominant mode of standing Alfven waves at synchronous orbit
Low-frequency oscillations of the earth's magnetic field recorded by the UCLA magnetometer on board ATS-1, have been examined for the six-month interval, January-June, 1968. The initial interpretation, that these oscillations represent the second harmonic of a standing Alfven wave, has been re-examined, and it is concluded that this hypothesis must be withdrawn. Using evidence from OGO-5 and ATS-5, as well as the data from ATS-1, it is argued that the dominant mode at the synchronous orbit must be the fundamental rather than the second harmonic. From 14 instances when the oscillations of distinctly different periods occurred during the same time interval at ATS-1 it is concluded that higher harmonics can exist. The period ratio in 7 of the 14 cases corresponds to the simultaneous occurrence of the second harmonic with the fundamental, and 4 other cases could be identified as the simultaneous occurrence of the fourth harmonic with the fundamental
