Linear and multiplicative 2-forms
We study the relationship between multiplicative 2-forms on Lie groupoids and
linear 2-forms on Lie algebroids, which leads to a new approach to the
infinitesimal description of multiplicative 2-forms and to the integration of
twisted Dirac manifolds.Comment: to appear in Letters in Mathematical Physic
Follow-up after treatment for head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. In the absence of high-level evidence base for follow-up practices, the duration and frequency are often at the discretion of local centres. By reviewing the existing literature and collating experience from varying practices across the UK, this paper provides recommendations on the work up and management of lateral skull base cancer based on the existing evidence base for this rare condition
Electromagnetic Response of a Superconductor: Effect of Order Parameter Collective Modes
Effects of order parameter collective modes on electromagnetic response are
studied for a clean spin-triplet superconductor with orbital
symmetry, which has been proposed as a candidate pairing symmetry for
SrRuO. It is shown that the superconductor has
characteristic massive collective modes analogous to the clapping mode in the
A-phase of superfluid He. We discuss the contribution from the collective
modes to ultrasound attenuation and electromagnetic absorption. We show that in
the electromagnetic absorption spectrum the clapping mode gives rise to a
resonance peak well below the pair breaking frequency, while the ultrasound
attenuation is hardly influenced by the collective excitations.Comment: 4 pages RevTex, 1 eps figur
A multifractal zeta function for cookie cutter sets
Starting with the work of Lapidus and van Frankenhuysen a number of papers
have introduced zeta functions as a way of capturing multifractal information.
In this paper we propose a new multifractal zeta function and show that under
certain conditions the abscissa of convergence yields the Hausdorff
multifractal spectrum for a class of measures
Jacobi structures revisited
Jacobi algebroids, that is graded Lie brackets on the Grassmann algebra
associated with a vector bundle which satisfy a property similar to that of the
Jacobi brackets, are introduced. They turn out to be equivalent to generalized
Lie algebroids in the sense of Iglesias and Marrero and can be viewed also as
odd Jacobi brackets on the supermanifolds associated with the vector bundles.
Jacobi bialgebroids are defined in the same manner. A lifting procedure of
elements of this Grassmann algebra to multivector fields on the total space of
the vector bundle which preserves the corresponding brackets is developed. This
gives the possibility of associating canonically a Lie algebroid with any local
Lie algebra in the sense of Kirillov.Comment: 20 page
Cyclotron Resonance in the Layered Perovskite Superconductor Sr2RuO4
We have measured the cyclotron masses in Sr2RuO4 through the observation of
periodic-orbit-resonances - a magnetic resonance technique closely related to
cyclotron resonance. We obtain values for the alpha, beta and gamma Fermi
surfaces of (4.33+/-0.05)me, (5.81+/-0.03)me and (9.71+/-0.11)me respectively.
The appreciable differences between these results and those obtained from de
Haas- van Alphen measurements are attributable to strong electron-electron
interactions in this system. Our findings appear to be consistent with
predictions for a strongly interacting Fermi liquid; indeed, semi-quantitative
agreement is obtained for the electron pockets beta and gamma.Comment: 4 pages + 3 figure
Cohomology of skew-holomorphic Lie algebroids
We introduce the notion of skew-holomorphic Lie algebroid on a complex
manifold, and explore some cohomologies theories that one can associate to it.
Examples are given in terms of holomorphic Poisson structures of various sorts.Comment: 16 pages. v2: Final version to be published in Theor. Math. Phys.

Classical field theory on Lie algebroids: Variational aspects
The variational formalism for classical field theories is extended to the
setting of Lie algebroids. Given a Lagrangian function we study the problem of
finding critical points of the action functional when we restrict the fields to
be morphisms of Lie algebroids. In addition to the standard case, our formalism
includes as particular examples the case of systems with symmetry (covariant
Euler-Poincare and Lagrange Poincare cases), Sigma models or Chern-Simons
theories.Comment: Talk deliverd at the 9th International Conference on Differential

The cultural capitalists: notes on the ongoing reconfiguration of trafficking culture in Asia
Most analysis of the international flows of the illicit art market has described a global situation in which a postcolonial legacy of acquisition and collection exploits cultural heritage by pulling it westwards towards major international trade nodes in the USA and Europe. As the locus of consumptive global economic power shifts, however, these traditional flows are pulled in other directions: notably for the present commentary, towards and within Asia
