Large-time Behavior of Solutions to the Inflow Problem of Full Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations

Large-time behavior of solutions to the inflow problem of full compressible Navier-Stokes equations is investigated on the half line $R^+ =(0,+\infty)$. The wave structure which contains four waves: the transonic(or degenerate) boundary layer solution, 1-rarefaction wave, viscous 2-contact wave and 3-rarefaction wave to the inflow problem is described and the asymptotic stability of the superposition of the above four wave patterns to the inflow problem of full compressible Navier-Stokes equations is proven under some smallness conditions. The proof is given by the elementary energy analysis based on the underlying wave structure. The main points in the proof are the degeneracies of the transonic boundary layer solution and the wave interactions in the superposition wave.Comment: 27 page

About multiplicities and applications to Bezout numbers

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ denote a local Noetherian ring and $\mathfrak{q}$ an ideal such that $\ell_A(M/\mathfrak{q}M) < \infty$ for a finitely generated $A$-module $M$. Let \au = a_1,\ldots,a_d denote a system of parameters of $M$ such that $a_i \in \mathfrak{q}^{c_i} \setminus \mathfrak{q}^{c_i+1}$ for $i=1,\ldots,d$. It follows that \chi := e_0(\au;M) - c \cdot e_0(\mathfrak{q};M) \geq 0, where $c = c_1\cdot \ldots \cdot c_d$. The main results of the report are a discussion when $\chi = 0$ resp. to describe the value of $\chi$ in some particular cases. Applications concern results on the multiplicity e_0(\au;M) and applications to Bezout numbers.Comment: 11 pages, to appear Springer INdAM-Series, Vol. 20 (2017

On p-adic lattices and Grassmannians

It is well-known that the coset spaces G(k((z)))/G(k[[z]]), for a reductive group G over a field k, carry the geometric structure of an inductive limit of projective k-schemes. This k-ind-scheme is known as the affine Grassmannian for G. From the point of view of number theory it would be interesting to obtain an analogous geometric interpretation of quotients of the form G(W(k)[1/p])/G(W(k)), where p is a rational prime, W denotes the ring scheme of p-typical Witt vectors, k is a perfect field of characteristic p and G is a reductive group scheme over W(k). The present paper is an attempt to describe which constructions carry over from the function field case to the p-adic case, more precisely to the situation of the p-adic affine Grassmannian for the special linear group G=SL_n. We start with a description of the R-valued points of the p-adic affine Grassmannian for SL_n in terms of lattices over W(R), where R is a perfect k-algebra. In order to obtain a link with geometry we further construct projective k-subvarieties of the multigraded Hilbert scheme which map equivariantly to the p-adic affine Grassmannian. The images of these morphisms play the role of Schubert varieties in the p-adic setting. Further, for any reduced k-algebra R these morphisms induce bijective maps between the sets of R-valued points of the respective open orbits in the multigraded Hilbert scheme and the corresponding Schubert cells of the p-adic affine Grassmannian for SL_n.Comment: 36 pages.

Quantization on Curves

Deformation quantization on varieties with singularities offers perspectives that are not found on manifolds. Essential deformations are classified by the Harrison component of Hochschild cohomology, that vanishes on smooth manifolds and reflects information about singularities. The Harrison 2-cochains are symmetric and are interpreted in terms of abelian $*$-products. This paper begins a study of abelian quantization on plane curves over \Crm, being algebraic varieties of the form R2/I where I is a polynomial in two variables; that is, abelian deformations of the coordinate algebra C[x,y]/(I). To understand the connection between the singularities of a variety and cohomology we determine the algebraic Hochschild (co-)homology and its Barr-Gerstenhaber-Schack decomposition. Homology is the same for all plane curves C[x,y]/(I), but the cohomology depends on the local algebra of the singularity of I at the origin.Comment: 21 pages, LaTex format.

Mobility gap in intermediate valent TmSe

The infrared optical conductivity of intermediate valence compound TmSe reveals clear signatures for hybridization of light $d$- and heavy f-electronic states with m* ~ 1.6 m_0 and m* ~ 16 m_0, respectively. At moderate and high temperatures, the metal-like character of the heavy carriers dominate the low-frequency response while at low temperatures (T_N < T < 100 K) a gap-like feature is observed in the conductivity spectra below 10 meV which is assigned to be a mobility gap due to localization of electrons on local Kondo singlets, rather than a hybridization gap in the density of states

Silicon Photo-Multiplier radiation hardness tests with a beam controlled neutron source

We report radiation hardness tests performed at the Frascati Neutron Generator on silicon Photo-Multipliers, semiconductor photon detectors built from a square matrix of avalanche photo-diodes on a silicon substrate. Several samples from different manufacturers have been irradiated integrating up to 7x10^10 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons per cm^2. Detector performances have been recorded during the neutron irradiation and a gradual deterioration of their properties was found to happen already after an integrated fluence of the order of 10^8 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons per cm^2.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, Submitted to Nucl.
