EXPERIENCE OF REMOTE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CLUSTER POLICY IN REGIONAL AND SECTORAL ASPECTS

The article is written based on research in the framework of the Presidium of theRussianAcademyof Sciences' «Forecast Technological Development of Russia in view of new global integration processes, technological, economic and institutional aspects». The aim of the study was to develop and test a sociological tools remote monitoring implementation of cluster policy. The work was conducted by the authors in three stages: 1. Development of a methodology for analyzing and methods of remote sensing of primary information (2012); 2. Analiz source database on 83 regions of the country and on the oil and gas industry (2013); 3. Proverka fi ndings and conclusions based on the online survey of experts (2014). The paper presents the main results of this work at each stage of this work and concludes the possibility of using this methodology is not only scientifi c, but also for practical purposes

Целью исследования была разработка и апробирование социологического инструментария дистанционного контроля осуществления кластерной политики. Работа проводилась авторами в три этапа: 1. Разработка методологии анализа и методики дистанционного сбора первичной информации (2012); 2. Анализ исходной базы данных по 83 регионам страны и по нефтегазовой отрасли (2013); 3. Проверка полученных данных и выводов на основе онлайн опроса экспертов (2014). В статье представлены основные результаты этой работы по каждому этапу этой работы и делается вывод о возможности использования данной методологии не только в научных, но и в практических целях

Automorphism groups of polycyclic-by-finite groups and arithmetic groups

We show that the outer automorphism group of a polycyclic-by-finite group is an arithmetic group. This result follows from a detailed structural analysis of the automorphism groups of such groups. We use an extended version of the theory of the algebraic hull functor initiated by Mostow. We thus make applicable refined methods from the theory of algebraic and arithmetic groups. We also construct examples of polycyclic-by-finite groups which have an automorphism group which does not contain an arithmetic group of finite index. Finally we discuss applications of our results to the groups of homotopy self-equivalences of K(\Gamma, 1)-spaces and obtain an extension of arithmeticity results of Sullivan in rational homotopy theory

Propagation of Long-Wavelength Nonlinear Slow Sausage Waves in Stratified Magnetic Flux Tubes

The propagation of nonlinear, long-wavelength, slow sausage waves in an expanding magnetic flux tube, embedded in a non-magnetic stratified environment, is discussed. The governing equation for surface waves, which is akin to the Leibovich–Roberts equation, is derived using the method of multiple scales. The solitary wave solution of the equation is obtained numerically. The results obtained are illustrative of a solitary wave whose properties are highly dependent on the degree of stratification
