Exotic Bialgebra S03: Representations, Baxterisation and Applications
The exotic bialgebra S03, defined by a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation,
which is not a deformation of the trivial, is considered. Its FRT dual algebra
is studied. The Baxterisation of the dual algebra is given in two
different parametrisations. The finite-dimensional representations of
are considered. Diagonalisations of the braid matrices are used to yield
remarkable insights concerning representations of the L-algebra and to
formulate the fusion of finite-dimensional representations. Possible
applications are considered, in particular, an exotic eight-vertex model and an
integrable spin-chain model.Comment: 24 pages, Latex; V2: revised subsection 4.1, added 9 references, to

Intranight variability of 3C 454.3 during its 2010 November outburst
Context. 3C 454.3 is a very active flat spectrum radio quasar (blazar) that
has undergone a recent outburst in all observed bands, including the optical.
Aims. In this work we explore the short-term optical variability of 3C 454.3
during its outburst by searching for time delays between different optical
bands. Finding one would be important for understanding the evolution of the
spectrum of the relativistic electrons, which generate the synchrotron jet
emission.
Methods. We performed photometric monitoring of the object by repeating
exposures in different optical bands (BVRI). Occasionally, different telescopes
were used to monitor the object in the same band to verify the reliability of
the smallest variations we observed.
Results. Except on one occasion, where we found indications of a lag of the
blue wavelengths behind the red ones, the results are inconclusive for most of
the other cases. There were either no structures in the light curves to be able
to search for patterns, or else different approaches led to different
conclusions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in A&
On a "New" Deformation of GL(2)
We refute a recent claim in the literature of a "new" quantum deformation of
GL(2).Comment: 4 pages, LATE
Nature of Intra-night Optical Variability of BL Lacertae
We present the results of extensive multi-band intra-night optical monitoring
of BL Lacertae during 2010--2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period
and showed intense variability in almost all wavelengths. We extensively
observed it for a total for 38 nights; on 26 of them observations were done
quasi-simultaneously in B, V, R and I bands (totaling 113 light curves), with
an average sampling interval of around 8 minutes. BL Lacertae showed
significant variations on hour-like timescales in a total of 19 nights in
different optical bands. We did not find any evidence for periodicities or
characteristic variability time-scales in the light curves.
The intranight variability amplitude is generally greater at higher
frequencies and decreases as the source flux increases.
We found spectral variations in BL Lacertae in the sense that the optical
spectrum becomes flatter as the flux increases but in several flaring states
deviates from the linear trend suggesting different jet components contributing
to the emission at different times.Comment: 12 Pages, 5 figures, 3 Tables, Accepted for Publication in MNRA
Duality and Representations for New Exotic Bialgebras
We find the exotic matrix bialgebras which correspond to the two
non-triangular nonsingular 4x4 R-matrices in the classification of Hietarinta,
namely, R_{S0,3} and R_{S1,4}. We find two new exotic bialgebras S03 and S14
which are not deformations of the of the classical algebras of functions on
GL(2) or GL(1|1). With this we finalize the classification of the matrix
bialgebras which unital associative algebras generated by four elements. We
also find the corresponding dual bialgebras of these new exotic bialgebras and
study their representation theory in detail. We also discuss in detail a
special case of R_{S1,4} in which the corresponding algebra turns out to be a
special case of the two-parameter quantum group deformation GL_{p,q}(2).Comment: 33 pages, LaTeX2e, using packages: cite,amsfonts,amsmath,subeqn;

About H-models Of Noninertial System
In this paper we consider the problem of modeling noninertial processes with stochastic dependence between the input variables. Such processes are called H-processes ("tubular" structure processes). A new class of parametric identification algorithms with the indicator function of multidimensional static objects is suggested to use. The results of some computational experiments are presented
