Hopf algebras of dimension pq, II
Let H be a Hopf algebra of dimension pq over an algebraically closed field of
characteristic zero, where p, q are odd primes with p < q < 4p+12. We prove
that H is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra, or the dual of a
group algebra.Comment: 14pp, Late
About quantum fluctuations and holographic principle in (4+n)-dimensional spacetime
In the article we present explicit expressions for quantum fluctuations of
spacetime in the case of -dimensional spacetimes, and consider their
holographic properties and some implications for clocks, black holes and
computation. We also consider quantum fluctuations and their holographic
properties in ADD model and estimate the typical size and mass of the clock to
be used in precise measurements of spacetime fluctuations. Numerical
estimations of phase incoherence of light from extra-galactic sources in ADD
model are also presented.Comment: 5 page
Academic reflections between Polynesian tattooing and reflective practice
In Polynesian culture stories which may be generations old are told via tattoo art: the Tahitian word âtatuâ or âta-tuâ means to strike something and links directly to the ancient art of tattooing to preserve an ancestral lineage and/or record a particular event or story that has been handed down from generation to generation via the same method (Villequette, 1998). Some scholars such as Gell (1993), and Schrader (2000) and Jones (2000) in Schildkrout (2004), write of tattoos being associated with âsubsidiary selves, spirits, ancestors, rulers and victimsâ that are resident within the tattooed individual, while some write of ethnographic work being inscribed on bodies (Sparkes, 2000, p. 21 and Schildkrout, 2004, p. 322). Auto-ethnographic study (the study of ourselves) is a relatively new field and is often associated with qualitative analysis; as such it has stimulated the author to introduce the term âinternalâ reflection. I believe that this may describe a âpersonalâ or âinternalâ reflection that is transmitted to the outside world in the form of a tattoo. Drawing on the work of Sparkes, an auto-ethnography is a narrative of self, although this research offers tattoos as a viable alternative to narrative and suggests that auto-ethnographic tattoos are not only commonplace but that they can also be very real transcripts of the narrative equivalent. Further, this research shows that different cultures reflect in different ways and that the tattoo is a popular and essential method of ethnographic captur
