A dynamical characterization of acylindrically hyperbolic groups
We give a dynamical characterization of acylindrically hyperbolic groups. As
an application, we prove that non-elementary convergence groups are
acylindrically hyperbolic
Cohomology of group theoretic Dehn fillings I: Cohen-Lyndon type theorems
This is the first paper of three papers in a row aiming to study cohomology
of group theoretic Dehn fillings. In the present paper, we prove a particular
free product structure, which is termed the Cohen-Lyndon property, of Dehn
filling kernels. As an application, we describe the structure of relative
relation modules of Dehn fillings.Comment: 30 pages, 5 figure
Note on DBI dynamics of Dbrane Near NS5-branes
In this note, we investigate the homogeneous radial dynamics of (Dp,
NS5)-systems without and with one compactified transverse direction, in the
framework of DBI effective action. During the homogeneous evolution, the
electric field on the D-brane is always conserved and the radial motion could
be reduced to an one-dimension dynamical system with an effective potential.
When the Dp-brane energy is not high, the brane moves in a restricted region,
with the orbits depending on the conserved energy, angular momentum through the
form of the effective potential. When the Dp-brane energy is high enough, it
can escape to the infinity. It turns out that the conserved angular momentum
plays an interesting role in the dynamics. Moreover, we discuss the gauge
dynamics around the tachyon vacuum and find that the dynamics is very
reminiscent of the string fluid in the rolling tachyon case.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures; typos corrected, discussions improved; gauge

Assessing Time-Varying Oligopoly and Oligopsony Power in the U.S. Paper Industry
The U.S. paper industry has become increasingly concentrated and therefore been suspected of imperfect competition. In this study, the new empirical industrial organization approach is employed to measure the degree of oligopoly and oligopsony power in the U.S. paper industry simultaneously. The model is estimated by iterative three-stage least squares using annual data from 1955 to 2003. The results reveal that there has been significant oligopoly and oligopsony power in the U.S. paper industry, and the oligopoly power has been consistently lower than the oligopsony power.market power, NEIO, three-stage least squares, time-varying parameters, Agribusiness, Environmental Economics and Policy, Land Economics/Use, Production Economics, L13, Q23,
