On perturbations of the isometric semigroup of shifts on the semiaxis
We study perturbations of the semigroup of shifts
on with the property that belongs to a certain Schatten-von Neumann class \gS_p with .
We show that, for the unitary component in the Wold-Kolmogorov decomposition of
the cogenerator of the semigroup , {\it any singular}
spectral type may be achieved by \gS_1 perturbations. We provide an explicit
construction for a perturbation with a given spectral type based on the theory
of model spaces of the Hardy space . Also we show that we may obtain {\it
any} prescribed spectral type for the unitary component of the perturbed
semigroup by a perturbation from the class \gS_p with

Biomass burning and pollution aerosol over North America: Organic components and their influence on spectral optical properties and humidification response
Thermal analysis of aerosol size distributions provided size resolved volatility up to temperatures of 400°C during extensive flights over North America (NA) for the INTEX/ICARTT experiment in summer 2004. Biomass burning and pollution plumes identified from trace gas measurements were evaluated for their aerosol physiochemical and optical signatures. Measurements of soluble ionic mass and refractory black carbon (BC) mass, inferred from light absorption, were combined with volatility to identify organic carbon at 400°C (VolatileOC) and the residual or refractory organic carbon, RefractoryOC. This approach characterized distinct constituent mass fractions present in biomass burning and pollution plumes every 5–10 min. Biomass burning, pollution and dust aerosol could be stratified by their combined spectral scattering and absorption properties. The “nonplume” regional aerosol exhibited properties dominated by pollution characteristics near the surface and biomass burning aloft. VolatileOC included most water-soluble organic carbon. RefractoryOC dominated enhanced shortwave absorption in plumes from Alaskan and Canadian forest fires. The mass absorption efficiency of this RefractoryOC was about 0.63 m2 g−1 at 470 nm and 0.09 m2 g−1 at 530 nm. Concurrent measurements of the humidity dependence of scattering, γ, revealed the OC component to be only weakly hygroscopic resulting in a general decrease in γ with increasing OC mass fractions. Under ambient humidity conditions, the systematic relations between physiochemical properties and γ lead to a well-constrained dependency on the absorption per unit dry mass for these plume types that may be used to challenge remotely sensed and modeled optical properties
Combining airborne gas and aerosol measurements with HYSPLIT: a visualization tool for simultaneous evaluation of air mass history and back trajectory consistency
The history of air masses is often investigated using backward trajectories
to gain knowledge about processes along the air parcel path as well as
possible source regions. Here, we describe a refined approach that
incorporates airborne gas, aerosol, and environmental data into back
trajectories and show how this technique allows for simultaneous evaluation
of air mass history and back trajectory reliability without the need to
calculate trajectory errors.
<br><br>
We use the HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT)
model and add a simple semi-automated computing routine to facilitate
high-frequency coverage of back trajectories initiated along free
tropospheric (FT) flight tracks and profiles every 10 s. We integrate our in
situ physiochemical data by color-coding each of these trajectories with its
corresponding in situ tracer values measured at the back trajectory start
points along the flight path. The unique color for each trajectory aids
assessment of trajectory reliability through the visual clustering of air
mass pathways of similar coloration.
Moreover, marked changes in trajectories associated with marked changes evident
in measured physiochemical or thermodynamic properties of an air mass add credence
to trajectories. This is particularly true when these air mass properties are
linked to trajectory features characteristic of recognized sources or processes.
This visual clustering of air mass pathways is of particular value for large-scale 3-D flight tracks
common to aircraft experiments where air mass features of interest are often
spatially distributed and temporally separated.
<br><br>
The cluster-visualization tool used here reveals that most FT back
trajectories with pollution signatures measured in the central equatorial
Pacific reach back to sources on the South American continent over
10 000 km away and 12 days back in time, e.g., the Amazonian basin. We also
demonstrate the distinctions in air mass properties between these and
trajectories that penetrate deep convection in the Inter-Tropical Convergence
Zone. Additionally, for the first time we show consistency of modeled
precipitation along back trajectories with scavenging signatures in the
aerosol measured for these trajectories
Effects of turbulent mixing on critical behaviour in the presence of compressibility: Renormalization group analysis of two models
Critical behaviour of two systems, subjected to the turbulent mixing, is
studied by means of the field theoretic renormalization group. The first
system, described by the equilibrium model A, corresponds to relaxational
dynamics of a non-conserved order parameter. The second one is the strongly
non-equilibrium reaction-diffusion system, known as Gribov process and
equivalent to the Reggeon field theory. The turbulent mixing is modelled by the
Kazantsev-Kraichnan "rapid-change" ensemble: time-decorrelated Gaussian
velocity field with the power-like spectrum k^{-d-\xi}. Effects of
compressibility of the fluid are studied. It is shown that, depending on the
relation between the exponent \xi and the spatial dimension d, the both systems
exhibit four different types of critical behaviour, associated with four
possible fixed points of the renormalization group equations. The most
interesting point corresponds to a new type of critical behaviour, in which the
nonlinearity and turbulent mixing are both relevant, and the critical exponents
depend on d, \xi and the degree of compressibility. For the both models,
compressibility enhances the role of the nonlinear terms in the dynamical
equations: the region in the d-\xi plane, where the new nontrivial regime is
stable, is getting much wider as the degree of compressibility increases. In
its turn, turbulent transfer becomes more efficient due to combined effects of
the mixing and the nonlinear terms.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure
Topological A-Type Models with Flux
We study deformations of the A-model in the presence of fluxes, by which we
mean rank-three tensors with antisymmetrized upper/lower indices, using the
AKSZ construction. Generically these are topological membrane models, and we
show that the fluxes are related to deformations of the Courant bracket which
generalize the twist by a closed 3-from , in the sense that satisfying the
AKSZ master equation implies the integrability conditions for an almost
generalized complex structure with respect to the deformed Courant bracket. In
addition, the master equation imposes conditions on the fluxes that generalize
. The membrane model can be defined on a large class of - and -structure manifolds, including geometries inspired by
supersymmetric -models with additional supersymmetries due to almost
complex (but not necessarily complex) structures in the target space.
Furthermore, we show that the model can be defined on three particular
half-flat manifolds related to the Iwasawa manifold.
When only -flux is turned on it is possible to obtain a topological string
model, which we do for the case of a Calabi-Yau with a closed 3-form turned on.
The simplest deformation from the A-model is due to the
component of a non-trivial -field. The model is generically no longer
evaluated on holomorphic maps and defines new topological invariants.
Deformations due to -flux can be more radical, completely preventing
auxiliary fields from being integrated out.Comment: 30 pages. v2: Improved Version. References added. v3: Minor changes,

T-duality and Generalized Kahler Geometry
We use newly discovered N = (2, 2) vector multiplets to clarify T-dualities
for generalized Kahler geometries. Following the usual procedure, we gauge
isometries of nonlinear sigma-models and introduce Lagrange multipliers that
constrain the field-strengths of the gauge fields to vanish. Integrating out
the Lagrange multipliers leads to the original action, whereas integrating out
the vector multiplets gives the dual action. The description is given both in N
= (2, 2) and N = (1, 1) superspace.Comment: 14 pages; published version: some conventions improved, minor
