The dimension of some affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties
We prove Rapoport's dimension conjecture for affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties
for GL_h and superbasic b. From this case the general dimension formula for
affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for special maximal compact subgroups of split
groups follows, as was shown in a recent paper by Goertz, Haines, Kottwitz, and
Reuman.Comment: 13 pages, some small mistakes corrected, author's last name changed

Fluorescent radiation converter
A fluorescence radiation converter is described which includes a substantially undoped optically transparent substrate and a waveshifter coating deposited on at least one portion of the substrate for absorption of radiation and conversion of fluorescent radiation. The coating is formed to substantially 1000 g/liter of a solvent, 70 to 200 g/liter of an organic polymer, and 0.2 to 25 g/liter of at least one organic fluorescent dye. The incoming incident radiation impinges on the coating. Radiation is absorbed by the fluorescent dye and is re-emitted as a longer wavelength radiation. Radiation is trapped within the substrate and is totally internally reflected by the boundary surface. Emitted radiation leaves the substrate ends to be detected
Towards a theory of local Shimura varieties
This is a survey article that advertizes the idea that there should exist a
theory of p-adic local analogues of Shimura varieties. Prime examples are the
towers of rigid-analytic spaces defined by Rapoport-Zink spaces, and we also
review their theory in the light of this idea. We also discuss conjectures on
the -adic cohomology of local Shimura varieties.Comment: 53 page
