Uniform Semiclassical Approximation for the Wigner Symbol in Terms of Rotation Matrices
A new uniform asymptotic approximation for the Wigner symbol is given in
terms of Wigner rotation matrices (-matrices). The approximation is uniform
in the sense that it applies for all values of the quantum numbers, even those
near caustics. The derivation of the new approximation is not given, but the
geometrical ideas supporting it are discussed and numerical tests are
presented, including comparisons with the exact -symbol and with the
Ponzano-Regge approximation.Comment: 44 pages plus 20 figure
Buffer occupancy of statistical multiplexers with periodic interchangeable traffic in ATM networks
In this paper we analyze the buffer occupancy in a statistical multiplexer in ATM networks for a special type of traffic, namely, periodic interchangeable (PI) traffic. Certain generalized Ballot theorem is applied to analyze the problem. Explicit formulas for the expected buffer occupancy are derived

Rigidity for F_4(p)
We prove the existence of certain rationally rigid triples in F_4(p) for good
primes p (i.e., p>3), thereby showing that these groups occur as regular Galois
groups over Q(t) and so also over Q. We show that these triples give rise to
rigid triples in the algebraic group and prove that they generate an
interesting subgroup in characteristic 0.Comment: 9 pages. Welcome comment
