The equivalence problem and rigidity for hypersurfaces embedded into hyperquadrics
We consider the class of Levi nondegenerate hypersurfaces in \bC^{n+1}
that admit a local (CR transversal) embedding, near a point , into a
standard nondegenerate hyperquadric in with codimension
small compared to the CR dimension of . We show that, for hypersurfaces
in this class, there is a normal form (which is closely related to the
embedding) such that any local equivalence between two hypersurfaces in normal
form must be an automorphism of the associated tangent hyperquadric. We also
show that if the signature of and that of the standard hyperquadric in
\bC^{N+1} are the same, then the embedding is rigid in the sense that any
other embedding must be the original embedding composed with an automorphism of
the quadric
Holomorphic extension of smooth CR-mappings between real-analytic and real-algebraic CR-manifolds
We establish results on holomorphic extension of CR-mappings of class
between a real-analytic CR-submanifold of \C^N and a
real-algebraic CR-submanifold of \C^{N'}
Modeling of gyrosynchrotron radio emission pulsations produced by MHD loop oscillations in solar flares
A quantitative study of the observable radio signatures of the sausage, kink,
and torsional MHD oscillation modes in flaring coronal loops is performed.
Considering first non-zero order effect of these various MHD oscillation modes
on the radio source parameters such as magnetic field, line of sight, plasma
density and temperature, electron distribution function, and the source
dimensions, we compute time dependent radio emission (spectra and light
curves). The radio light curves (of both flux density and degree of
polarization) at all considered radio frequencies are than quantified in both
time domain (via computation of the full modulation amplitude as a function of
frequency) and in Fourier domain (oscillation spectra, phases, and partial
modulation amplitude) to form the signatures specific to a particular
oscillation mode and/or source parameter regime. We found that the parameter
regime and the involved MHD mode can indeed be distinguished using the
quantitative measures derived in the modeling. We apply the developed approach
to analyze radio burst recorded by Owens Valley Solar Array and report possible
detection of the sausage mode oscillation in one (partly occulted) flare and
kink or torsional oscillations in another flare.Comment: ApJ, accepte
Deformation of generic submanifolds in a complex manifold
This paper shows that an arbitrary generic submanifold in a complex manifold
can be deformed into a 1-parameter family of generic submanifolds satisfying
strong nondegeneracy conditions. The proofs use a careful analysis of the jet
spaces of embeddings satisfying certain nondegeneracy properties, and also make
use of the Thom transversality theorem, as well as the stratification of
real-algebraic sets. Optimal results on the order of nondegeneracy are given.Comment: 24 page
Thermocapillary rupture in falling liquid films at moderate Reynolds numbers
An experimental study of the flow of a water film over a heated surface for Re = 15-50 was performed. The influence of the development of thermocapillary instability on the wave amplitudes, the deformation of the surface of the liquid film, and the formation of the first stable dry spot on the heater are investigated. It is shown that the interaction of waves with thermocapillary structures can lead to an increase in the critical heat flux corresponding to the rupture of the liquid film, as compared with the data known in the literature
Sausage oscillations of coronal loops
Aims. Analytical theory predicts the existence of trapped global (or fundamental) sausage fast magnetoacoustic modes in thick and dense coronal loops only, with the periods estimated as the ratio of double the loop length and the Alfvén speed outside the loop. We extend this study to the leaking regime, considering global sausage modes of long loops with small density contrasts.
Methods. Anti-symmetric fast magnetoacoustic perturbations (sausage, or m = 0 modes) of a low β plasma slab with the symmetric Epstein profile of plasma density are modelled numerically.
Results. It was found that long loops with sufficiently small density contrast can support global sausage leaky modes of detectable quality. The periods of the leaky modes are found to be approximately determined by the loop length and the external Alfvén speed. If the loop length can be estimated from imaging observations, the observed period of this mode provides us with the information about the Alfvén speed outside the loop. For typical flaring coronal loops, the estimated periods of the global sausage modes are
about 5−60 s
