Triangulated Structures for projective Modules
We give a characterisation of those local not necessary commutative rings,
for which the category of projective modules admits a triangulation with the
identity as translation functor. By "admits a triangulation" we mean that the
category can be given the structure of a triangulated category that satisfies
the standard set of axioms including the octahedral axiom.Comment: 19 page
Chiral spin liquid in a two-dimensional two-component helical magnet
A low-temperature method is developed, suited for the two-dimensional
two-component classical helical magnet. Four phases on the phase diagram as
functions of temperature and helicity parameter of the Hamiltonian are found.
Among the three ordered phases two show magnetic order: the usual algebraic
correlations of the magnetization and the algebraic correlations of the
magnetization in the frame rotating according with the helical order. A chiral
spin liquid phase emerges directly from the paramagnetic phase and has a scalar
parity-breaking pitch of the magnetization as the order parameter. The chiral
phase transition is found to be of a continuous second order type with a
modified by the long-range interaction Ising universality class. All the
critical exponents are calculated in the second and the third order of an
-expansion. A new scaling relationship replacing the Josephson's one
is found.Comment: v2: Fig.2 and Eqs. (45) and (46) as first submitted to PR
Of Discovery and Dread: The Importance of Work Challenges for International Business Travelersâ Thriving and Global Role Turnover Intentions
As frequent travel across international borders has become common for an everâincreasing number of workers, it is essential to understand what helps these international business travelers (IBTs) thrive and embrace their global work responsibilities. This study's purpose is to examine the role of developmental opportunities (i.e., work role challenges) in helping IBTs see frequent travel as a predominantly beneficial experience. By integrating two theories of motivationâconservation of resources theory and the challengeâhindrance demands frameworkâI build a moderated mediation model of IBTsâ intent to cease their global work responsibilities (i.e., global role turnover intentions). Using latent moderated structural equation modeling (LMS) I test the model on a sample of 204 IBTs collected at two timeâpoints. Results show that, through the psychological state of thriving at work, travel frequency has a negative indirect association with IBTsâ global role turnover intentions when IBTsâ work roles are challenging and a positive association when their work lacks challenge. This is primarily the case regarding the challenge of being responsible for others at work. The novelty of IBTsâ work tasks is also a salient challenge but to a lesser extent. This study contributes to literatures on global work, work role design, and thriving
Institutionalization of Imported Rules in the European Union's New Member States: Bringing Politics Back in the Research Agenda
This paper sets out to explore the puzzle of possible institutionalization or reversal of rules 'imported' by new member states from Central and Eastern Europe during their preparation for accession to the EU. It argues that the institutionalization of formal rules adopted as part of enlargement requirements is not automatic post accession. New formal rules can be reversed, supported by secondary rules and institutionalized or ignored and not implemented. The paper proposes a politics framework that suggests that these different outcomes will be influenced by the environment of weak post communist states and will depend on the area specific configuration of formal and informal veto players and on the EU's ability to impose sanctions. In the case of non acquis imported rules, reversal of formal rules would be possible without sanctions whereas in the case of acquis rules, the likely outcomes are institutionalization or 'empty shells'. Another outcome, 'capture' of the new rules is likely in areas with distributive implications.enlargement; East-Central Europe; acquis communautaire; institutionalisation; administrative adaptation
Deposit Insurance During EU Accession
The paper presents a brief review of the systems of deposit insurance in accession countries, comparing their level of harmonization with the perspective of their EU integration. Studying the different practices of deposit insurance in the context of developing financial safety nets in future Europe we have found that: (i) there is overinsurance of deposits in accession countries, and (ii) that this could lead to increasing moral hazard, incentives deformation and increasing costs of banking intermediation in the whole euro area.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/40003/3/wp617.pd
Lossy Channel Games under Incomplete Information
In this paper we investigate lossy channel games under incomplete
information, where two players operate on a finite set of unbounded FIFO
channels and one player, representing a system component under consideration
operates under incomplete information, while the other player, representing the
component's environment is allowed to lose messages from the channels. We argue
that these games are a suitable model for synthesis of communication protocols
where processes communicate over unreliable channels. We show that in the case
of finite message alphabets, games with safety and reachability winning
conditions are decidable and finite-state observation-based strategies for the
component can be effectively computed. Undecidability for (weak) parity
objectives follows from the undecidability of (weak) parity perfect information
games where only one player can lose messages.Comment: In Proceedings SR 2013, arXiv:1303.007
