    Let uu be a smooth convex function in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} and the graph MuM_{\nabla u} of u\nabla u be a space-like translating soliton in pseudo-Euclidean space Rn2n\mathbb{R}^{2n}_{n} with a translating vector 1n(a1,a2,,an;b1,b2,,bn)\frac{1}{n}(a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}; b_{1}, b_{2}, \cdots, b_{n}), then the function uu satisfies detD2u=exp{i=1naiuxi+i=1nbixi+c}onRn \det D^{2}u=\exp \left\{ \sum_{i=1}^n- a_i\frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}} +\sum_{i=1}^n b_ix_i+c\right\} \qquad \hbox{on}\qquad\mathbb R^n where aia_i, bib_i and cc are constants. The Bernstein type results are obtained in the course of the arguments.Comment: 9 page

    Performance Persistence of Dutch Pension Funds

    Get PDF
    This paper studies the investment performance of pension funds with a focus on their ability in implementing their intended investment strategy. We use a sample of Dutch industry-wide pension funds, which are obliged by law to report their investment performance according to the so-called z-score. The z-score is a risk-adjusted performance measure with benchmark settings predefined by Dutch law. We find that pension funds as a group cannot beat their self-selected benchmarks consistently. Applying a cross-sectional portfolio approach we find evidence that the largest pension funds outperform the smallest funds

    Solutions of special asymptotics to the Einstein constraint equations

    Full text link
    We construct solutions with prescribed asymptotics to the Einstein constraint equations using a cut-off technique. Moreover, we give various examples of vacuum asymptotically flat manifolds whose center of mass and angular momentum are ill-defined.Comment: 13 pages; the error in Lemma 3.5 fixed and typos corrected; to appear in Class.
