Localization for nonabelian group actions
Suppose is a compact symplectic manifold acted on by a compact Lie group
(which may be nonabelian) in a Hamiltonian fashion, with moment map and Marsden-Weinstein reduction \xred = \mu^{-1}(0)/K.
There is then a natural surjective map from the equivariant
cohomology of to the cohomology H^*(\xred). In this paper we
prove a formula (Theorem 8.1, the residue formula) for the evaluation on the
fundamental class of \xred of any \eta_0 \in H^*(\xred) whose degree is the
dimension of \xred, provided that is a regular value of the moment map
on . This formula is given in terms of any class
for which , and involves the restriction of to
-orbits of components of the fixed point set of a chosen
maximal torus . Since isComment: 42 pages, LaTex version no. 2.09, Introduction and Section 8 have

The Hodge--Poincar\'e polynomial of the moduli spaces of stable vector bundles over an algebraic curve
Let X be a nonsingular complex projective variety that is acted on by a
reductive group and such that . We
give formulae for the Hodge--Poincar\'e series of the quotient .
We use these computations to obtain the corresponding formulae for the
Hodge--Poincar\'e polynomial of the moduli space of properly stable vector
bundles when the rank and the degree are not coprime. We compute explicitly the
case in which the rank equals 2 and the degree is even.Comment: Final published version. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

ESRI Demand Responsiveness Enquiry. ESRI Memorandum Series No. 115 1975
Irish manufacturing industry suffered a fall in its sales volume in 1975 over it's 1974 level. In an effort to clarify the relative importance of price competitiveness vis a vis other factors, the authors conducted a survey amongst firms in Irish manufacturing industry in December 1975. The results indicate what managers of firms perceived as the reasons for their poor sales performance. The questions put, of their very nature require subjective answer. Thus, managers, when faced with a leftward shift in their firms demand curve, were asked to distinguish the separate effects of a fall in consumer demand, and of any loss of price competitiveness. An effort was also made to
assess the degree of price responsiveness of demand amongst sectors in both domestic and export markets. The normal caveats about this type of subjective enquiry of course apply. The survey covered those firms which participate in the monthly CII/ESRI Business Opinion Survey. Of a total of 320 questionnaires despatched, 218 usable replies were received, a response rate of just over 68%. For the purposes of the survey the firms were classified in accordance with the ten sector classification used by the CSO in the Quarterly Industrial Enquiry. The actual processing and calculation of the results was carried out by computer, each firm's replies being weighed by that firm's turnover weight as used in the CII/ESRI survey. Sectoral output weights were derived from the finer sectoral classification of the same survey
How many invariant polynomials are needed to decide local unitary equivalence of qubit states?
Given L-qubit states with the fixed spectra of reduced one-qubit density
matrices, we find a formula for the minimal number of invariant polynomials
needed for solving local unitary (LU) equivalence problem, that is, problem of
deciding if two states can be connected by local unitary operations.
Interestingly, this number is not the same for every collection of the spectra.
Some spectra require less polynomials to solve LU equivalence problem than
others. The result is obtained using geometric methods, i.e. by calculating the
dimensions of reduced spaces, stemming from the symplectic reduction procedure.Comment: 22 page
Critical sets of the total variance of state detect all SLOCC entanglement classes
We present a general algorithm for finding all classes of pure multiparticle
states equivalent under Stochastic Local Operations and Classsical
Communication (SLOCC). We parametrize all SLOCC classes by the critical sets of
the total variance function. Our method works for arbitrary systems of
distinguishable and indistinguishable particles. We also discuss the Morse
indices of critical points which have the interpretation of the number of
independent non-local perturbations increasing the variance and hence
entanglement of a state. We illustrate our method by two examples.Comment: 4 page
The C.1.1.- E.S.R.I. Quarterly and Monthly Surveys of Business Attitudes: Methods and Uses. Quarterly Economic Commentary Special Article, March 1975
Beginning with the fourth quarter of 1961, the Confederation of Irish
Industry (C.1.1.) and the Economic and Social Research Institute (E.S.R.I.)
have been jointly administering a quarterly survey of businessmen's
attitudes in the Republic of Ireland. The results of this survey were
circulated to C.I.I. members and since 1968 were published in the E.S.R.I.'s
Quarterly Economic Commentary.
Similar monthly surveys have been carried out on a coordinated
basis by the member countries of the European Economic Community
since 1961. On Ireland's accession to the E.E.C. it was decided to revise
the C.1.1.-E.S.R.I. survey so as to ensure comparability with those in
other member countries. The process of revision has now been completed:
the last quarterly survey referred to the fist quarter of 1974, while the
first monthly survey was carried out in March 1974, and has been continued
on a regular basis since then.
The purpose of this note is to describe the methods and coverage of
the two surveys, to outline the uses to which the results may be put, and
to suggest some directions for further research into both the methods
and application of the surveys
Carbon nanotube: a low-loss spin-current waveguide
We demonstrate with a quantum-mechanical approach that carbon nanotubes are
excellent spin-current waveguides and are able to carry information stored in a
precessing magnetic moment for long distances with very little dispersion and
with tunable degrees of attenuation. Pulsed magnetic excitations are predicted
to travel with the nanotube Fermi velocity and are able to induce similar
excitations in remote locations. Such an efficient way of transporting magnetic
information suggests that nanotubes are promising candidates for memory devices
with fast magnetization switchings
Stratifying quotient stacks and moduli stacks
Recent results in geometric invariant theory (GIT) for non-reductive linear
algebraic group actions allow us to stratify quotient stacks of the form [X/H],
where X is a projective scheme and H is a linear algebraic group with
internally graded unipotent radical acting linearly on X, in such a way that
each stratum [S/H] has a geometric quotient S/H. This leads to stratifications
of moduli stacks (for example, sheaves over a projective scheme) such that each
stratum has a coarse moduli space.Comment: 25 pages, submitted to the Proceedings of the Abel Symposium 201
