Crossed Signals in a Wireless World: The Seventh Circuit’s Misapplication of the Complete Preemption Doctrine

As the number of wireless telephone users continues to proliferate, so does the number of lawsuits against wireless service providers. While consumers seek to utilize various consumer-friendly state law causes of action, the wireless industry continues to push for a uniform federal regulatory regime. Ambiguous language in the Federal Communications Act of 1934 ( FCA ) and disagreement among the federal circuits has led to much confusion over whether state law claims affecting wireless rates and market entry are removable to federal court by way of complete preemption. This iBrief argues that FCA\u27s preemption power is limited by its savings clause, failure to establish a comprehensive regulatory scheme, and provision of a significant role for state regulation. Accordingly, the Seventh Circuit erred in Bastien v. AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. when it concluded that the FCA completely preempts certain state law claims against wireless service providers and thereby requires their removal to federal court

The Development of Intersection Homology Theory

This historical introduction is in two parts. The first is reprinted with permission from ``A century of mathematics in America, Part II,'' Hist. Math., 2, Amer. Math. Soc., 1989, pp.543-585. Virtually no change has been made to the original text. In particular, Section 8 is followed by the original list of references. However, the text has been supplemented by a series of endnotes, collected in the new Section 9 and followed by a second list of references. If a citation is made to the first list, then its reference number is simply enclosed in brackets -- for example, [36]. However, if a citation is made to the second list, then its number is followed by an `S' -- for example, [36S]. Further, if a subject in the reprint is elaborated on in an endnote, then the subject is flagged in the margin by the number of the corresponding endnote, and the endnote includes in its heading, between parentheses, the page number or numbers on which the subject appears in the reprint below. Finally, all cross-references appear as hypertext links in the dvi and pdf copies.Comment: 58 pages, hypertext links added; appeared in Part 3 of the special issue of Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly in honor of Robert MacPherson. However, the flags in the margin were unfortunately (and inexplicably) omitted from the published versio

Two Formulas for the BR Multiplicity

We prove a projection formula, expressing a relative Buchsbaum--Rim multiplicity in terms of corresponding ones over a module-finite algebra of pure degree, generalizing an old formula for the ordinary (Samuel) multiplicity. Our proof is simple in spirit: after the multiplicities are expressed as sums of intersection numbers, the desired formula results from two projection formulas, one for cycles and another for Chern classes. Similarly, but without using any projection formula, we prove an expansion formula, generalizing the additivity formula for the ordinary multiplicity, a case of the associativity formula.Comment: 10 pages, to appear in the Annali dell'Universit\`a di Ferrara, in a special memorial volume honoring Bobi Lascu. This version has been revised following a referee's suggestions, but the technical mathematics is unchange
