Locally finite profinite rings

We investigate the structure of locally finite profinite rings. We classify (Jacobson-) semisimple locally finite profinite rings as products of complete matrix rings of bounded cardinality over finite fields, and we prove that the Jacobson radical of any locally finite profinite ring is nil of finite nilexponent. Our results apply to the context of small compact $G$-rings, where we also obtain a description of possible actions of $G$ on the underlying ring.Comment: 17 page

The Lascar groups and the 1st homology groups in model theory

Let $p$ be a strong type of an algebraically closed tuple over B=\acl^{\eq}(B) in any theory $T$. Depending on a ternary relation \indo^* satisfying some basic axioms (there is at least one such, namely the trivial independence in $T$), the first homology group $H^*_1(p)$ can be introduced, similarly to \cite{GKK1}. We show that there is a canonical surjective homomorphism from the Lascar group over $B$ to $H^*_1(p)$. We also notice that the map factors naturally via a surjection from the `relativised' Lascar group of the type (which we define in analogy with the Lascar group of the theory) onto the homology group, and we give an explicit description of its kernel. Due to this characterization, it follows that the first homology group of $p$ is independent from the choice of \indo^*, and can be written simply as $H_1(p)$. As consequences, in any $T$, we show that $|H_1(p)|\geq 2^{\aleph_0}$ unless $H_1(p)$ is trivial, and we give a criterion for the equality of stp and Lstp of algebraically closed tuples using the notions of the first homology group and a relativised Lascar group. We also argue how any abelian connected compact group can appear as the first homology group of the type of a model.Comment: 30 pages, no figures, this merged with the article arXiv:1504.0772

Microscopic Determinations of Fission Barriers, (MEAN-Field and Beyond)

With a help of the selfconsistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach with the D1S effective Gogny interaction and the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM) we incorporate the transverse collective vibrations to the one-dimensional model of the fission-barrier penetrability based on the traditional WKB method. The average fission barrier corresponding to the least-energy path in the two-dimensional potential energy landscape as function of quadrupole and octupole degrees of freedom is modified by the influence of the transverse collective vibrations along the nuclear path to fission. The set of transverse vibrational states built in the fission valley corresponding to a successively increasing nuclear elongation produces the new energy barrier which is compared with the least-energy barrier. These collective states are given as the eigensolutions of the GCM purely vibrational Hamiltonian. In addition, the influence of the collective inertia on the fission properties is displayed, and it turns out to be the decisive condition for the possible transitions between different fission valleys.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, presented at XIII Workshop of Nuclear Physics, Kazimierz Dolny, 2006 (Poland
