A new result on the Klein-Gordon equation in the background of a rotating black hole
This short paper should serve as basis for further analysis of a previously
found new symmetry of the solutions of the wave equation in the gravitational
field of a Kerr black hole. Its main new result is the proof of essential
self-adjointness of the spatial part of a reduced normalized wave operator of
the Kerr metric in a weighted L^2-space. As a consequence, it leads to a purely
operator theoretic proof of the well-posedness of the initial value problem of
the reduced Klein-Gordon equation in that field in that L^2-space and in this
way generalizes a corresponding result of Kay (1985) in the case of the
Schwarzschild black hole. It is believed that the employed methods are
applicable to other separable wave equations
PCPro a Novel Technology for Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing
PCPro stands for Precise Cast Prototyping, which is a combination of casting technologies and
milling. This method was developed at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden, Germany. It is patented in
Germany [1] and is applied in the USA under US 10/794,936. The main goal for this
development was to shorten the process chain for making plastic prototypes accompanied by
higher quality. The casting technology was integrated in a machining center in order to enable a
high degree of automation and to avoid an external casting system. This means that Rapid
Manufacturing can be easily implemented using such an automated combination of casting and
machining.
This article describes the PCPro method by means of the fabrication of sample parts. The
advantages and the limitations in comparison to common Rapid Prototyping and Rapid
Manufacturing process chains will be discussed. In addition, the manufacturing of a prototype
machine is presented.Mechanical Engineerin
Correlations in hot and dense quark matter
We present a relativistic three-body equation to investigate three-quark
clusters in hot and dense quark matter. To derive such an equation we use the
Dyson equation approach. The equation systematically includes the Pauli
blocking factors as well as the self energy corrections of quarks. Special
relativity is realized through the light front form. Presently we use a
zero-range force and investigate the Mott transition.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure, Few-Body Systems style file
Few-Body States in Fermi-Systems and Condensation Phenomena
Residual interactions in many particle systems lead to strong correlations. A
multitude of spectacular phenomenae in many particle systems are connected to
correlation effects in such systems, e.g. pairing, superconductivity,
superfluidity, Bose-Einstein condensation etc. Here we focus on few-body bound
states in a many-body surrounding.Comment: 10 pages, proceedings 1st Asian-Pacific Few-Body Conference, needs

Formulas for sound velocity in sea water
Recent measurements by Del Grosso show a discrepancy between computed and observed values of sound velocity in sea water. The basis of Kuwahara\u27s formula has been re-examined. The chief cause of the discrepancy lies in the use of a value for the compressibility of pure water that is too large
