Shaft vibrations in turbomachinery excited by cracks
During the past years the dynamic behavior of rotors with cracks has been investigated mainly theoretically. This paper deals with the comparison of analytical and experimental results of the dynamics of a rotor with an artificial crack. The experimental results verify the crack model used in the analysis. They show the general possibility to determine a crack by extended vibration control
Local Lie algebra determines base manifold
It is proven that a local Lie algebra in the sense of A. A. Kirillov
determines the base manifold up to a diffeomorphism provided the anchor map is
nowhere-vanishing. In particular, the Lie algebras of nowhere-vanishing Poisson
or Jacobi brackets determine manifolds. This result has been proven for
different types of differentiability: smooth, real-analytic, and holomorphic.Comment: 13 pages, minor corrections, to appear in "From Geometry to Quantum

A note on the longest common Abelian factor problem
Abelian string matching problems are becoming an object of considerable
interest in last years. Very recently, Alatabbi et al. \cite{AILR2015}
presented the first solution for the longest common Abelian factor problem for
a pair of strings, reaching time with bits
of space, where is the length of the strings and is the alphabet
size. In this note we show how the time complexity can be preserved while the
space is reduced by a factor of , and then how the time complexity can
be improved, if the alphabet is not too small, when superlinear space is
allowed.Comment: v3 is vastly different to the previous on
Brackets
We review origins and main properties of the most important bracket
operations appearing canonically in differential geometry and mathematical
physics in the classical, as well as the supergeometric setting. The review is
supplemented by a few new concepts and examples.Comment: 40 pages, minor corrections, to appear in IJGMM
Isomorphisms of algebras of smooth functions revisited
It is proved that isomorphisms between algebras of smooth functions on
Hausdorff smooth manifolds are implemented by diffeomorphisms. It is not
required that manifolds are second countable nor paracompact. This solves a
problem stated by A. Wienstein. Some related results are discussed as well.Comment: 6 pages, minor changes, the final version to appear in Archiv der

Group ring elements with large spectral density
Given an arbitrary d>0 we construct a group G and a group ring element S in
Z[G] such that the spectral measure mu of S has the property that mu((0,eps)) >
C/|log(eps)|^(1+d) for small eps. In particular the Novikov-Shubin invariant of
any such S is 0. The constructed examples show that the best known upper bounds
on mu((0,eps)) are not far from being optimal.Comment: 19 pages, v3: Changes suggested by a referee; Essentially this is the

Courant-Nijenhuis tensors and generalized geometries
Nijenhuis tensors on Courant algebroids compatible with the pairing are
studied. This compatibility condition turns out to be of the form
for irreducible Courant algebroids, in particular for the extended tangent
bundles . It is proved that compatible Nijenhuis tensors on
irreducible Courant algebroids must satisfy quadratic relations ,
so that the corresponding hierarchy is very poor. The particular case
is associated with Hitchin's generalized geometries and the cases and
-- to other "generalized geometries". These concepts find a natural
description in terms of supersymplectic Poisson brackets on graded
supermanifolds.Comment: 10 page
Vanishing of l^2-cohomology as a computational problem
We show that it is impossible to algorithmically decide if the l^2-cohomology
of the universal cover of a finite CW complex is trivial, even if we only
consider complexes whose fundamental group is equal to the elementary amenable
group (Z_2 \wr Z)^3. A corollary of the proof is that there is no algorithm
which decides if an element of the integral group ring of the group (\Z_2 \wr
Z)^4 is a zero-divisor. On the other hand, we show, assuming some standard
conjectures, that such an algorithm exists for the integral group ring of any
group with a decidable word problem and a bound on the sizes of finite
subgroups.Comment: 18 pages; rewritten following referee's reports; to appear in

Graded cluster algebras
In the cluster algebra literature, the notion of a graded cluster algebra has
been implicit since the origin of the subject. In this work, we wish to bring
this aspect of cluster algebra theory to the foreground and promote its study.
We transfer a definition of Gekhtman, Shapiro and Vainshtein to the algebraic
setting, yielding the notion of a multi-graded cluster algebra. We then study
gradings for finite type cluster algebras without coefficients, giving a full
classification.
Translating the definition suitably again, we obtain a notion of
multi-grading for (generalised) cluster categories. This setting allows us to
prove additional properties of graded cluster algebras in a wider range of
cases. We also obtain interesting combinatorics---namely tropical frieze
patterns---on the Auslander--Reiten quivers of the categories.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures. v2: Substantially revised with additional
results. New section on graded (generalised) cluster categories. v3: added

My Mark Twain: Old Man River
Flowing across his pages, the Mississippi River inextricably winds itself through Mark Twain’s canon. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that my image of Clemens, my Mark Twain, is as a personification of his beloved river. Twain draws his readers to the water’s edge, seduces readers to stare into his depths, and reflects the achievements and failings of humanity. Furthermore, like the Mississippi River, Twain embeds himself in the American psyche
