    Quasi-Potency and Cyclic subgroup separability 

    Burillo Puig, Josep; Martino, Armando (2005-01)

    We study the profinite topology on discrete groups and in particular the property of cyclic subgroup separability. We investigate the class of quasi-potent, cyclic subgroup separable groups, producing many examples and ...

    Weak systems of Gandy, Jensen and Devlin 

    Mathias, A.R.D. (2005-02)

    In Part I, we formulate and examine some systems that have arisen in the study of the constructible hierarchy; we find numerous transitive models for them, among which are supertransitive models containing all ordinals ...

    On Boas-Type Problem 

    Tikhonov, Sergey Yu. (2005-02)

    R.P. Boas has found necessary and sufficient conditions of belonging of function to Lipschitz class. From his findings it turned out, that the conditions on sine and cosine coefficients for belonging of function to Lip α(0 ...

    Infinite index subgroups and finiteness properties of intersections of geometrically finite groups 

    Apanasov, Boris N. (2005-02)

    We explore which types of finiteness properties are possible for intersections of geometrically finite groups of isometries in negatively curved symmetric rank one spaces. Our main tool is a twist construction which takes ...

    Reduction, Linearization and stability of relative equilibria for mechanical systems on riemannian manifolds 

    Bullo, Francesco; Lewis, Andrew D. (2005-02)

    Consider a Riemannian manifold equipped with an infinitesimal isometry. For this setup, a unified treatment is provided, solely in the language of Riemannian geometry, of techniques in reduction, linearization, and stability ...

    Cat(0) and Cat (-1) dimensions of torsion free 

    Brady, Noel; Crisp, John (2005-02)

    We show that a particular free-by-cyclic group has CAT(0) dimension equal to 2, but CAT(-1) dimension equal to 3. We also classify the minimal proper 2-dimensional CAT(0) actions of this group; they correspond, up to ...

    Shellability of noncrossing partition lattices 

    Athanasiadis, Christos A.; Brady, Thomas; Watt, Colum (2005-02)

    We give a case-free proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated to any finite real reflection group is EL-shellable. Shellability of these lattices was open for the groups of type Dn and those of exceptional ...

    On moduli of smoothness of fractional order 

    Tikhonov, Sergey Yu. (2005-02)

    In this paper we consider the properties of moduli of smoothness of fractional order. The main result of the paper describes the equivalence of the modulus of smoothness and a function from some class.

    Contractions in the 2-wasserstein lenght space and thermalization of granular media 

    Carrillo, José A.; McCann, Robert, J.; Villani, Cédric (2005-03)

    An algebraic decay rate is derived which bounds the time required for velocities to equilibrate in a spatially homogeneous flow-through model representing the continuum limit of a gas of particles interacting through ...

    Contractive metrics for a Boltzmann equation for granular gases: diffusive equilibriaThe Patterson-Sullivan embedding and minimal volume entropy for outer space 

    Bisi, M.; Carrillo, José A.; Toscani, Giuseppe (2005-03)

    We quantify the long-time behavior of a system of (partially) inelastic particles in a stochastic thermostat by means of the contractivity of a suitable metric in the set of probability measures. Existence, uniqueness, ...

    Combinatorial and metric properties of Thompson's group T 

    Burillo Puig, Josep; Cleary, Sean; Stein, Melanie; Taback, Jennifer (2005-03)

    We discuss metric and combinatorial properties of Thompson's group T, such as the normal forms for elements and uniqueness of tree pair diagrams. We relate these properties to those of Thompson's group F when possible, and ...

    Semidiscretization and long-time asymptotics of nonlinear diffusion equations 

    Carrillo, José A.; Di Francesco, Marco; Gualdani, Maria P. (2005-03)

    We review several results concerning the long time asymptotics of nonlinear diffusion models based on entropy and mass transport methods. Semidiscretization of these nonlinear diffusion models are proposed and their numerical ...

    A proof that all Seifert 3-manifold groups and all virtual surface groups are conjugacy separable 

    Martino, Armando (2005-04)

    We prove that the fundamental group of any Seifert 3-manifold is conjugacy separable. That is, conjugates may be distinguished infinite quotients or, equivalently, conjugacy classes are closed in the pro-finite topology.

    Stability and asymptotic analysis of a fluid-particle interaction model 

    Carrillo, José A.; Goudon, Thierry (2005-04)

    We are interested in coupled microscopic/macroscopic models describing the evolution of particles dispersed in a fluid. The system consists in a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation to describe the microscopic motion of the ...

    The Zariski-Lefschetz principle for higher homotopy groups of nongeneric pencils 

    Tibăr, Mihai (2005-04)

    We prove a general Zariski-van Kampen-Lefschetz type theorem for higher homotopy groups of generic and nongeneric pencils on singular open complex spaces.
