    The shift operator for a quantum lattice current algebra associated with sl(2) is produced in the form of product of local factors. This gives a natural deformation of the Sugawara construction for discrete space-time.

    For a subset S⊂\mathbb{N}={1, 2, ...} and a commutative ring R with unit, let R[q]S denote the completion \underleftarrow{lim}f(q)R[q]/(f(q)), where f(q) runs over all the products of the powers of cyclotomic polynomials Φn(q) with nS. We will show that under certain conditions the completion R[q]S can be regarded as a “ring of analytic functions” defined on the set of roots of unity of order in S. This means that an element of R[q]S vanishes if it vanishes on a certain type of infinite set of roots of unity, or if its power series expansion at one root of unity vanishes. In particular, the completion \mathbb{Z}[q]\mathbb{N}{=}\underleftarrow{lim}n\mathbb{Z}[q]/((1−q)(1−q2)…(1−qn)) enjoys this property.

    We report about some results, interesting examples, problems and conjectures revolving around the parabolic Kostant partition functions, the parabolic Kostka polynomials and “saturation” properties of several generalizations of the Littlewood–Richardson numbers. The Contents contains the titles of main topics we are going to discuss in the present paper.

    We compare several constructions of compactified jacobians — using semistable sheaves, semistable projective curves, degenerations of abelian varieties, and combinatorics of cell decompositions — and show that they are equivalent. We give a detailed description of the “canonical compactified jacobian” in degree g−1. Finally, we explain how Kapranov's compactification of configuration spaces can be understood as a toric analog of the extended Torelli map.

    In this paper we review some classes of exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations under a time-independent external straining flow, centering around the celebrated Burgers vortex. The objectives are (i) to clarify the relationship between them and (ii) to examine them as models of turbulence. Particularly we study the Lundgren spiral model for turbulence in the presence of azimuthal vorticity (that is, with axial velocity). The implication on linear stability of the Burgers vortex is briefly discussed.

    In the present paper, we consider the following problem: For a given closed point x of a special fiber of a generically smooth family XS of stable curves (with dim(S)=1), is there a covering YX that is generically étale (i.e., étale over the generic fiber(s) of XS, not only over the generic point(s) of X), where Y is also a family of stable curves, such that the image in X of the non-smooth locus of Y contains x? Among other things, we prove that this is affirmative (possibly after replacing S by a finite extension) in the case where S is the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic whose residue field is algebraic over \mathbb{F}p.

    Let V\mathbb{R} be a real vector space with an irreducible action of a finite reflection group W. We study the semi-algebraic geometry of the W-quotient affine variety V//W with the discriminant divisor DW in it and the τ-quotient affine variety V//W//τ with the bifurcation set BW in it, where τ is the \mathbb{G}a-action on V//W obtained by the integration of the primitive vector field D on V//W and BW is the discriminant divisor of the induced projection : DWV//W//τ.
    Our goal is the construction of a one-parameter family of the semi-algebraic polyhedra KW(λ) in V\mathbb{R} which are dual to the Weyl chamber decomposition of V\mathbb{R}.
    As an application, we obtain two geometric descriptions of generators for π1 ((V//W)\mathbb{C}reg), satisfying the Artin braid relations.
    The key of the construction of the polyhedra KW(λ) is a theorem on a linearization of the tube domain in (V//W)\mathbb{R} over the simplicial cone EW in TW, \mathbb{R}.

    The aim of this paper is to discuss for Wishart processes some properties which are analogues of the corresponding well-known ones for Bessel processes. In fact, we mainly concentrate on the local absolute continuity relationship between the laws of Wishart processes with different dimensions, a property which, in the case of Bessel processes, has proven to play a rather important role in a number of applications.
