Sasakian structures are the counterparts of Kahler structures in odd dimensions. A Sasakian manifold is a strictly pseudo-convex CR manifold with a Reeb vector field that generates CR automorphisms. We first study Type I ...

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide a highly controllable environment for the clean experimental realization of various model Hamiltonians from condensed matter and statistical physics. For example, the two-component ...

I present in this dissertation two topics of monetary policy making under model parameter uncertainty. The first topic is an assessment of the Brainardfs principle in monetary policy making in a new context. Brainard (1967) ...

p53 is a transcription factor which promotes cell cycle arrest, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis in the presence of DNA damage or oncogenic signaling. It is mutated in more than half of all human cancers demonstrating ...

We show that the standard generating functions for genus 0 two-point twisted Gromov-Witten invariants arising from concavex vector bundles over symplectic toric manifolds are explicit transforms of the corresponding one-point ...

In Europe during the fourteenth century the perception of time was revolutionized by the invention of the mechanical clock. The device rendered the old qualitative, self referential perception of time obsolete and replaced ...
