A key optical parameter characterizing the existence of negative refraction in a thin layer of a composite material is the effective refractive index of an equivalent, homogenized layer with the same physical thickness as the initial…
In this paper we study reflection of holes in direct-band semiconductors from the linear potential barrier. It is shown that light-heavy hole transformation matrix is universal. It depends only on a dimensionless product of the light hole…
We describe the congruence lattices of frames and $\kappa$-frames. We look at the role that congruence biframes play in the category of strictly zero-dimensional biframes and discuss some reflections and coreflections of congruence frames.
We revisit several results concerning club principles and nonsaturation of the nonstationary ideal, attempting to improve them in various ways. So we typically deal with a (non necessarily normal) ideal $J$ extending the nonstationary ideal…
After reviewing various natural bi-interpretations in urelement set theory, including second-order set theories with urelements, we explore the strength of second-order reflection in these contexts. Ultimately, we prove, second-order…
We establish the Schwarz Reflection Principle for $J$-complex discs attached to a real analytic $J$-totally real submanifold of an almost complex manifold with real analytic $J$. We also prove the precise boundary regularity and derive the…
This paper presents two approaches to the precise design of maximally flat antireflection coatings reducing the reflectance of the substrate to near zero in a certain region around the central frequency. The first ideal case concerns…
We prove the consistency of irr(prod limits_{i<kappa}B_i/D)< prod limits_{i<kappa}irr(B_i)/D, where D is an ultrafilter on kappa and each B_i is a Boolean Algebra. This solves the last problem of this form from the Monk's list of problems,…
Assume $\kappa = \kappa^{< \kappa}$ (usually $\aleph_0$ or an inaccessible). We shall deal with iterated forcings preserving ${}^{\kappa>}{\rm Ord}$ and not collapsing cardinals along a linear order $L$. A sufficient condition for this,…
Specht ideals are symmetric ideals in the polynomial ring generated by Specht polynomials associated with group representations. These ideals were previously studied for reflection groups of types $A$ and $B$, where their inclusion…
We prove that for an arbitrary $\kappa \le \frac{1}{3}$ any subset of $\mathbf{F}_p$ avoiding $t$ linear equations with three variables has size less than $O(p/t^\kappa)$. We also find several applications to problems about so--called…
We investigated the possibility of introducing sizeable negative corrections to the $\varepsilon_{N1}$ ($\delta \rho$) parameter without affecting $\varepsilon_{N3}$. We have found that a proper vector-like family of fermions can imply such…
Motivated by recent claims, we revisit how coherent perfect absorption (CPA) influences cavity and polaritonic linewidths. Using standard input output theory and measurements on single port bare microwave cavities and cavity magnon hybrids,…
In this paper, we investigate some topics around the closed image $S$ of a rational map $\lambda$ given by some homogeneous elements $f_1,...,f_n$ of the same degree in a graded algebra $A$. We first compute the degree of this closed image…
Given $\Sigma\subset\mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$, any finite collection of linear forms, some possibly proportional, and any $1\leq a\leq |\Sigma|$, it has been conjectured that $I_a(\Sigma)$, the ideal generated by all $a$-fold products of…
Let A be a commutative ring and I an ideal of A with a reduction Q. In this paper we give an upper bound on the reduction number of I with respect to Q, when a suitable family of ideals in A is given. As a corollary it follows that if some…
It is well known that the Chern classes $c_i$ of a rank $n$ vector bundle on $\PP^N$, generated by global sections, are non-negative if $i\leq n$ and vanish otherwise. This paper deals with the following question: does the above result hold…
We report on a joint ASCA and RXTE observation spanning an $\sim$ 400~ks time interval of the bright Seyfert~1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15. The data clearly confirm the presence of a broad skewed iron line ($W_{K\alpha} \sim$ 266 eV) and Compton…
We prove that for any prime number $p\ge 3$, there exists a positive number $\kappa_p$ such that $\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)\ge \kappa_pc_1^2$ holds true for all algebraic surfaces $X$ of general type in characteristic $p$. In particular,…
For a discrete group $G$, we use the natural correspondence between ideals in the Boolean algebra $ \mathcal{P}_G$ of subsets of $G$ and closed subsets in the Stone-$\check{C}$ech compactifi-cation $\beta G$ as a right topological semigroup…
