Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, for example, as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasiorthogonality). These triangles have two ...
A compact and broadband orthomode transducer (OMT) with two dual linearly polarized ports is reported here for the first time. The component is based on a combination of two ridged Boifot junctions through a series of power dividers that act as an embedded ...
The Tarski number of a nonamenable group is the smallest number of pieces needed for a paradoxical decomposition of the group. Nonamenable groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms were introduced in [N. Monod, Groups of piecewise projective homeomorph ...
We prove that a closed subgroup H of a locally compact group G is a set of p-uniqueness (1 < p < infinity) if and only if H is locally negligible. We also obtain the inverse projection theorem for sets of p-uniqueness. ...
We propose elementary and explicit presentations of groups that have no amenable quotients and yet are SQ-universal. Examples include groups with a finite K (pi,1), no Kazhdan subgroups and no Haagerup quotients. ...
We study the properties of the normal cone to a proximally smooth set. We give a complete characterization of a proximally smooth set through the monotonicity properties of its normal cone in an arbitrary uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. ...
The system and method for used capsules (11), such as coffee capsules, with a lid and a capsule body, comprises at least cutting means (17) to cut the lid from the body, capturing means to extract the cut lid from the body, compacting means (12, 14) to com ...
We consider a critical point u(0) of a functional f is an element of C-1 (H, R), where H is a real Hilbert space, and formulate criteria ensuring that u(0) lies in a potential well of f without supposing that f' is Frechet differentiable at u(0). The deriv ...
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...
Motivated by recent experimental progress in the context of ultracold multicolor fermionic atoms in optical lattices, we have developed a method to exactly diagonalize the Heisenberg SU(N) Hamiltonian with several particles per site living in a fully symme ...
