Motivated by financial applications, we study convex analysis for modules over the ordered ring L0 of random variables. We establish a module analogue of locally convex vector spaces, namely locally L0-convex modules. In this context, we prove hyperplane s ...
Let A be a regular local ring containing 1/2, which is either equicharacteristic, or is smooth over a d.v.r. of mixed characteristic. We prove that the product maps on derived Grothendieck-Witt groups of A satisfy the following property: given two elements ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove that the restricted nilpotent commuting variety C, that is the set of pairs of (n x n)-matrices (A, B) such that A(2) = B-2 = [A, B] = 0, is equidimensional. C can be identified with the ...
In previous work, we defined the category of functors F-quad, associated to F-2-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form. In this paper, we define a special family of objects in the category F-quad, named the mixed functors. We give the c ...
Let A be an Abelian variety defined over a number field k. Let P be a point in A(k) and let X be a subgroup of A(k). Gajda and Kowalski asked in 2002 whether it is true that the point P belongs to X if and only if the point (P mod p) belongs to (X mod p) f ...
Let A be a noetherian commutative Z[1/2]-algebra of Krull dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We use derived Grothendieck-Witt groups and Euler classes to detect some obstructions for P to split off a free factor of rank one. If d
Novel functionalities have been developed through the fusion of optics and microfluidics. We categorize the different possible tuning mechanisms in optofluidics and describe the recent examples in each category. (C)2010 Optical Society of America ...

We demonstrate that lithium niobate nanowires generate electric fields under 514 nm continuous wave laser illumination. Birefringent media are used to visualize the generated fields in a microfluidic channel. Input laser polarization dependence is shown. ( ...

This dissertation is concerned with the study of a new family of representations of finite groups, the endo-p-permutation modules. Given a prime number p, a finite group G of order divisible by p and an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, we ...
Let P and Q be finite sets of points in the plane. In this note we consider the largest cardinality of a subset of the Minkowski sum S ⊆ P⊕Q which consist of convex independent points. We show that, if P and Q contain at most n points, then |S| = O(n^(4/3) ...
