    Misja salezjańska Chiu Chow w Chinach

    No full text
    This article tells the story of Shiu Chow\u27s Salesian Mission in China (1918–1951), became Apostolic Vicariate (1920) and then diocese (1948). The Mission had lived a enormous development under the three Salesian bishops: Msgr. Versiglia (1918–1930), first Vicar Apostolic and Salesian protomartyr, Monk. Canazei (1930–1946), the Inspector in China and then Vicar Apostolic of Shiu Chow, Msgr. Arduino (1948–1951), director of the Salesian schools in Shanghai and first bishop of the diocese of Shiu Chow. Thriving mission activity and development closes the expulsion of the Salesian missionaries, the FMA nuns and Msgr. Arduino (December 2, 1951) from China from the Communists. The last part is dedicated to the Polish Salesian missionaries working in Shiu Chow Mission: coad. J. Urban, Ps. W. Spinek, sac. T. Szeliga, priest W. Wieczorek. The material for the article I found in the books of don. M. Rassiga, missionary and chronicler of Shiu Chow mission, I kindly offers to the author himself.Ten artykuł opowiada historię misji salezjańskiej Shiu Chow w Chinach (1918–1951), został wikariatem apostolskim (1920), a następnie diecezją (1948). Misja żyła a ogromny rozwój pod rządami trzech biskupów salezjańskich: ks. Versiglia (1918-1930), pierwszy wikariusz Pierwszy męczennik apostolski i salezjański, ks. Canazei (1930–1946), inspektor w Chinach, a następnie wikariusz Apostolski Shiu Chow, ks. Arduino (1948-1951), dyrektor szkół salezjańskich w Szanghaju i pierwszy biskup diecezji Shiu Chow. Prężnie rozwijająca się działalność i rozwój misji dobiegają końca wypędzenie salezjanów misjonarzy, sióstr CMW i ks. Arduino (2 grudnia 1951) od Chiny od komunistów. Ostatnia część poświęcona jest polskim misjonarzom salezjańskim pracującym w Polsce Misja Shiu Chow: dowódca. J. Urban, Ps. W. Spinek, sac. T. Szeligi, ks W. Wieczorek. The materiał do artykułu znalazłem w księgach dona. M. Rassiga, misjonarz i kronikarz Misję Shiu Chow, uprzejmie ofiarowuję samemu autorowi

    On Chow weight structures for cdh-motives with integral coeffcients

    No full text
    The main goal of this paper is to define a certain {\it Chow weight structure} wChoww_{\operatorname{Chow}} on the category DMc(S)\mathcal{DM}_c(S) of (constructible) cdhcdh-motives over an equicharacteristic scheme SS. In contrast to the previous papers of D.~H\'ebert and the first author on weights for relative motives (with rational coefficients), we can achieve our goal for motives with integral coefficients (if charS=0\operatorname{char} S=0; if charS=p>0\operatorname{char} S=p>0 then we consider motives with Z[1p]{\mathbb{Z}}[\frac{1}{p}]-coefficients). We prove that the properties of the Chow weight structures that were previously established for Q{\mathbb{Q}}-linear motives can be carried over to this "integral" context (and we generalize some of them using certain new methods). In this paper we mostly study the version of wChoww_{\operatorname{Chow}} defined via "gluing from strata"; this enables us to define Chow weight structures for a wide class of base schemes. As a consequence, we certainly obtain certain (Chow)-weight spectral sequences and filtrations on any (co)homology of motives.The work is supported by RFBR (grants no. 14-01-00393A and 15-01-03034A).

    Livonia Chow Mein

    No full text
    Livonia Chow Mein tells the story of a Chinese American restaurant-owning family in Brownsville, Brooklyn over the course of four generations and as the neighborhood faces urban renewal, white flight, ghettoization and gentrification. Restaurant owner Chin Koon Lai ambitions to raise his village out of poverty, but he finds his aims frustrated by China's political upheaval and Brownsville's transformation. His son Richard longs for acceptance from his Jewish peers and for his own chance at the American Dream, but his struggles cause him to scapegoat his Black and Puerto Rican neighbors—and to make a terrible mistake with ramifications for all of Brownsville. Richard’s son Jason, in an effort to flout society's expectations, throws himself into the bohemian counterculture of the 1970s, but he eventually finds himself an unwilling participant in Brooklyn's gentrification. Jason’s half-white daughter Sadie returns to Brownsville as a journalist and desires to be perceived as a “person of color” but must confront the ways both she and her ancestors have perpetuated anti-Blackness. Meanwhile, activist and artist Letitia Rodriguez Armstrong, a tenant of Richard Chin's, wages a lifelong fight for community control that first challenges and then remakes the Chins. Livonia Chow Mein is thus also the story of Letitia's struggle to become a better activist and to remain resilient in the face of structural racism and systemic violence. The book depicts urban policy in Brooklyn over the course of the 20th century and explores the relationships between Jewish, Black, and Chinese communities in the borough.M.F.A.Includes bibliographical reference

    Multigraded Cayley-Chow Forms

    No full text
    We introduce a theory of multigraded Cayley-Chow forms associated to subvarieties of products of projective spaces. Two new phenomena arise: first, the construction turns out to require certain inequalities on the dimensions of projections; and second, in positive characteristic the multigraded Cayley-Chow forms can have higher multiplicities. The theory also provides a natural framework for understanding multifocal tensors in computer vision

    The Chow Motives of Relative Fulton-Macpherson Space

    No full text
    Suppose that XX is a complex nonsingular projective variety and DD is a smooth divisor. Compactifications of configuration spaces of distinct and non-distinct nn points in XX away from DD were constructed by the author and B. Kim in "A generalization of Fulton-MacPherson configuration spaces" by using the method of wonderful compactification. In this paper, we give explicit presentations of Chow motives and Chow groups of these configuration spaces

    On Chow rings of quiver moduli

    No full text
    We describe the point class and Todd class in the Chow ring of a quiver moduli space, building on a result of Ellingsrud-Str{\o}mme. This, together with the presentation of the Chow ring by the second author, makes it possible to compute integrals on quiver moduli. To do so we construct a canonical morphism of universal representations in great generality, and along the way point out its relation to the Kodaira-Spencer morphism. We illustrate the results by computing some invariants of some "small" Kronecker moduli spaces. We also prove that the first non-trivial (6-dimensional) Kronecker quiver moduli space is isomorphic to the zero locus of a general section of Q(1)\mathcal{Q}^\vee(1) on Gr(2,8)\operatorname{Gr}(2,8).Comment: 18 pages, now proves the conjecture from v1 and includes data on more Kronecker modul

    p-adic deformation of motivic Chow groups

    No full text
    This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Deutsche Mathematiker via the DOI in this record.For a smooth projective scheme Y over W(k) we consider an element in the motivic Chow group of the reduction Ym over the truncated Witt ring Wm(k) and give a “Hodge” criterion - using the crystalline cycle class in relative crystalline cohomology - for the element to lift to the continuous Chow group of the associated p-adic formal scheme Y•. The result extends previous work of Bloch-EsnaultKerz on the p-adic variational Hodge conjecture to a relative setting. In the course of the proof we derive two new results on the relative de Rham-Witt complex and its Nygaard filtration, and work with a relative version of syntomic complexes to define relative motivic complexes for a smooth lifting of Ym over the ind-scheme Spec W•(Wm(k))
