Model categories in deformation theory
Full text linkThe aim is the formalization of Deformation Theory in an abstract model category, in order to study several geometric deformation problems from a unified point of view. The main geometric application is the description of the DG-Lie algebra controlling infinitesimal deformations of a separated scheme over a field of characteristic 0
The quotient of a complete symmetric variety.
No full textWe study the quotient of a completion of a symmetric variety G/ H under the action of H. We prove that this is isomorphic to the closure of the image of an isotropic torus under the action of the restricted Weyl group. In the case the completion is smooth and toroidal we describe the set of semistable points
Symmetries ofdifferential behaviors and finite group actions on free modulesover a polynomial ring
No full textIn this paper we study finite group symmetries of differential behaviors (i.e., kernels of linear constant coefficient partial differential operators). They lead us to study the actions of a finite group on free modules over a polynomial ring. We establish algebraic results which are then used to obtain canonical differential representations of symmetric differential behaviors. © 1993 Springer-Verlag London Limited
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Arithmetic properties of the cohomology of Artin groups
Full text linkIn this paper we compute the cohomology of all Artin groups associated to finite Coxeter groups, with coefficients in the following module Rq: let (Equation Presented) be the ring of rational Laurent polynomials and let Rq be given by the action defined by mapping each standard generator to the multiplication by Rq. Case An was already considered in a previous paper where the "cohomology table" has nice elementary arithmetic properties. Here also there are similar (more complicated) arithmetic properties for the infinite series, where the methods of proof are similar. For exceptional cases we used a suitable computer program
