    Resonances and residue operators for pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic spaces

    For any pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic space XX over R,C,H\mathbb{R},\mathbb{C},\mathbb{H} or O\mathbb{O}, we show that the resolvent R(z)=(zId)1R(z)=(\Box-z\operatorname{Id})^{-1} of the Laplace-Beltrami operator -\Box on XX can be extended meromorphically across the spectrum of \Box as a family of operators Cc(X)D(X)C_c^\infty(X)\to \mathcal{D}'(X). Its poles are called resonances and we determine them explicitly in all cases. For each resonance, the image of the corresponding residue operator in D(X)\mathcal{D}'(X) forms a representation of the isometry group of XX, which we identify with a subrepresentation of a degenerate principal series. Our study includes in particular the case of even functions on de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter spaces. For Riemannian symmetric spaces analogous results were obtained by Miatello-Will and Hilgert-Pasquale. The main qualitative differences between the Riemannian and the non-Riemannian setting are that for non-Riemannian spaces the resolvent can have poles of order two, it can have a pole at the branching point of the covering to which R(z)R(z) extends, and the residue representations can be infinite-dimensional.Comment: 23 pages, final published versio

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
