    Ding–Iohara–Miki symmetry of network matrix models

    No full text
    AbstractWard identities in the most general “network matrix model” from [1] can be described in terms of the Ding–Iohara–Miki algebras (DIM). This confirms an expectation that such algebras and their various limits/reductions are the relevant substitutes/deformations of the Virasoro/W-algebra for (q,t) and (q1,q2,q3) deformed network matrix models. Exhaustive for these purposes should be the Pagoda triple-affine elliptic DIM, which corresponds to networks associated with 6d gauge theories with adjoint matter (double elliptic systems). We provide some details on elliptic qq-characters

    Transformation of the Financial Sector in Indonesia

    Introduction : The source and deployment of finance are central issues in economic development. Since 1966, when the Soeharto Administration was inaugurated, Indonesian economic development has relied on funds in the form of aid from international organizations and foreign countries. After the 1990s, a further abundant inflow of capital sustained a rapid economic development. Foreign funding was the basis of Indonesian economic growth. This paper will describe the mechanism for allocating funds in the Indonesian economy. It will identify the problems this mechanism generated in the Indonesian experience, and it will attempt to explain why there was a collapse of the financial system in the wake of the Asian Currency Crisis of 1997. History of the Indonesian Financial system The year 1966 saw the emergence of commercial banks in Indonesia. It can be said that before 1966 a financial system hardly existed, a fact commonly attributed to economic disruptions like the consecutive runs of fiscal deficit and hyperinflation under the Soekarno Administration. After 1996, with the inauguration of Soeharto, a regulatory system of financial legislation, e.g. central banking law and banking regulation, was introduced and implemented, and the banking sector that is the basis of the current financial system in Indonesia was built up. The Indonesian financial structure was significantly altered at the first financial reform of 1983. Between 1966 and 1982, the banking sector consisted of Bank Indonesia (the Central Bank) and the state-owned banks. There was also a system for distributing the abundant public revenue derived from the soaring oil price of the 1970s. The public finance distribution function, incorporated in Indonesian financial system, changed after the successive financial reforms of 1983 and 1988, when there was a move away from the monopoly-market style dominated by state-owned banks (which was a system of public finance distribution that operated at the discretion of the government) towards a modern market mechanism. The five phases of development The Indonesian financial system developed in five phases between 1966 and the present time. The first period (1966-72) was its formative period, the second (1973-82) its policy based finance period under soaring oil prices, the third (1983-91) its financial-reform period, the fourth (1992-97) its period of expansion, and the fifth (1998-) its period of financial restructuring. The first section of this paper summarizes the financial policies operative during each of the periods identified above. In the second section changes to the financial sector in response to policies are examined, and an analysis of these changes shows that an important development of the financial sector occurred during the financial reform period. In the third section the focus of analysis shifts from the general financial sector to particular commercial banks's performances. In the third section changes in commercial banks' lending and fund-raising behaviour after the 1990s are analysed by comparing several banking groups in terms of their ownership and foundation time. The last section summarizes the foregoing analyses and examines the problems that remain in the Indonesian financial sector, which is still undergoing restructuring.Financial system, Indonesia, Economic development, International funding, Financial reform, Financial policy

    Taxonomic revision of Pinus fujiii (Yasui) Miki (Pinaceae) and its implications for the phytogeography of the section Trifoliae in east Asia

    Pinus trifolia Miki 1939 (Pinaceae) was originally proposed based on seed cones from the upper Miocene of Aichi and Gifu Prefectures, central Japan. However, before the publication of P. trifolia, a different name (Pinus fujiii (Yasui) Miki) was given to a female cone with the same morphology. On the other hand, P. fujiii auct. non (Yasui) Miki has been used for seed cones with different morphologies from Yasui's holotype, i.e., apophyses arranged in 5:8 parastichies and a perexcentromucronate slightly-pointed umbo. As a result of re-examination on the Miki and Yasui specimens, we concluded that P. trifolia was a synonym for P. fujiii and proposed here Pinus mikii sp. nov. for cones assigned to P. fujiii auct. non (Yasui) Miki. We also emended the diagnosis of P. fujiii based on these specimens. Pinus fujiii is characterized by a large female cone in which the apophyses with a centromucronate prickle-like umbo are arranged in 8:13 parastichies, and deciduous seed wings. These characters suggest that P. fujiii belongs to the section Trifoliae of the subgenus Pinus, which is now restricted to North and Central America and the Caribbean islands. Fossil data suggest that the P. fujiii lineage firstly appeared in Japan around the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. We speculate that the P. fujiii lineage might have moved southward to Japan from a refugium located elsewhere in high-latitude areas in response to the late Eocene cooling event, as occurred with other Trifoliae species in North America. © 2015 Yamada et al.

    Resenha de Livro: Fronteiras da Cidadania. Uma História Negra e Indígena do Brasil Pós-colonial, de Yuko Miki

    The book by historian Yuko Miki represents an outstanding effort to combine two academic fields that have developed independently and rarely communicate with each other: studies on indigenous groups and studies on African-descendend peoples. Her goal is to understand the shared stories and the sometimes divergent trajectories of indigenous and African-descended populations that inhabited a region the author calls the «Atlantic frontier», during the period of the Brazilian Empire (1822-1889). The study shows that this type of academic integration can advance our understanding of nineteenth-century history. It also constitutes an exceptional example of a regional history that makes important contributions to key historiography about Brazil.El libro de la historiadora Yuko Miki constituye un destacado esfuerzo por poner a dialogar dos tradiciones académicas que se han desarrollado de forma independiente y rara vez se comunican: los estudios sobre indígenas y sobre afrodescendientes. Su objetivo es entender las historias compartidas y las trayectorias, a veces divergentes, de las poblaciones indígenas y afrodescendientes que habitaron una región que la autora identifica como «frontera atlántica» durante el período del Imperio brasileño (1822-1889). La obra no solo demuestra lo fructífera que puede ser tal integración académica para entender la historia del siglo XIX, sino que es un ejemplo excepcional de una historia regional que hace aportes indudables en algunos temas clave de la historiografía sobre Brasil.O livro da historiadora Yuko Miki é um esforço notável para colocar em diálogo duas tradições acadêmicas que se desenvolveram de forma independente e raramente são comunicadas: estudos indígenas e afrodescendentes.
