Refinement of Kool-Thomas Invariant via Equivariant K-theoretic invariants
No full textWe are defining a refinement of Kool-Thomas invariants via K-theoretic invariants proposed by Nekrasov and Okounkov. We introduce two K-theory class on the moduli space that contain the information of the incidence of a point with a curve supporting a stable pair (F,s). The evaluation at t=1 of the contribution of pairs supported on S to the K-theoretic invariants gives the Kool-Thomas invariants. Moreover, the generating function of this contribution contains the same information with the generating function given by the refined curve counting on complex surfaces defined by Göttsche and Shend
Western medieval legal manuscripts in the collections of the University of Pennsylvania
No full textWestern legal manuscripts of the Middle Ages in North American collections are among the least known to scholars. The University of Pennsylvania has a rich collection of these texts, several of which were in the collection of the historian Henry Charles Lea. Included are works of civil law and canon law, as well as collections of papal letters and guides to pastoral care. The descriptions of most of these manuscripts in the catalog of Norman P. Zacour and Rudolf Hirsch are perfunctory, sometimes erring or omitting valuable information. Other manuscripts were added in recent years in the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection. Much of this material is being added to the Franklin online catalog of the University’s libraries, but researchers frequently do not search these digital resources. This article provides more complete guidance to the University’s medieval legal manuscripts than any of the existing catalogs offers, whether in print or online. It also provides updated bibliographic information in print or online. Every manuscript has been examined by the author in situ. Among the important works represented in the collection is the Panormia (a work of canon law often attributed to Ivo of Chartres). Authors present include the curialist Thomas of Capua, canonists Petrus de Braco, William of Pagula, Bernardus Raimundi, Adam of Aldersbach, Raymond of Peñafort, and civil lawyers Baldus de Ubaldis, and Bartolus de Saxoferrato. Three of these manuscripts were owned in the past by Sir Thomas Phillipps
