K-Théorie Algébrique et Symboles Modulaires
No full textDans son preprint, M. Bruno Kahn a construit une suite spectrale par rang en utilisant la méthode catégorique. Cette suite spectrale est construit par une filtration de la catégorie des modules sans-torsion de type fini d'un anneau intègre A ce qui explique le nom : suite spectrale par rangs. Cette suite spectrale converge vers les groupes d'homologies de la Q-construction de la catégorie de A-modules sans torsion de type fini et elle été utilisé par Quillen pour prouver que les K-groupes sont de génération finie pour anneau d'intègres d'un corps de nombres. Notre but de cette thèse est de calculer le différentiel de la suite spectrale par rangs qui peut servit comme une première étape d'une idée générale d'unifier les calculs de rangs des K-groupes de la courbe sur un corps fini (G. Harder) et la courbe arithmétique (A. Borel). Pour gagner ça, nous étudions le foncteur cellulaire (connexe) et les constructions de Grothendieck en détail, en particulier ses propriétés homotopiques. En utilisant ça, nous pouvons mettre le différentiel dans certain triangles distingués de foncteurs sur une catégorie, puis nous réalisons ces foncteurs explicits en langages d'immeuble de Tits, module de Steinberg et symbole modulaire au sens d'Ash-Rudolph. Nous avons aussi obliger de fabriquer un autre symbole : le symbole étendu pour étudier l'homologie de la suspension d'immeuble de Tits, mais nous montons que ce symbole est équivalent que symbole modulaire.Bruno Kahn has constructed a rank spectral sequence by using a purely categorical approach. This spectral sequence was derived by using a filtration of the category of torsion-free modules over integral domain by ranks and hence the name: rank spectral sequence. This spectral sequence converges to the homology groups of the Q-construction over the category of finitely generated torsion-free modules over an integral ring. Quillen used it in the proof of the finite generation of K-groups of rings of integers. Our goal in this thesis is to calculate the differential of the rank spectral sequence. We believe that this is a first step towards a much bigger project, that is, to unify the calculation of the ranks of K-groups of curves over a finite field (result of G. Harder) and of arithmetic curves (result of A. Borel).To achieve our goal, we put the differential in certain distinguished triangles of coefficients/functors over some categories, and make these functors explicit in terms of Tits building and Ash-Rudolph's modular symbols. To accomplish this, we shall use Quillen's categorical homotopy theory intensively and introduce the notion of extended (modular) symbols which is equivalent to Ash-Rudolph's via the suspension of Tits buildings

Discovering the contributions of academic wives to the development of labour law : Liesel Kahn-Freund
No full textThis article’s starting point is a strand of historical and sociological studies literature on ‘academic wives’ which reveals the social and, above all, unpaid labour that facilitated an academic career up until the mid-twentieth century. The article then draws on primary and secondary sources in order to trace the life of Otto Kahn-Freund’s wife, Elisabeth (Liesel) Kahn-Freund. We suggest that Liesel was an indispensable facilitator of her husband’s career. She provided valuable scholarly and intellectual support; by taking on responsibility for domestic tasks and care responsibilities, she gave her husband uninterrupted time and space to build his network, travel internationally, and, perhaps most importantly, concentrate on and pursue his research. In doing so, she, and many like her, played a significant albeit largely unrecognised role in the creation of labour law as we now know it. A better understanding of the labour performed by an “academic wife” provides a more nuanced picture of where labour law has come from and the factors that went into its creation. It also encourages labour law scholars to re-evaluate what kind of labour is recognised as part of labour law and is the focus of future labour law scholarship
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Nearly Fuchsian surface subgroups of finite covolume Kleinian groups
No full textLet Gamma < PSL_2(C) be discrete, cofinite volume, and noncocompact. We prove
that for all K > 1, there is a subgroup H < Gamma that is K-quasiconformally
conjugate to a discrete cocompact subgroup of PSL_2(R). Along with previous
work of Kahn and Markovic, this proves that every finite covolume Kleinian
group has a nearly Fuchsian surface subgroup.Comment: v2: Final prepublication versio
