Hodge theory for twisted differentials
No full textWe study cohomologies and Hodge theory for complex manifolds with twisted differentials. In
particular, we get another cohomological obstruction for manifolds in class C of Fujiki. We give a Hodgetheoretical
proof of the characterization of solvmanifolds in class C of Fujiki, first stated by D. Arapura
An extention of Nomizu’s Theorem –A user’s guide–
No full textFor a simply connected solvable Lie group G with a lattice Γ, the author constructed an explicit
finite-dimensional differential graded algebra A*Γ which computes the complex valued de Rham cohomology
H*(Γ\G, C) of the solvmanifold Γ\G. In this note, we give a quick introduction to the construction of such A*Γ including a simple proof of H*(A*Γ) ≅ H*(Γ\G, C)
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
Partially Hyperbolic Compact Complex Manifolds
No full textWe propose and investigate two types, the latter with two variants, of notions of partial hyperbolicity accounting for several classes of compact complex manifolds behaving hyperbolically in certain directions, defined by a vector subbundle of the holomorphic tangent bundle, but not necessarily in the other directions. A key role is played by certain entire holomorphic maps, possibly from a higher-dimensional space, into the given manifold X. The dimension of the origin C p of these maps is allowed to be arbitrary, unlike both the classical 1-dimensional case of entire curves and the 1-codimensional case introduced in previous work of the second-named author with S. Marouani. The higher-dimensional generality necessitates the imposition of certain growth conditions, very different from those in Nevanlinna theory and those in works by de Thélin, Burns and Sibony on Ahlfors currents, on the entire holomorphic maps f : C p -→ X. The way to finding these growth conditions is revealed by certain special, possibly non-Kähler, Hermitian metrics in the spirit of Gromov's Kähler hyperbolicity theory but in a higher-dimensional context. We then study several classes of examples, prove implications among our partial hyperbolicity notions, give a sufficient criterion for the existence of an Ahlfors current and a sufficient criterion for partial hyperbolicity in terms of the signs of two curvature-like objects introduced recently by the second-named author.</div
