    Thomas Grisell letter to Thomas Rotch, 2nd mo 19th 1823

    No full text
    Thomas Grisell's letter reached the Rotch household several months before the unexpected death of Thomas Rotch in August, 1823. This is the last letter of the series and presumably the author learned of his friend's death before another letter was penned. 7.95" x 10" (20.2 by 25.5 cm

    An example of limit of Lempert Functions

    No full text
    16 pages; references added to related work of the authorInternational audienceThe Lempert function for several poles a0,...,aNa_0, ..., a_N in a domain Ω\Omega of Cn\mathbb C^n is defined at the point zΩz \in \Omega as the infimum of j=0Nlogζj\sum^N_{j=0} \log|\zeta_j| over all the choices of points ζj\zeta_j in the unit disk so that one can find a holomorphic mapping from the disk to the domain Ω\Omega sending 0 to zz. This is always larger than the pluricomplex Green function for the same set of poles, and in general different. Here we look at the asymptotic behavior of the Lempert function for three poles in the bidisk (the origin and one on each axis) as they all tend to the origin. The limit of the Lempert functions (if it exists) exhibits the following behavior: along all complex lines going through the origin, it decreases like (3/2)logz(3/2) \log |z|, except along three exceptional directions, where it decreases like 2logz2 \log |z|. The (possible) limit of the corresponding Green functions is not known, and this gives an upper bound for it

    Convergence and multiplicities for the Lempert function

    No full text
    24 pages; a new section has been added to compare with previous work (see math.CV/0206214)International audienceGiven a domain OmegasubsetmathbbCOmega subset mathbb C, the Lempert function is a functional on the space Hol(D,Omega)Hol (D,Omega) of analytic disks with values in OmegaOmega, depending on a set of poles in OmegaOmega. We generalize its definition to the case where poles have multiplicities given by local indicators (in the sense of Rashkovskii's work) to obtain a function which still dominates the corresponding Green function, behaves relatively well under limits, and is monotonic with respect to the indicators. In particular, this is an improvement over the previous generalization used by the same authors to find an example of a set of poles in the bidisk so that the (usual) Green and Lempert functions differ

    Failed Censures: Ecclesiastical Regulation of Women’s Clothing in Late Medieval Italy

    No full text
    Churchmen in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries tried to regulate the costume of Italian women. These efforts failed, and regulation was largely left thereafter to civic authorities.The published version was published as Chapter 3 in Medieval Clothing and Textiles 5Izbicki, Thomas M.
