The André-Pink conjecture : Hecke orbits and weakly special subvarieties
No full textLa conjecture d'André-Pink affirme qu'une sous-variété d'une variété de Shimura ayant une intersection dense avec une orbite de Hecke est faiblement spéciale. On démontre cette conjecture dans le cas de courbes dans une variété de Shimura de type abélien, ainsi que dans certains cas de sous-variétés de dimension supérieure. Ceci est un cas spécial de la conjecture de Zilber-Pink. C'est une généralisation de théorèmes d'Edixhoven et Yafaev quand l'orbite de Hecke se compose de points spéciaux, de Pink quand l'orbite de Hecke se compose de points Galois génériques, et de Habegger et Pila quand la variété de Shimura est un produit de courbes modulaires. Notre démonstration de la conjecture d'André-Pink pour les courbes dans l'espace de modules des variétés abéliennes principalement polarisées est basée sur la méthode de Pila et Zannier, utilisant une variante forte du théorème de comptage de Pila-Wilkie. On obtient les bornes galoisiennes requises grâce au théorème d'isogénie de Masser et Wüstholz. Afin de relier les bornes sur les isogénies aux hauteurs, on démontre également diverses bornes concernant l'arithmétique des formes hermitiennes sur l'anneau d'endomorphismes d'une variété abélienne. Afin d'étendre le résultat sur la conjecture d'André-Pink aux courbes dans les variétés de Shimura de type abélien et à certains cas de sous-variétés de dimension supérieure, on étudie les propriétés fonctorielles de plusieurs variantes des orbites de Hecke. Un chapitre concerne les rangs des groupes de Mumford-Tate de variétés abéliennes complexes. On y démontre une minoration de ces rangs en fonction de la dimension de la variété abélienne, étant donné que ses sous-variétés abéliennes simples sont deux à deux non isogènes.The André-Pink conjecture predicts that a subvariety of a Shimura variety which has dense intersection with a Hecke orbit is weakly special. We prove this conjecture for curves in a Shimura variety of abelian type, as well as for certain cases for subvarieties of higher dimension. This is a special case of the Zilber-Pink conjecture. It generalises theorems of Edixhoven and Yafaev when the Hecke orbit consists of special points, of Pink when the Hecke orbit consists of Galois generic points, and of Habegger and Pila when the Shimura variety is a product of modular curves. Our proof of the André-Pink conjecture for curves in the moduli space of principally polarised abelian varieties is based on the Pila-Zannier method, using a strong form of the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem. The necessary Galois bounds are obtained from the Masser-Wüstholz isogeny theorem. In order to relate isogeny bounds to heights, we also prove various bounds concerning the arithmetic of Hermitian forms over the endomorphism ring of an abelian variety. In order to extend the result on the André-Pink conjecture to curves in Shimura varieties of abelian type and to some cases of higher-dimensional subvarieties, we study the functorial properties of Hecke orbits and variations thereof. One chapter concerns the ranks of Mumford-Tate groups of complex abelian varieties. We prove a lower bound for these ranks in terms of the dimension of the abelian variety, subject to the condition that the simple abelian subvarieties are pairwise non-isogenous
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Around the Zilber-Pink Conjecture for Shimura Varieties
No full textDans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à l'étude de l'arithmétique et de la géométrie des variétés de Shimura. Cette thèse s'est essentiellement organisée autour de trois volets. Dans la première partie, on étudie certaines applications de la théorie des modèles en théorie des nombres. En 2014, Pila et Tsimerman ont donné une preuve de la conjecture d'Ax-Schanuel pour la fonction j et, avec Mok, ont récemment annoncé une preuve de sa généralisation à toute variété de Shimura. Nous nous référons à cette généralisation comme à la conjecture d'Ax-Schanuel hyperbolique. Dans ce projet, nous cherchons à généraliser les idées de Habegger et Pila pour montrer que, sous un certain nombre d'hypothèses arithmétiques, la conjecture d'Ax-Schanuel hyperbolique implique, par une extension de la stratégie de Pila-Zannier, la conjecture de Zilber-Pink pour les variétés de Shimura. Nous concluons en vérifiant toutes ces hypothèses arithmétiques à l'exception d'une seule dans le cas d'un produit de courbes modulaires, en admettant la conjecture dite des grandes orbites de Galois. Il s'agit d'un travail en commun avec Christopher Daw. La seconde partie est consacrée à un résultat cohomologique en direction de la conjecture de Zilber-Pink. Étant donné un groupe algébrique semi-simple sur un corps de nombres F contenu dans ℝ, nous démontrons que deux sous-groupes algébriques semi-simples définis sur F sont conjugués sur F, si et seulement s'il le sont sur une extension réelle finie de F de degré majoré indépendamment des sous-groupes choisis. Il s'agit d'un travail en commun avec Mikhail Borovoi et Christopher Daw. La troisième partie étudie la distribution des variétés de Shimura compactes. On rappelle qu'une variété de Shimura S de dimension 1 est toujours compacte sauf si S est une courbe modulaire. Nous généralisons cette observation en définissant une fonction de hauteur dans l'espace des variétés de Shimura associée à un groupe réductif réel donné. Dans le cas des groupes unitaires, on prouve que la densité des variétés de Shimura non-compactes est nulle.In this thesis, we study some arithmetic and geometric problems for Shimura varieties. This thesis consists of three parts. In the first part, we study some applications of model theory to number theory. In 2014, Pila and Tsimerman gave a proof of the Ax-Schanuel conjecture for the j-function and, with Mok, have recently announced a proof of its generalization to any (pure) Shimura variety. We refer to this generalization as the hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel conjecture. In this article, we show that the hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel conjecture can be used to reduce the Zilber-Pink conjecture for Shimura varieties to a problem of point counting. We further show that this point counting problem can be tackled in a number of cases using the Pila-Wilkie counting theorem and several arithmetic conjectures. Our methods are inspired by previous applications of the Pila-Zannier method and, in particular, the recent proof by Habegger and Pila of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in abelian varieties. This is joint work with Christopher Daw. The second part is devoted to a Galois cohomological result towards the proof of the Zilber-Pink conjecture. Let G be a linear algebraic group over a field k of characteristic 0. We show that any two connected semisimple k-subgroups of G that are conjugate over an algebraic closure of kare actually conjugate over a finite field extension of k of degree bounded independently of the subgroups. Moreover, if k is a real number field, we show that any two connected semisimple k-subgroups of G that are conjugate over the field of real numbers ℝ are actually conjugate over a finite real extension of k of degree bounded independently of the subgroups. This is joint work with Mikhail Borovoi and Christopher Daw. Finally, in the third part, we consider the distribution of compact Shimura varieties. We recall that a Shimura variety S of dimension 1 is always compact unless S is a modular curve. We generalize this observation by defining a height function in the space of Shimura varieties attached to a fixed real reductive group. In the case of unitary groups, we prove that the density of non-compact Shimura varieties is zero
