Wonderful Models for Generalized Dowling Arrangements
No full textFor any triple given by a positive integer n, a finite group G, and a faithful representation V of G, one can describe a subspace arrangement whose intersection lattice is a generalized Dowling lattice in the sense of Hanlon (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 325(1), 1–37, 1991). In this paper we construct the minimal De Concini-Procesi wonderful model associated to this subspace arrangement and give a description of its boundary. Our aim is to point out the nice poset provided by the intersections of the irreducible components in the boundary, which provides a geometric realization of the nested set poset of this generalized Dowling lattice. It can be represented by a family of forests with leaves and labelings that depend on the triple (n,G,V). We will study it from the enumerative point of view in the case when G is abelian

A note on representing dowling geometries by partitions
No full textsummary:We prove that a rank Dowling geometry of a group is partition representable if and only if is a Frobenius complement. This implies that Dowling group geometries are secret-sharing if and only if they are multilinearly representable

Rhopalomyia Dorchin, Mcevoy, Dowling, Abrahamson & Moore, 2009, n.sp.
No full textRhopalomyia n.sp. Adult: unstudied. Pupa: unstudied. Material examined: 3 males, 5 females, 2 pupae, USA, Gainesville, FL, 5 /V/ 1982, E. Fontes. Host: Solidago fistulosa Gall and biology: The galls of this species were found by E. Fontes in May and June of 1982 around Gainesville, Florida (Fontes et al. 1994). They developed on young stems, and seemed to have stunted the growth of the apical meristem, because galled ramets were usually only 30 cm tall and atypically branched under the galls. The galls are oval with a tapered tip, single-chambered, grayish, and are typically aggregated around a stem to form a “star-like” structure. Galls found in August were already dry except for one or two records. Remarks: The available material was insufficient for description of this species in the present work or for determining its relations to other Rhopalomyia species on goldenrods. The description of the galls provided to us by E. Fontes (pers. com.) is reminiscent of R. racemicola galls, but the galls of R. racemicola develop in inflorescences in late summer whereas those of the new species develop on stems in spring and early summer. We currently consider this species as undescribed based on its galls, and intend to describe it once additional material is obtained.Published as part of Dorchin, Netta, Mcevoy, Miles V., Dowling, Todd A., Abrahamson, Warren G. & Moore, Joseph G., 2009, Revision of the goldenrod-galling Rhopalomyia species (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in North America, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 2152 on page 33, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18874

Utopies Ecologiques
No full textA short study of ecological utopias in literature. After a brief consideration of the pastoral tradition from classical times up to the Romantic Age, the essay considers the American pastoral tradition, from Jefferson up to the present day. In most of this literature pastoral hankerings are solitary matters, with lone heroes fleeing the onrush of civilisation by escaping into the fast-disappearing wilderness. Utopian visions of a transformation of society as a whole tended, in American literature, to be on the side of technology, as in Edward Bellamy’s LOOKING BACKWARD. \ud
The first true Ecotopian novel was written in England in response to Bellamy’s vision: William Morris’s NEWS FROM NOWHERE (1890). Morris’s vision is of a re-countrified England. The central concept of the novel is the notion that contact with nature will ensure a fruitful and healthy life. There is undoubtedly an escapist element in the novel, which fails to convince the reader, for example, that the society depicted could actually manage to feed, clothe and heat itself adequately throughout the year.\ud
There were no immediate successors to Morris’s ecological utopia. In the 20th century, as environmental problems grew more pressing, writers voiced their concerns by writing dystopian visions of the future, as in the works of Huxley, Orwell, Brunner, Dick, Walter Miller and David Brin. Propositional imaginative writing is much rarer. The major work in this sense is Ernst Callenbach’s novel, Ecotopia (1978). Callenbach adopts the traditional device of the sceptical narrator who is gradually converted to the ideals of the society he observes. The novel has a sharper and more practical edge to it than Morris’s, as he even finds a way to accommodate the aggressive instinct in man, which is allowed to expend itself in ritual tribal wars
