    Let Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞). The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)

    Il volume raccoglie le versioni, approfondite e rielaborate, delle relazioni discusse in occasione del convegno dal titolo “Politica e amministrazione. Etica, managerialità e responsabilità”, organizzato in onore di Gianfranco D’Alessio. L’oggetto di analisi, la dirigenza amministrativa, è discusso e analizzato, da un lato, in relazione ai principi costituzionali di imparzialità e di buon andamento della Pubblica Amministrazione e, dall’altro, al rapporto che questa instaura con gli organi politici. Il tema è affrontato con approcci variegati e da prospettive molteplici, secondo una impostazione che riflette la pluralità delle competenze e delle esperienze, professionali ed accademiche di ciascun autore.The volume collects the expanded and revised versions of the presentations discussed during the conference titled "Politics and Administration. Ethics, Managerialism, and Accountability," organized in honour of Gianfranco D’Alessio. The focus is on administrative leadership, discussed and analysed from two perspectives. Firstly, in relation to the constitutional principles of impartiality and good administration. Secondly, with reference to the relationship it establishes with political bodies. The topic is approached from various angles and multiple perspectives, reflecting the diversity of skills and experiences, both professional and academic, of each author

    Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection

    No full text
    We report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either

    Let F be a non-archimedean local field with residual characteristic p, and k an algebraically closed field with characteristic l, where l different from p. Let Rep_k(SL_n(F)) be the category of smooth k-representations of SL_n(F). In this work, we establish the block decomposition of Rep_k(SL_n(F)) under the condition that p does not divide the order of the Weyl group of SL_n(F).Affiliation changed. The author corrects some errors in section 4 and section 5 in the previous versio

Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Educa??o, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2015.Higher education in Brazil and in the world is set in a context of constant change. The challenges that universities face such as the pressure to increase the number of openings, to insert technologies, and to meet competitiveness are strongly related to the potential relevance they may achieve in their countries. Brazilian public universities are considered extremely bureaucratic and too slow in executing their demands, especially being the locus of knowledge. Public service management is a topic of great interest throughout the country, especially when it comes to the management of materials, technology, personnel and financial resources, as it affects the welfare of the whole society and the economic development of the country. This research was developed from a historical perspective on the changes that are happening within the Federal Public Universities, using as object of study the Administrative Academic Units set at the JK Campus of Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM). The methodology adopted was that of exploratory research through the documentary analysis method As reference, UFVJM normative documents, Statute and General Regiment were used, , besides the normative documents kept in the campus? Academic Units. The results point to documentary disorganization, lack of norms in the units, as well as lack of clarity regarding duties and liabilities. The Academic Units structured in departments have presented better quantitative results in terms of research and extension essential elements for the establishment of a University

    Effect of tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanotubes on structural, morphological and mechanical properties of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) films

    No full text
    Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) is a semicrystalline, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer widely employed in many applications (food packaging, biomedical devices, drug delivery systems). This work deals with nanocomposites of PLLA and tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanotubes (NTs) as a novel material to obtain thinner and stronger bioresorbable vascular scaffolds. We studied the influence of WS2 NTs on the mechanical properties of PLLA-WS2 films. Polarized optical microscopy reveals a high degree of orientation of the polymer molecules in stretched films that further increases with a post-stretching annealing treatment. At the same time, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirm enhancement of the crystallinity induced by the WS2 NTs. © 2018 Author(s)

    L-invariants for cohomological representations of PGL(2) over arbitrary number fields

    No full text
    Gehrmann L, Pati MR. L-invariants for cohomological representations of PGL(2) over arbitrary number fields. Forum of Mathematics, Sigma. 2024;12: e71.**Abstract** Let π\pi be a cuspidal, cohomological automorphic representation of an inner form G of PGL2\operatorname {{PGL}}_2 over a number field F of arbitrary signature. Further, let p\mathfrak {p} be a prime of F such that G is split at p\mathfrak {p} and the local component πp\pi _{\mathfrak {p}} of π\pi at p\mathfrak {p} is the Steinberg representation. Assuming that the representation is noncritical at p\mathfrak {p} , we construct automorphic L\mathcal {L} -invariants for the representation π\pi . If the number field F is totally real, we show that these automorphic L\mathcal {L} -invariants agree with the Fontaine–Mazur L\mathcal {L} -invariant of the associated p -adic Galois representation. This generalizes a recent result of Spieß respectively Rosso and the first named author from the case of parallel weight 22 to arbitrary cohomological weights. </p
