    First evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)

    We consider the equation (1) where Ω is a smooth and bounded domain in Rn, ν the outer unit normal to ∂Ω, and a a smooth function satisfying −10} and {a<0}. Assuming ∇a≠0 on K and a≠0 on ∂Ω, we show that there exists a sequence εj→0 such that Eq. (1) has a solution uεj which converges uniformly to ±1 on the compact sets of Ω± as j→+∞. This result settles in general dimension a conjecture posed in [P. Fife, M.W. Greenlee, Interior transition layers of elliptic boundary value problem with a small parameter, Russian Math. Surveys 29 (4) (1974) 103–131], proved in [M. del Pino, M. Kowalczyk, J. Wei, Resonance and interior layers in an inhomogeneous phase transition model, SIAM J. Math.

    Cultural identities as reflected in the literature of the Northern and Southern dynasties period (4th-6th centuries A.D.)

    Full text link
    During the period of the Northern and Southern dynasties of China identity questions became serious in a society thrown into disorder by political, religious and ethnic problems. This thesis uses three books written in the sixth century to discuss how educated Chinese faced identity problems and how they dealt with them. The Buddhist monk Huijiao, dealt with the problems of sinifying a foreign religion. He constructed many different identities in addition to the Buddhist one for the monks in his book Gaoseng zhuan, (Lives of Eminent Monks), a collection of biographies of Buddhist monks, to bring Buddhism closer to Chinese tradition and more acceptable by Confucian standards. Through the identity construction he also made responses to anti-Buddhist ideas. Yang Xuanzhi's Luoyang qielan ji, (Record of the Monasteries of Luoyang), deals with the identity problems of Chinese officials serving a Xianbei regime in the north and of the short-lived capital of the Northern Wei in Luoyang. Yang reconstructed a Chinese identity for the lost capital as a true heir of Chinese tradition, as were the emperors, princes and officials who lived there. He created an identity defined not by ethnicity but by culture. Yan Zhitui's Tanshi jiaxun, (Family Instruction of the Yan Clan), is a book which tells his descendants how to construct and maintain the future identity of his own family. He drew on his own experience of recovering from repeated political catastrophes to set out an identity that would help the family to survive disordered times and maintain their status in society

    Standing waves in the Maxwell-Schrödinger equation and an optimal configuration problem

    No full text
    We study the system of Maxwell-Schro ̈dinger equations ∆u−u−δuψ+f(u)=0, ∆ψ+u2 =0 in RN, where δ>0, u,ψ:RN→R, u,ψ>0, u,ψ→0 as |x|→+∞, and f:R→R,N≥3. We prove that the set of solutions has a rich structure; more precisely, for any integer K there exists δK>0 such that, for 0<δ<δK, the system has a solution (uδ,ψδ) with the property that uδ has K spikes centered at the points Q_δ1,...,Q_δK. Furthermore, for lδ = mini̸=j |Q_δi −Q_δj|, then, as δ → 0, ((1/lδ) Q_δ1,...,(1/lδ) Q_δK) approaches an optimal configuration for the following maximization problem: max{Σi≠j 1/|Q_i-Q_j|^{N-2} |(Qi,...,QK)∈R^NK,|Q_i-Q_j|≥1 for i≠j
