Extremal Kähler Metrics Induced by Finite or Infinite-Dimensional Complex Space Forms
Full text linkIn this paper, we address the problem of studying those complex manifolds M equipped with extremal metrics g induced by finite or infinite-dimensional complex space forms. We prove that when g is assumed to be radial and the ambient space is finite-dimensional, then (M, g) is itself a complex space form. We extend this result to the infinite-dimensional setting by imposing the strongest assumption that the metric g has constant scalar curvature and is well behaved (see Definition 1 in the Introduction). Finally, we analyze the radial Kähler–Einstein metrics induced by infinite-dimensional elliptic complex space forms and we show that if such a metric is assumed to satisfy a stability condition then it is forced to have constant nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature
Symplectic capacities of hermitian symmetric spaces of compact and noncompact type
No full textInspired by the work of G. Lu on pseudo symplectic capacities we obtain several results on the Gromov width and the Hofer-Zehnder capacity of Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type. Our results and proofs extend those obtained by Lu for complex Grassmannians to Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type. We also compute the Gromov width and the Hofer-Zehnder capacity for Cartan domains and their products
Riemannian geometry of Hartogs domains
Full text linkThis paper contains several results on the Riemannian geometry of the so called Hartogs domain
Kähler–Ricci solitons induced by infinite-dimensional complex space forms
Full text linkWe exhibit families of nontrivial (i.e., not Kähler–Einstein) radial Kähler–Ricci solitons (KRS), both complete and not complete, which can be Kähler immersed into infinite-dimensional complex space forms. This shows that the triviality of a KRS induced by a finite-dimensional complex space form proved by Loi and Mossa (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 149:11 (2020), 4931–4941) does not hold when the ambient space is allowed to be infinite-dimensional. Moreover, we show that the radial potential of a radial KRS induced by a nonelliptic complex space form is necessarily defined at the origin
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
