Tropical Constructions and Lifts

1 The Algebraic Torus and M Let K denote a field of characteristic zero and K∗ denote the associated multiplicative group. A character on (K∗)n is a monomial in the associated Laurent polynomial ring with coefficient 1. For example, (K∗)2 has coordinate ring K[x±1, y±1] and characters on (K∗)2 are of the form xy for i, j ∈ Z. (K∗)n is called the algebraic n-torus. First we must describe functio...

Complex multiplication and canonical lifts

The problem of constructing CM invariants of higher dimensional abelian varieties presents significant new challenges relative to CM constructions in dimension 1. Algorithms for p-adic canonical lifts give rise to very efficient means of constructing high-precision approximations to CM points on moduli spaces of abelian varieties. In particular, algorithms for 2-adic and 3-adic lifting of Frobe...

Reoperative face and neck lifts.

The complexity of the reoperative facelift or neck lift is directly related to the way the primary procedure was performed. Regardless of the primary technique used, the secondary procedure should be directed to the specific problems that the patient exhibits, such as scars, earlobe deformity, hair pattern changes, laxity in the upper face or neck, jowling, or deepening of the nasolabial folds....
