Does the Lunar Surface Still Offer Value As a Site for Astronomical Observatories?
Current thinking about the Moon as a destination has revitalized interest in lunar astronomical observatories. Once seen by a large scientific community as a highly enabling site, the dramatic improvement in capabilities for free-space observatories prompts reevaluation of this interest. Whereas the lunar surface offers huge performance advantages for astronomy over terrestrial sites, free-spac...
متن کاملMicrobundles and Thom Classes
In this note we introduce Thorn classes of microbundles. We determine the Thorn class of the Whitney sum as the cup product of Thorn classes and state two applications ; one to Gysin sequences of Whitney sums and one to the Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro duality theorem for Thorn spaces (cf. Atiyah [2]). Thus our main result states tha t for microbundles /xi, JU2 over a compact (topological) manifold X, i...
متن کاملMegalithic science and some Scottish site plans
'A cairn supported at its edge by large stones may be removed .... The ring which is left looks like a stone circle.' (Thorn, 1967, 65). Professor A. Thorn has surveyed a large number of archaeological sites (Thorn, 1967; 1971). These surveys provide the basis from which he deduces the existence of the Megalithic Yard (MY), Megalithic Geometry and Megalithic Astronomy. In considering his eviden...
متن کاملThe Motivic Thom Isomorphism
The existence of a good theory of Thom isomorphisms in some rational category of mixed Tate motives would permit a nice interpolation between ideas of Kontsevich on deformation quantization, and ideas of Connes and Kreimer on a Galois theory of renormalization, mediated by Deligne’s ideas on motivic Galois groups.
متن کاملThe Symplectic Thom Conjecture
In this paper, we demonstrate a relation among Seiberg-Witten invariants which arises from embedded surfaces in four-manifolds whose self-intersection number is negative. These relations, together with Taubes’ basic theorems on the Seiberg-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds, are then used to prove the Symplectic Thom Conjecture: a symplectic surface in a symplectic four-manifold is genus...
