Anelastic properties beneath the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone, Japan

We estimate the three-dimensional (3D) P-wave attenuation structure beneath the Niigata–Kobe Tectonic Zone (NKTZ), central Japan, using high-quality waveform data from a large number of stations. The obtained results confirm the segmentation of the NKTZ into three regions, as suggested by 3D seismic velocity models, and reveal characteristic structures related to surface deformation, shallow su...

Special Lagrangian fibrations. I. Topology,” Integrable systems and algebraic geometry (Kobe/Kyoto

Yau and Zaslow made a surprising conjecture about pairs of mirror manifolds, which, if true, should at last provide a true geometric understanding of mirror symmetry. Simply put, string theory suggests that if X andˇX are mirror pairs of n-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds, then on X there should exist a special Lagrangian n-torus fibration f : X → B, (with some singular fibres) such thatˇX is o...
