We call a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of complete Riemannian manifolds with a lower bound of Ricci curvature a Ricci limit space. In this paper, we prove that any Ricci limit space has integral Hausdorff dimension provided that its Hausdorff dimension is not greater than two. We also classify one-dimensional Ricci limit spaces.

The map H → H↓ assigns to each finite-dimensional space of smooth functions a homogeneous polynomial space of the same dimension. We discuss applications of this map in the areas of multivariate polynomial interpolation, box spline theory and polynomial ideals. §

Matrix theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence provide nonperturbative holographic formulations of string theory. In both cases the finite N theories can be thought of as infrared regulated versions of flat space string theory in which removing the cutoff is equivalent to letting N go to infinity. In this paper we consider the nature of this limit. In both cases the holographic mapping becomes co...

We study the limiting behavior of viscous incompressible flows when the fluid domain is allowed to expand as the viscosity vanishes. We describe precise conditions under which the limiting flow satisfies the full space Euler equations. The argument is based on truncation and on energy estimates, following the structure of the proof of Kato’s criterion for the vanishing viscosity limit. This wor...

We consider the Penrose limit of the solution of D5-brane given in the Anti-de Sitter space and analyse the shape of the D5-brane in the pp-wave background. We find that the D5-brane leads to the branes and the throats connecting the branes. The branes spread on R with periodic values of the light-cone time x and the throats lie along x. We also give some comments on holography. May 2002 † seki...

We study simple space-time coding techniques for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quasi-static channels (2Tx and 4Tx) capable of achieving near outage limit performance. The core of our space-time code is an h-π-diagonal state multiplexer that guarantees full diversity and a quasi-optimal coding gain on the MIMO channel. The whole range of word error probability is attained at signal-to-no...
