We consider the use of generalized Ding-Helleseth cyclotomy to design sequences over the finite field of order four. Using generalized cyclotomic classes of order four we obtain the family of balanced sequences of odd period with high linear complexity. Also we present a method of constructing sequences with high linear complexity and arbitrary even period over the finite field of order four. T...

Let K be a cyclic Galois extension of degree p over a field F containing a primitive pth root of unity. We consider Galois embedding problems involving Galois groups with common quotient Gal(K/F ) such that corresponding normal subgroups are indecomposable Fp[Gal(K/F )]modules. For these embedding problems we prove conditions on solvability, formulas for explicit construction, and results on au...

In 1977 Kervaire and Murthy presented three conjectures regarding K0ZCpn , where Cpn is the cyclic group of order p n and p is a semi-regular prime that is p does not divide h (regular p does not divide the class number h = hh). The Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence provides the following short exact sequence 0 → Vn → PicZCpn → ClQ(ζn−1)× PicZCpn−1 → 0 Here ζn−1 is a primitive p -th root of unity. ...

This paper addresses the five major structural issues on the agenda of the 1996 Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) of the Member States of the European Union: the option of replacing the treaty framework by a European constitution; the issue of fundamental rights in the Union; the future of the three-pillar structure; the puzzling question of how to allow for variations in European integration ...

The algebra su 2 is derived from two commuting quon algebras for which the parameter q is a root of unity. This leads to a polar decomposition of the shift operators J + and J − of the group SU 2 (with J + = J † − = HUr where H is Hermitean and Ur unitary). The Wigner-Racah algebra of SU 2 is developed in a new basis arising from the simultanenous diagonalization of the commuting operators J 2 ...

In his work on Wiener-Hopf determinants, A. Böttcher came across what he termed a “mysterious” identity that evaluates a certain sum of a rational function of a primitive root of unity in terms of the Barnes Gfunction, which was later generalized by Basor and Forrester. We give a direct proof of Böttcher’s identity and its many generalizations by using elements of the theory of symmetric functi...

Watermark recovery is often based on cross-correlating images with pseudo-noise sequences, as access to un-watermarked originals is not required. Successful recovery of these watermarks is determined by the (periodic or aperiodic) sequence autoand cross-correlation properties. This paper presents several methods of extending the dimensionality of 1D sequences in order to utilise the advantages ...

Unity: Unity is a widely-used cross-platform game develop system. It consists of a game engine and an integrated development environment (IDE). It can be used to develop games for many different platforms, including PCs, consoles, mobile devices, and deployment on the Web. In this lecture, we will present the basic elements of Unity. However, this is a complex system, and we will not have time ...
