Estimating yield potential (Yp) and quantifying the contribution of suboptimum field managements to gap (Yg) crops are important for improving crop effectively. However, achieving this goal on a regional scale remains difficult because challenges in collecting management information. In study, we retrieved information (i.e., emerging stage surrogate sowing date (SDT)) from remote sensing (RS) v...

SFI Working Papers contain accounts of scienti5ic work of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Santa Fe Institute. We accept papers intended for publication in peer-reviewed journals or proceedings volumes, but not papers that have already appeared in print. Except for papers by our external faculty, papers must be based on work done at SFI, inspired by an invited vis...

1 Introduction The Verlinde formula is a remarkable—and potentially very useful—new tool in the geometry of algebraic curves which is borrowed from conformal field theory. In the first instance it is a trigonometric expression which assigns a natural number N l (G, g) to data consisting of a semisimple algebraic group G, a nonnegative integer g and an auxiliary integer l ∈ Z. In physics N l (G,...

Let (P,Ξ) be the naturally polarized model of the Prym variety associated to the étale double cover π : C̃ → C of smooth connected curves, where Ξ ⊂ P ⊂ Pic2g−2(C̃), and g(C) = g. If L is any “non exceptional” singularity of Ξ, i.e. a point L on Ξ ⊂ Pic2g−2(C̃) such that h0(C̃, L) ≥ 4, but which cannot be expressed as π∗(M)(B) for any line bundle M on C with h0(C,M) ≥ 2 and effective divisor B ≥ 0 ...
