We establish reflection positivity for Gibbs trace states defined by a certain class of Hamiltonians that describe the interaction of Majoranas on a lattice. These Hamiltonians may include many-body interactions, as long as the signs of the associated coupling constants satisfy certain restrictions. We show that reflection positivity holds on an even subalgebra of Majoranas.

background the household transmission of hepatitis b virus (hbv) is a major health problem. the prevalence rate of this infection is reported about 11% to 57% among family members of hbsag carriers. objectives this study was conducted to evaluate serological determinants of chronic hepatitis b infection, especially hbsag positivity, among family members of asymptomatic hbsag positive carriers i...

Older adults favor emotionally positive material over emotionally negative material in information processing. Given the potentially harmful consequences of avoiding negative information, this aging positivity effect may provide benefits that offset its costs. To test this possibility, we assessed positivity in recall and blood indicators of immune function among older adults. Greater positivit...

We study how the geometry of a projective variety X is reflected in the positivity properties of the diagonal ∆X considered as a cycle on X ×X. We analyze when the diagonal is big, when it is nef, and when it is rigid. In each case, we give several implications for the geometric properties of X. For example, when the cohomology class of ∆X is big, we prove that the Hodge groups H(X) vanish for ...
