A generic Lagrangian, in arbitrary spacetime dimension, describing the interaction of a graviton, a dilaton and two antisymmetric tensors is considered. An isotropic p-brane solution consisting of three blocks and depending on four parameters in the Lagrangian and two arbitrary harmonic functions is obtained. For speci c values of parameters in the Lagrangian the solution may be identi ed with ...

We prove uniqueness and give precise criteria for existence of split and non-split Bessel models for a class of lowest and highest weight representations of the groups GSp(4,R) and Sp(4,R) including all holomorphic and anti-holomorphic discrete series representations. Explicit formulas for the resulting Bessel functions are obtained by solving systems of differential equations. The formulas are...

Four groups of patients with social phobia (SP) were compared with regard to psychopathologic characteristics, personality traits, and social and occupational functioning. Fifteen persons with discrete social phobia without any personality disorder (DSP), 28 persons with generalized social phobia (GSP) without any personality disorder, 24 persons with GSP with a single diagnosis of avoidant per...

Methods of theta correspondence are used to analyze local and global Bessel models for GSp4 proving a conjecture of Gross and Prasad which describes these models in terms of local epsilon factors in the local case, and the nonvanishing of central critical L-value in the global case.

BACKGROUND Most subjects regain weight after weight loss due to compensatory adaptations finalized to maintain stable body energy stores. Green tea (GT) preparations, which help maintain energy expenditure while dieting could be a useful strategy to facilitate weight maintenance. The usefulness of GT preparations in weight maintenance has been poorly studied so far with conflicting results. Thi...

This is an informal companion to our paper Bessel models for GSp(4) written for people new to the subject.

The normal operation of the Yulangpei tailings reservoir is affected by landslide stability. In this paper, taking main and side slopes near dam bank ditch as an example, water–soil coupling theory applied to comprehensively evaluate reliability reservoir. Grading seepage prevention (GSP) measures suction substrate are considered, well infiltration different rainfall water levels. We numericall...
