[1] Measurements of Eulerian flow velocity obtained within the swash zone on a relatively steep beach face (gradient 1:23) are compared with an extended ballistic swash model. The model only requires a friction factor, beach slope and terminal bore velocity as input. The following model predictions matched well with observations: (1) The maximum Eulerian flow velocity is the shoreline velocity ...

We investigate new and old algebras of continuous functions on topological groups G arising from G-spaces and some associated linear representations G → Iso (V ) on Banach spaces V . The topological group G = H+[0, 1] of orientation preserving homeomorphisms on the closed interval does not admit non-trivial continuous representations G → Iso (V ) when V is a reflexive Banach space (an equivalen...

(A) We study in this paper some connections between the Fra¨ıssé theory of amalgamation classes and ultrahomogeneous structures, Ramsey theory, and topological dynamics of automorphism groups of countable structures. A prime concern of topological dynamics is the study of continuous actions of (Haus-dorff) topological groups G on (Hausdorff) compact spaces X. These are usually referred to as (c...

Extending the results obtained in the case N odd, the effect of slightly relevant perturbations of the second parafermionic field theory with the symmetry ZN , for N even, are studied. The renormalization group equations, and their infra red fixed points exhibit the same structure in both cases. In addition to the standard flow from the p-th to the (p − 2)-th model, another fixed point correspo...

We use the one-parameter fixed point theory of Geoghegan and Nicas to get information about the closed orbit structure of transverse gradient flows of closed 1-forms on a closed manifold M . We define a noncommutative zeta function in an object related to the first Hochschild homology group of the Novikov ring associated to the 1-form and relate it to the torsion of a natural chain homotopy equ...
