Instances of such “arithmetic 1-extensions” naturally arise in arithmetic geometry and in geometry of numbers. In this talk we discuss an arithmetic analog of the Enriques-Severi-Zariski Lemma in classical algebraic geometry: namely, if X is a projective integral scheme over SpecZ and if the class of EQ in the classical extension group Ext1XQ(EQ, FQ) does not vanish, then for “many” points P in...

The increasing usage of the Internet for the distribution of audio content and the increasing number of audio broadcasting stations require new supporting tools and methods for the observation of occurrence frequencies and of possible copyright-infringements. This paper describes a general approach for the identification of audio titles and its application on Internet observation. The concept o...

This study proposes a hypothesis that honorific titles such as English Mr and Japanese san occupy the D head position discusses its consequences to syntax semantics of nominals. Seven pieces supporting evidence are presented using data from various languages. If proposed is correct, (i) nominals in languages without articles not NP but DP, (ii) proper names cannot be N, (iii) semantic parameter...
