We prove a duality theorem for graded algebras over a field that implies several known duality results: graded local duality, versions of Serre duality for local cohomology and of Suzuki duality for generalized local cohomology, and Herzog-Rahimi bigraded duality.

Representations of monstrosity in literature reveal the cultural tensions specific historical periods, as collective social fears become embodied by creatures intended to disturb their audiences. Gothic novels late Victorian Era rely on these representations darkness society, and different monsters created authors reflect various views norms, particularly relation gender. This essay focuses Bra...

do in biology and is, I think, one of the great ways to do innovative work.... The diversity in the living world is so large, and since everything is connected in some way, let’s find the best one.” Research focused on human and medical application is certainly an important component in neuroscience. But such research tends to dwell more on technological improvements rather than on basic discov...

We consider a financial market with one riskless and one risky asset. The super-replication theorem states that there is no duality gap in the problem of super-replicating a contingent claim under transaction costs and the associated dual problem. We give two versions of this theorem. The first theorem relates a numéraire-based admissibility condition in the primal problem to the notion of a lo...

A gauge function f(.) is a nonnegative convex function that is positively homogeneous and satisfies f(O)=O. Norms and pseudonorms are specific instances of a gauge function. This paper presents a gauge duality theory for a gauge program, which is the problem of minimizing the value of a gauge function f(.) over a convex set. The gauge dual program is also a gauge program, unlike the standard La...

On the strange vector form factors of the nucleon in the NJL soliton model y ABSTRACT Within the Nambu{Jona{Lasinio model strange degrees of freedom are incorporated into the soliton picture using the collective approach of Yabu and Ando. The form factors of the nucleon associated with the nonet vector current are extracted. The numerical results provide limits for the strange magnetic moment: ...

Quark mass corrections to the τ hadronic width play a significant role only for the strange quark, hence providing a method for determining its mass. The experimental input is the vector plus axial-vector strange spectral function derived from a complete study of tau decays into strange hadronic final states performed by ALEPH. New results on strange decay modes from other experiments are also ...

The quarks are regarded as quasiparticles, which acquire an effective mass generated by the interaction with the other quarks of the dense system. The bulk viscosity is re-expressed in the case of interacting strange quark matter. We find that the viscosity is a few∼tens times larger than that of non-interacting quark gas due to the small correction of medium effect to the equation of state. Th...
