The aim of the VIRMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) is to study of the evolution of galaxies, large scale structures and AGNs from a sample of more than 150,000 galaxies with measured redshifts in the range 0 ≤ z ≤ 5+. The VVDS will rely on the VIMOS and NIRMOS wide field multi-object spectrographs, which the VIRMOS consortium is delivering to ESO. Together, they offer unprecedented multiplex capabili...

Kubota [19] showed how the theory of Eisenstein series on the higher metaplectic covers of SL2 (which he discovered) can be used to study the analytic properties of Dirichlet series formed with n-th order Gauss sums. In this paper we will prove a functional equation for such Dirichlet series in the precise form required by the companion paper [2]. Closely related results are in Eckhardt and Pat...

This introductory article aims to provide a roadmap to many of the interrelated papers in this volume and to a portion of the field of multiple Dirichlet series, particularly emerging new ideas. It is both a survey of the recent literature, and an introduction to the combinatorial aspects of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series, a class of multiple Dirichlet series that are not Euler products, ...

the paper presents the semi-numerical solution for the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) viscous flow due to a stretching sheet caused by boundary layer of an incompressible viscous flow. the governing partial differential equations of momentum equations are reduced into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (node) by using a classical similarity transformation along with appropriate boundary cond...

Let D = 1 or D be a fundamental discriminant [1]. The Kronecker-Jacobi-Legendre symbol (D/n) is a completely multiplicative function on the positive integers: µ D n ¶ = ⎧ ⎪ ⎨

We present a new K-band survey covering 623 arcmin 2 in the VVDS 0226-0430 deep field down to a limiting magnitude KVega 20.5. We use the spectroscopic sample extracted from this new K-band catalogue to assess the effectiveness of optical-near infrared color selections in identifying extreme classes of objects at high redshift. 1. The VVDS F02 K-selected sample Near-infrared (NIR) selected samp...

We propose a definition of admissible Dirichlet series as the analog of Hayman’s [6] 1956 definition of admissible power series.
