We completely determine the 2-primary torsion subgroups of the hermitian K-groups of rings of 2-integers in totally real 2-regular number fields. The result is almost periodic with period 8. Moreover, the 2-regular case is precisely the class of totally real number fields that have homotopy cartesian “Bökstedt square”, relating the K-theory of the 2-integers to that of the fields of real and co...

It is argued that, at least for the case of Navier-Stokes fluids, the so-called hyperbolic theories of dissipation are not viable. Consider a Navier-Stokes fluid. By this, we mean a substance that, within a certain regime, may be described as follows. First, the local state of the substance must be completely characterized, within this regime, by the values of precisely five fields on space-tim...
