Statistics) Momentum Scale Estimation Using Maximum Likelihood Template Fitting by Yu Zeng Department of Statistics Duke University Date:

In this paper, we determine completely the initial Fitting ideal of the minus part of the ideal class group of an abelian number field over Q up to the 2-component. This answers an open question of Mazur and Wiles [11] up to the 2-component, and proves Conjecture 0.1 in [8]. We also study Brumer’s conjecture and prove a stronger version for a CM-field, assuming certain conditions, in particular...

Many realistic decision aid problems are fraught with facets of ambiguity, uncertainty and conflict, which hamper the effectiveness of conventional and fuzzy preference modeling approaches, and command the use of more expressive representations. In the past, some authors have already identified Ginsberg’s/Fitting’s theory of bilattices as a naturally attractive candidate framework for represent...

Proposition 1. Assume that r = n − m > 1 and that the first nonvanishing Fitting ideal of M has grade r + 1. Then the following conditions are equivalent. (1) There is a χ ∈ M∗ = HomR(M,R) such that the ideal Imχ has grade r + 1. (2) There exists a submodule U of M with the following properties: (i) rankU = r − 1; (ii) U is reflexive, orientable, and Up is a free direct summand of Mp for all pr...
