Negative specific heat is a dramatic phenomenon where processes decrease in temperature when adding energy. It has been observed in gravo-thermal collapse of globular clusters. We now report finding this phenomenon in bundles of nearly parallel, periodic, single-sign generalized vortex filaments in the electron magnetohydrodynamic model for the unbounded plane under strong magnetic confinement....

In this paper we describe the derivations of orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras over a superring. In particular, we derive sufficient conditions under which the derivations can be expressed as a semidirect product of inner and outer derivations. We then present some examples for which these conditions hold.

We recall the definition of strong homotopy derivations of A∞ algebras and introduce the corresponding definition for L∞ algebras. We define strong homotopy inner derivations for both algebras and exhibit explicit examples of both.

In this note we propose a definition of inner derivation for nonassociative algebras. This definition coincides with the usual one for Lie algebras, and for associative algebras with no absolute right (left) divisor of zero. I t is well known that all derivations of semi-simple associative or Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are inner. Recent correspondence with N. Jacobson has ...
