‎‎in cite{fr 1‎, ‎fr 2} using faithful complex representations of cyclically pinched and conjugacy pinched one-relator groups we proved that any limit group has a faithful representation in $psl(2,c)$‎. ‎further this representation can be effectively constructed using the jsj decomposition‎. ‎in this note we show that any hyperbolic cyclically pinched one-relator group with maximal amalgamated ...

This paper concerns pinched surfaces, also known as pseudosurfaces. A map is a graph G embedded on an oriented pinched surface. An arc of a map is an edge of G with a fixed direction. A regular map is one with a group of orientation-preserving automorphisms that acts regularly on the arcs of a map, i.e., that acts both freely and transitively. We study regular maps on pinched surfaces. We give ...

Generalizing [BrFa] we prove the existence of a bilipschitz embedded manifold of pinched negative curvature and dimension m1 +m2 −1 in the product X := Xm1 1 ×X m2 2 of two Hadamard manifolds Xmi i of dimension mi with pinched negative curvature. Combining this result with [BuySch] we prove the additivity of the hyperbolic rank for products of manifolds with pinched negative curvature.

Non-pinched, minimum energy solutions are important class of distillation designs that offer the potential advantage of a better trade-off between capital investment and operating costs. In this paper, two important tasks associated with non-pinched distillation designs are studied. Thus the novel contributions of this work to the literature are (1) A comprehensive methodology for finding non-p...

It has been claimed that pinched hysteresis curves are the fingerprint of memristors. This paper demonstrates that a linear resistor in parallel with a nonlinear, square law capacitor also produces pinched hysteresis curves. Spice simulations are performed examining the current vs. voltage behavior of this circuitry under different amplitudes and frequencies of an input signal. Based on this fi...

We analyze the so-called pinched weights, that are generally thought to reduce the violation of quark-hadron duality in Finite-Energy Sum Rules. After showing how this is not true in general, we explain how to address this question for the LR correlator and any particular pinched weight taking advantage of our previous work [1], where the possible high-energy behavior of the LR spectral functio...

We reformulate, using super worldline formalism, the pinched gluon vertex operator proposed by Strassler. The pinched vertex operator turns out to be the product of two gluon vertex operators with the insertion of δ-function which makes the super distances between them zero. Thus the pinch procedures turn out to be nothing but the insertions of δ-function. Applying our formulation to two-loop d...

In a recent paper Yamada et al. [1] propose the novel concept of ”pinched flow fractionation” (PFF) for the continuous size separation and analysis of particles in microfabricated lab-on-a-chip devices. In their description of the basic principle they claim that especially the width of the pinched and broadened segments will affect the separation performance. In the following we comment on the ...
