Adaptive frame methods with cubic spline-wavelet bases
Les arguments de Maddy avancés en 1990 contre la théorie des agrégats se trouvent affaiblis par le retournement qu’elle opère en 1997. La présente communication examine cette théorie à la lumière de ce retournement ainsi que des récentes recherches sur les “Nouveaux axiomes pour les mathématiques”. Si la théorie des ensembles est la théorie de la partie–tout des singletons, identifier les singletons à leurs membres singuliers ramène la théorie des ensembles à la théorie des agrégats. Toutefois si...
Alignment classification of tensors on Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension is summarized. This classification scheme is then applied to the case of the Weyl tensor and it is shown that in four dimensions it is equivalent to the well known Petrov classification. The approaches using Bel-Debever criteria and principal null directions of the superenergy tensor are also discussed.
Selected applications of the algebraic classification of tensors on Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension are discussed. We clarify some aspects of the relationship between invariants of tensors and their algebraic class, discuss generalization of Newman-Penrose and Geroch-Held-Penrose formalisms to arbitrary dimension and study an application of the algebraic classification to the case of quadratic gravity.
From the text: The aim of this work is to advertise an algorithmic treatment of the computation of the cohomologies of semisimple Lie algebras. The base is Kostant’s result which describes the representation of the proper reductive subalgebra on the cohomologies space. We show how to (algorithmically) compute the highest weights of irreducible components of this representation using the Dynkin diagrams. The software package offers the data structures and corresponding procedures for computing...
