Let $\text{Homeo}_{0}(\mathbb{R}^{2};0)$ be the set of all homeomorphisms of the plane that are isotopic to the identity and which fix zero. Recently, in Le Roux [L’ensemble de rotation autour d’un point fixe. Astérisque (350) (2013), 1–109], Le Roux gave the definition of the local rotation set of an isotopy$I$ in $\text{Homeo}_{0}(\mathbb{R}^{2};0)$ from the identity to a homeomorphism $f$ and he asked if this set is always an interval. In this article, we give a positive answer to this question and to the analogous question in the case of the open annulus.

The work of Coifman and Weiss concerning Hardy spaces on spaces of homogeneous type gives, as a particular case, a definition of Hp(ZN) in terms of an atomic decomposition.Other characterizations of these spaces have been studied by other authors, but it was an open question to see if they can be defined, as it happens in the classical case, in terms of a maximal function or via the discrete Riesz transforms.In this paper, we give a positive answer to this question.

A hundred years ago, Frege proposed a logical definition of the natural numbers based on the following idea:He replaced this circular definition by the following one:He tried afterwards to found his theory over a notion of class satisfying a general comprehension principle:Russell quickly derived a contradiction from this principle (the famous Russell's paradox) but saved Frege's arithmetic with his theory of types based on the following comprehension principle:In 1979, talking at the Claude Bernard University in Lyon, I remarked that 3 types suffice to provide Frege's arithmetic, showing in fact that PA2 (second order Peano arithmetic) holds in TT3 + AI (theory of types 0, 1, 2 plus a suitable axiom of infinity). I asked whether TT3 + AI was a conservative extension of PA2. Pabion [3] gave a positive answer by a subtle use of the Fraenkel-Moskowski method. This result will be improved in the present paper, with a view to getting models of NF3 + AI in which Frege's arithmetic forms a model isomorphic to a given countable model of PA2.

Preface. The impetus for this study arose from the belief that the structure of a C*-algebra is illuminated by an understanding of the manner in which abelian subalgebras embed in it. Posed in its full generality, the question concerning abelian subalgebras would seem impossible to answer. A notion of diagonal subalgebra is, however, proposed which has the virtue that one can associate a “topological”; invariant to the pair consisting of the diagonal and the ambient algebra, from which these algebras may be retrieved.In the setting of von Neumann algebras, the analogous question was addressed in the seminal work of Feldman and Moore [13]. Their definition of Cartan subalgebra permits the abstraction of a complete invariant consisting of a Borel equivalence relation together with a certain cohomology class on the relation from which the Cartan pair may be recovered. Our development parallels theirs in spirit; differences in substance derive from the topological flavor of C*-theory.

Abstract The current security situation is marked an increasing competition for power at global scale, the use of power politics, and the growth of the influence of the non-state actors in a changed resource and demographic landscape. NATO and EU seem to be out of sync with the developments in the world, situation which puts their very existence into questioning. However, a closer look shows that both organisations have displayed a very high degree of versatility, re-inventing themselves to adapt to the changing environment, and surviving all the evolution so far, while other peer organisations have become history. Therefore, the main question is whether NATO and EU will overcome the existing and future challenges and continue the current positive trend in their cooperation? When considering the common history, the trend and the most recent evolutions, one can only draw a positive answer. The most significant areas of recent cooperation which indicate a definite positive trend are the adaptation of the NATO Command Structure, the development of military capabilities, and the definition of the cyberspace as an operational domain

We address the question of injectivity of coherent semantics of linear logic proof-nets. Starting from Girard's definition of experiment, we introduce the key-notion of ‘injective obsessional experiment’, which allows us to give a positive answer to our question for certain fragments of linear logic, and to build counter-examples to the injectivity of coherent semantics in the general case.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

AbstractThe clear evidence of water erosion on the surface of Mars suggests an early climate much more clement than the present one. Using a model for the origin of inner planet atmospheres by icy planetesimal impact, it is possible to reconstruct the original volatile inventory on Mars, starting from the thin atmosphere we observe today. Evidence for cometary impact can be found in the present abundances and isotope ratios of gases in the atmosphere and in SNC meteorites. If we invoke impact erosion to account for the present excess of129Xe, we predict an early inventory equivalent to at least 7.5 bars of CO2. This reservoir of volatiles is adequate to produce a substantial greenhouse effect, provided there is some small addition of SO2(volcanoes) or reduced gases (cometary impact). Thus it seems likely that conditions on early Mars were suitable for the origin of life – biogenic elements and liquid water were present at favorable conditions of pressure and temperature. Whether life began on Mars remains an open question, receiving hints of a positive answer from recent work on one of the Martian meteorites. The implications for habitable zones around other stars include the need to have rocky planets with sufficient mass to preserve atmospheres in the face of intensive early bombardment.

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

No paper of this nature should begin without a definition of symbiotic stars. It was Paul Merrill who, borrowing on his botanical background, coined the termsymbioticto describe apparently single stellar systems which combine the TiO absorption of M giants (temperature regime ≲ 3500 K) with He II emission (temperature regime ≳ 100,000 K). He and Milton Humason had in 1932 first drawn attention to three such stars: AX Per, CI Cyg and RW Hya. At the conclusion of the Mount Wilson Ha emission survey nearly a dozen had been identified, and Z And had become their type star. The numbers slowly grew, as much because the definition widened to include lower-excitation specimens as because new examples of the original type were found. In 1970 Wackerling listed 30; this was the last compendium of symbiotic stars published.

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
