The problem of finding a relaxation time spectrum best fitting dynamic moduli data in the least-squares sense is shown to be well-posed and to yield a discrete spectrum, provided the data cannot be fitted exactly, i.e., without any deviation of data and calculated values. Properties of the resulting spectrum are discussed. Examples of discrete spectra obtained from simulated literature data and experimental literature data on polymers are given. The problem of smoothing discrete spectra when continuous ones are expected is discussed. A detailed study of an integral transform inversion under the non-negativity constraint is given in Appendix.

We study quasistationary distributions on a drifted Brownian motion killed at 0, when +∞ is an entrance boundary and 0 is an exit boundary. We prove the existence of a unique quasistationary distribution and of the Yaglom limit.

Over the last two years, the canonical approach to quantum gravity based on connections and triads has been put on a firm mathematical footing through the development and application of a new functional calculus on the space of gauge equivalent connections. This calculus does not use any background fields (such as a metric) and thus well-suited to a fully non-perturbative treatment of quantum gravity. Using this framework, quantum geometry is examined. Fundamental excitations turn out to be one-dimensional, rather like polymers. Geometrical observables such as areas of surfaces and volumes of regions are purely discrete spectra. Continuum picture arises only upon coarse graining of suitable semi-classical states. Next, regulated quantum diffeomorphism constraints can be imposed in an anomaly-free fashion and the space of solutions can be given a natural Hilbert space structure. Progress has also been made on the quantum Hamiltonian constraint in a number of directions. In particular, there is a recent approach based on a generalized .Wick transformation which maps solutions to the Euclidean quantum constraints to those of the Lorentzian theory. These developments are summarized. Emphasis is on conveying the underlying ideas and overall pictures rather than technical details.
