AbstractThree-dimensional domain configuration of multi-domain LiTaO3 is revealed by Scanning Nonlinear Dielectric Microscopy (SNDM). SNDM can measure the polarization components both perpendicular and parallel to the surface of the specimen. These techniques are applied to the both congruent and stoichiometric LiTaO3 crystals. The images obtained by SNDM measurements allow us to confirm the various domain features of LiTaO3 and to understand both similarities and differences between the congruent and stoichiometric compositions.

The stationary monochromatic radiative transfer equation (RTE) is posed in five dimensions, with the intensity depending on both a position in a three-dimensional domain as well as a direction. For non-scattering radiative transfer, sparse finite elements [1, 2] have been shown to be an efficient discretization strategy if the intensity function is sufficiently smooth. Compared to the discrete ordinates method, they make it possible to significantly reduce the number of degrees of freedom N in the discretization with almost no loss of accuracy. However, using a direct solver to solve the resulting linear system requires O(N3) operations. In this paper, an efficient solver based on the conjugate gradient method (CG) with a subspace correction preconditioner is presented. Numerical experiments show that the linear system can be solved at computational costs that are nearly proportional to the number of degrees of freedom N in the discretization.

Following Penrose's construction of space-time infinity by means of a conformal construction, in which null-infinity is a three-dimensional domain, whereas time- and space-infinities are points, Geroch has recently endowed space-infinity with a somewhat richer structure. An approach that might work with a large class of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds is to induce a topology on the set of all geodesics (whether complete or incomplete) by subjecting their Cauchy data to (small) displacements in space-time and Lorentz rotations, and to group the geodesics all of whose neighborhoods intersect into equivalence classes. The quotient space of geodesics over equivalence classes is to represent infinity. In the case of Minkowski, null-infinity has the usual structure, but I0, I+, and I- each become three-dimensional as well.
