ON CONFORMALLY BERWALD M-TH ROOT (α, β)-METRICS

Significant Class

In this paper, we study the class of $m$-th root (α, β)-metrics which is a significant class mixed of two classes of metrics: $m$-th root metrics and (α, β)-metrics. First, we find the necessary and sufficient condition under which the quartic (α, β)-metrics are conformally Berwald. Then, we find the necessary and sufficient condition under which the cubic (α, β)-metrics are conformally Berwald. Finally, we construct some conformal Finslerian invariants.

Significant Class

The problem of metrising abstract topological spaces constitutes one of the major themes of topology. Since, for each new significant class of topological spaces this question arises, the problem is always current. One of the famous metrisation problems is the Normal Moore Space Conjecture. It is known from relatively recent work that one must add special conditions in order to be able to get affirmative results for this problem. In this paper we establish such special conditions. Since these conditions are characterised by local simplicity and global coherence they are referred to in this paper generically as “abstract topological manifolds.” In particular we establish a generalisation of a classical development of Bing, giving a proof which is complete in itself, not depending on the result or arguments of Bing. In addition we show that the spaces recently developed by Collins designated as “W satisfying open G(N)” are metrisable if they are locally separable and locally connected and regular. Finally, we establish a new necessary and sufficient condition for spaces to be metrisable.

The Public ◽

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.

State Of Nature ◽

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.

Lorentz Boosts

In this paper, Lorentz boosts and Wigner rotations are considered from a (complexified) quaternionic point of view. It is demonstrated that, for a suitably defined self-adjoint complex quaternionic 4-velocity, pure Lorentz boosts can be phrased in terms of the quaternion square root of the relative 4-velocity connecting the two inertial frames. Straightforward computations then lead to quite explicit and relatively simple algebraic formulae for the composition of 4-velocities and the Wigner angle. The Wigner rotation is subsequently related to the generic non-associativity of the composition of three 4-velocities, and a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for the associativity to hold. Finally, the authors relate the composition of 4-velocities to a specific implementation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff theorem. As compared to ordinary 4×4 Lorentz transformations, the use of self-adjoint complexified quaternions leads, from a computational view, to storage savings and more rapid computations, and from a pedagogical view to to relatively simple and explicit formulae.
