Cuspidal Automorphic Representations

This chapter turns to L-functions. It first covers motivic and cohomological L-functions. There is a well-known conjectural dictionary between cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of GLn and pure rank n motives. The chapter briefly reviews this dictionary while recasting it in the context of strongly inner Hecke summands on the one hand and pure effective motives on the other. Afterward, the critical points for L-functions and the combinatorial lemma are explored. In particular, the chapter reviews the Rankin–Selberg L-functions. A proof of combinatorial lemma is also given. The chapter then provides the main result on special values of L-functions. It concludes with some remarks.

The double cusp is the real, compact, unimodal singularitysee (2), (4). Functions in a universal unfolding of the double cusp can have nine non-degenerate critical points near the origin, but no more. Index considerations show that precisely four of the nine are saddles, and it has long been part of the folklore of singularity theory that one of the other five must be a maximum. Indeed, a standard form of the unfolded double cusp (1), (3) is a function having a pair of intersecting ellipses as one of its level curves; see Fig. 1(a). There are saddles at the four intersection points, a maximum inside the central quadrilateral, and a minimum inside each of the other four finite regions bounded by the ellipses. The rest of Fig. 1 suggests, however, that a deformation of this function (in which one of the saddles drops below the level of the other three) might turn the maximum into a fifth minimum. The following proposition shows that a function similar to the one in Fig. 1(d) can be realized in an unfolding of the double cusp.

The Way

In this work, we continue the study of the bifurcations of the critical points in a symmetric Caldera potential energy surface. In particular, we study the influence of the depth of the potential on the trajectory behavior before and after the bifurcation of the critical points. We observe two different types of trajectory behavior: dynamical matching and the nonexistence of dynamical matching. Dynamical matching is a phenomenon that limits the way in which a trajectory can exit the Caldera based solely on how it enters the Caldera. Furthermore, we discuss two different types of symmetric Caldera potential energy surface and the transition from the one type to the other through the bifurcations of the critical points.

1. In my paper (Fuchs 1942, in the following quoted as F), criticized in the preceding remarks of Wannier, I was mainly concerned with the statistical properties for varying concentrations. For this reason I omitted to consider some special types of critical points, which are obtained in exceptional cases. I hope I shall be pardoned for omitting to mention these exceptional cases, since they went rather beyond the scope of my paper, and at the time I had no reason to suppose that they were of special interest. However, in order to reconcile the results of Kramers & Wannier (1941, in the following quoted as KW) with my own, it is necessary to assume that one of these special cases represents the correct description of the critical region. 2. In comparing the results of the two theories a clear distinction must be made between facts which have been rigorously proved by the one theory or the other, and those which have only been obtained by approximate evaluation. I shall confine myself first to the former, since this is the only way of settling the points in question.

The principal aim of this article is to attach and study $p$ -adic $L$ -functions to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations $\Pi$ of $\operatorname {GL}_{2n}$ over a totally real field $F$ admitting a Shalika model. We use a modular symbol approach, along the global lines of the work of Ash and Ginzburg, but our results are more definitive because we draw heavily upon the methods used in the recent and separate works of all three authors. By construction, our $p$ -adic $L$ -functions are distributions on the Galois group of the maximal abelian extension of $F$ unramified outside $p\infty$ . Moreover, we work under a weaker Panchishkine-type condition on $\Pi _p$ rather than the full ordinariness condition. Finally, we prove the so-called Manin relations between the $p$ -adic $L$ -functions at all critical points. This has the striking consequence that, given a unitary $\Pi$ whose standard $L$ -function admits at least two critical points, and given a prime $p$ such that $\Pi _p$ is ordinary, the central critical value $L(\frac {1}{2}, \Pi \otimes \chi )$ is non-zero for all except finitely many Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of $p$ -power conductor.

Cuspidal Automorphic Representations

We establish a connection between motivic cohomology classes over the Siegel threefold and non-critical special values of the degree-four $L$-function of some cuspidal automorphic representations of $\text{GSp}(4)$. Our computation relies on our previous work [On higher regulators of Siegel threefolds I: the vanishing on the boundary, Asian J. Math. 19 (2015), 83–120] and on an integral representation of the $L$-function due to Piatetski-Shapiro.

Selection Of

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

In recent years, political and social conditions have changed dramatically. Many analyses help to capture these dynamics. However, they produce political pessimism: on the one hand there is the image of regression and on the other, a direct link is made between socio-economic decline and the rise of the far-right. To counter these aspects, this article argues that current political events are to be understood less as ‘regression’ but rather as a moment of movement and the return of deep political struggles. Referring to Jacques Ranciere’s political thought, the current conditions can be captured as the ‘end of post-democracy’. This approach changes the perspective on current social dynamics in a productive way. It allows for an emphasis on movement and the recognition of the windows of opportunity for emancipatory struggles.

Political ideological pluralism, religious diversity are characteristic features of modern Ukrainian society. On the one hand, multiculturalism, socio-political, religious differentiation of the latter appear as important characteristics of its democracy, as a practical expression of freedom, on the other - as a factor that led to the deconsocialization of society, gave rise to "nodal points" of tension, confrontational processes, in particular, in political and religious spheres.
