Cohomologically symplectic solvmanifolds are symplectic [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Symplectic Geometry, 2011
We consider aspherical manifolds with torsion-free virtually polycyclic fundamental groups, constructed by Baues. We prove that if those manifolds are cohomologically symplectic then they are symplectic. As a corollary we show that cohomologically symplectic solvmanifolds are symplectic.

Dynamics of symplectic subvolumes [PDF]

open access: yes2007 46th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2007
In this paper we will explore fundamental constraints on the evolution of certain symplectic subvolumes possessed by any Hamiltonian phase space. This research has direct application to optimal control and control of conservative mechanical systems. We relate geometric invariants of symplectic topology to computations that can easily be carried out ...

Eigenvalues of the Transferences of Gaussian Optical Systems

open access: yesAfrican Vision and Eye Health, 2005
The  problem  of  how  to  define  an  average eye leads to the question of what eigenvalues are  possible  for  ray  transferences.  This  paper examines the set of possible eigenvalues in the simplest possible case, that of optical systems consisting ...

The metric geometric mean transference and the problem of the average eye

open access: yesAfrican Vision and Eye Health, 2008
An average refractive error is readily obtained as an arithmetic average of refractive errors.  But how does one characterize the first-order optical character of an average eye?

Temperature Error Reduction of DPD Fluid by Using Partitioned Runge-Kutta Time Integration Scheme

open access: yesFluids, 2019
This study puts emphasis on reducing the temperature error of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) fluid by directly applying a minimal-stage third-order partitioned Runge-Kutta (PRK3) method to the time integration, which does not include any of ...

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Use of transfer maps for modeling beam dynamics in a nonscaling fixed-field alternating-gradient accelerator

open access: yesPhysical Review Special Topics. Accelerators and Beams, 2012
Transfer maps for magnetic components are fundamental to studies of beam dynamics in accelerators. In the work presented here, transfer maps are computed in Taylor form for a particle moving through any specified magnetostatic field by applying an ...

Optical axes of catadioptric systems including visual, Purkinje and other nonvisual systems of a heterocentric astigmatic eye

open access: yesAfrican Vision and Eye Health, 2010
For a dioptric system with elements which may be heterocentric and astigmatic an optical axis has been defined to be a straight line along which a ray both enters and emerges from the system.

Description of large, well‐preserved Enchodus specimens from the Bearpaw Formation of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Fishes of the genus Enchodus were abundant and cosmopolitan in the Late Cretaceous, but are primarily known from isolated remains in Canada. Four well‐preserved fish skulls were recovered in recent years from ammolite mines sampling the Bearpaw Formation of Southern Alberta, and are here referred to Enchodus petrosus Cope, 1874.
