© 2016 American Mathematical Society. Using the irreducibility of a natural irreducible representation of the theta group of an ample line bundle on an abelian variety, we derive a bound for the number of n-torsion points ...

El escroto agudo es el cuadro clínico definido por dolor testicular de pocas horas de evolución, asociado habitualmente a signos inflamatorios locales. El escroto agudo se considera un cuadro clínico urgente, ya que requiere ...

We prove a Berger-type theorem which asserts that if the orthogonal subgroup generated by the torsion tensor (pulled back to a point by parallel transport) of a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion is not transitive ...

The city of Cuenca is located on an area with high seismic hazards, PGA=0.25g, according to the Ecuadorian Construction Standard. The history of seismic activity in the sector reveals disasters caused by at least one ...

Three-dimensional gravity in anti-de Sitter space is considered, including torsion. The derivation of the central charges of the algebra that generates the asymptotic isometry group of the theory is reviewed, and a special ...

We analyze the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR) from the point of view of Hamilton-Jacobi approach for singular systems.
