Third homology of general linear groups

Behrooz Mirzaii

The third homology group of GL_n(R) is studied, where R is a `ring with many units' with center Z(R). The main theorem states that if K_1(Z(R))_Q \simeq K_1(R)_Q, (e.g. R a commuta…

Are current-induced forces conservative?

M. Di Ventra, Yu-Chang Chen, T. N. Todorov

The expression for the force on an ion in the presence of current can be derived from first principles without any assumption about its conservative character. However, energy func…

Introducing EMILI: Computer Aided Emission Line Identification

Brian Sharpee, Robert Williams, Jack A. Baldwin +1

The identification of spectral lines can be a tedious process requiring the interrogation of large spectroscopic databases, but it does lend itself to software algorithms that can…
