On hypoellipticity of solutions with compact support of the Cauchy-Riemann equation

Eric Amar, Samuele Mongodi

In one complex variable, the existence of a compactly supported solution to the Cauchy-Riemann equation is related to the vanishing of certain integrals of the data; trying to gene…

Acceleration of cosmic rays at supernova remnant shocks: constraints from gamma-ray observations

Marianne Lemoine-Goumard

In the past few years, gamma-ray astronomy has entered a golden age. At TeV energies, only a handful of sources were known a decade ago, but the current generation of ground-based…

The class group pairing and -descent on elliptic curves

Jean Gillibert, Christian Wuthrich

We give explicit formulae for the logarithmic class group pairing on an elliptic curve defined over a number field. Then we relate it to the descent relative to a suitable cyclic i…

Maximal velocity of photons in non-relativistic QED

Jean-Francois Bony, Jérémy Faupin, Israel Michael Sigal

We consider the problem of propagation of photons in the quantum theory of non-relativistic matter coupled to electromagnetic radiation, which is, presently, the only consistent qu…
