Conjugacy classes of special automorphisms of the affine spaces

Jérémy Blanc

In the group of polynomial automorphisms of the plane, the conjugacy class of an element is closed if and only if the element is diagonalisable. In this article, we show that this…

Zemach moments of 3He and 4He

Ingo Sick

We use the world data on elastic electron scattering on 3He and 4He to determine the Zemach moments <r>_(2) and <r^3>_(2). These quantities are required to interpret the Lamb shift…
