There are several topological spaces associated to a complex hyperplane arrangement: the complement and its boundary manifold, as well as the Milnor fiber and its own boundary. All these spaces are related in various ways, primarily by a set of interlocking fibrations. We use cohomology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems on the complement of the arrangement to gain information on the homology of the other three spaces, and on the monodromy
Read moreThe first part of Robert Coravu's article looks at the place of French in Romania, particularly its changing role from the nineteenth century to the end of the Cold War. The author then analyses the influence of Franco-Romanian relations on Romanian library science, particularly through exchanges, internships, symposia, conferences, and professional literature - did you know that BBF is translated into Romanian?
Read moreThis book is about present day cities, which are considered not only from the limited perspective of architects and urban planners, but also with stimulating inputs from the economic and social sciences. From a theoretical point of view, the authors propose an adaptation of the principles of organisational change management in the urban transformation sector. The aim is to contribute to the definition and promotion of this new area of research. The
Read moreThe role of cultural assets in stimulating tourism seems obvious, but is difficult to assess because of the large number and diversity of the activities comprised in the “culture” phenomenon and the lack of adapted tools. This paper is meant to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between cultural heritage and tourism and to the advancement of a relatively new sustainable development model. The authors are investigating the concept
Read moreWe investigate the proof complexity of a class of propositional formulas expressing a combinatorial principle known as the Kneser-Lovasz Theorem. This is a family of propositional tautologies, indexed by an nonnegative integer parameter k that generalizes the Pigeonhole Principle (PHP, obtained for k=1). We show, for all fixed k, 2^{Omega(n)} lower bounds on resolution complexity and exponential lower bounds for bounded depth Frege proofs. These
