    • Algebras of distributions suitable for phase-space quantum mechanics. III. The dual space of the algebra L_b(S) 

      Gracia Bondía, José M.; Várilly Boyle, Joseph C.; Figueroa González, Héctor (1989-09)
      The strong dual space of the topological algebra L_b(S), where S is the Schwartz space of smooth declining functions on R, may be obtained as an inductive limit of projective limits of Hilbert spaces. To that end, we ...
    • An overlapping preconditioner for 2D virtual problems posed in H(rot) with irregular subdomains 

      Calvo Alpízar, Juan Gabriel; Herrera Garro, César; Sequeira Chavarría, Filander A. (2022)
      We present a two-level overlapping Schwarz preconditioner for problems posed in H(rot) in two dimensions, that extends previous methods for Nédélec elements (triangular meshes) to general polygonal partitions (virtual ...
    • Analiticity of the Lyapunov exponents of random products of quasi-periodic cocycles 

      Bezerra, Jamerson; Sánchez Chavarría, Adriana Cristina; Tall, El Hadji Yaya (2021-11-01)
      We show that the top Lyapunov exponent LE(p) associated with a random product of quasi-periodic cocycles depends real analytically on the transition probabilities p whenever LE(p) is simple. Moreover if the spectrum at ...
    • Characterization of principal bundles: the commutative case 

      Ugalde Gómez, William Javier (2023-10-04)
      A review of the characterization of principal bundles, through the different properties of the action of a group and its related canonical and translation maps, is presented. The work is divided in three stages: a topological ...
    • Characterization of principal bundles: the noncommutative algebraic case 

      Ugalde Gómez, William Javier (2024)
      We review Hopf–Galois extensions, in particular faithfully flat ones, accepted to be the noncommutative algebraic dual of a principal bundle. We also make a short digression into how quantum groups relate to Hopf—Galois ...
    • Clifford Geometry: a Seminar 

      Várilly Boyle, Joseph C.; Gracia Bondía, José M. (1995-12-15)
      Este documento fue desarrollado durante el seminario de posgrado SP--1313 (Seminario en Matemática A) en 1995; por razones de difusión, fue redactado en inglés. Se trata de una exposición de los aspectos de la geometría ...
    • Comparing the efficiency of monofilament and traditional nets for capturing bats 

      Chaves Ramírez, Silvia; Castillo Salazar, Cristian; Sánchez Chavarría, Mariela; Solís Hernández, Hellen; Chaverri Echandi, Gloriana (2021)
      Traditional mist nets used for capturing bats have several drawbacks, particularly that they are inefficient at sampling many insectivorous species. One possible alternative is to use monofilament nets, whose netting is ...
    • Diversity of deep-sea echinoderms from Costa Rica 

      Alvarado Barrientos, Juan José; Chacón Monge, José Leonardo; Azofeifa Solano, Juan Carlos; Cortés Núñez, Jorge (2022-07-31)
      Echinoderms are a highly diverse group and one of the most conspicuous in the deep sea, playing ecological key roles. We present a review about the history of expeditions and studies on deep-sea echinoderms in Costa Rica, ...
    • Elimination of quantifiers of a theory of real closed rings. 

      Guier Acosta, Jorge Ignacio (2022-10-09)
      Let T* be the theory of lattice-ordered subrings, without minimal (non zero) idempontents, convex in von Neumann regular real closed rings that are divisible-proyectable and sc-regular. In this paper, a local divisibility ...
