Plymouth Meeting (June 29-July 1)-Page 379 Plymouth Meeting (June 29-July 1)-Page 379 Notices of the American Mathematical Society e.K 's:: ~ June 1984, Issue 234 Volume 31, Number 4, Pages 361 - 432 Providence, Rhode Island USA ~ ISSN 0002-9920 Calendar of AMS Meetings THIS CALENDAR lists all meetings which have been approved by the Council prior to the date this issue of the Notices was sent to press. The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the Ameri· can Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and second announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to that of the Notices which contains the program of the meet· ing. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society in Providence. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline given below for the meeting. Note that the deadline for ab· stracts submitted for consideration for presentation at special sessions is usually three weeks earlier than that specified below. For additional information consult the meeting announcement and the list of organizers of special sessions.

Subscribers' changes of address should be reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should a/ways include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service change-of­ address forms are not adequate for this purpose, since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices (e.g. June 1984, page 427). Send change. of address notices to the Society at Post Office Box 6248, Providence, RI 02940. [Notices is published eight times a year (January, February, April, June, August, October, November, December) by the American Mathematical Society at 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904. Second class postage paid at Providence, RI and additional mailing offices. POSTMASTER: Send address change notices to Membership and Sales Department, American Mathematical Society, Post Office Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940.] Publication here of the Society's street address, and the other information in brackets above, is a technical requirement of the U. S. Postal Service. The street address should never be used by correspondents, unless they plan to deliver their messages by hand. Members are strongly urged to notify the Society themselves of address changes (in the manner described above), since (as explained above) reliance on the postal service change-of-address forms is liable to cause delays in processing such requests in the AMS office.

The purpose and intended use of this rent study is to estimate the annual fair market rent for improved air side properties located at the Redmond Municipal Airport. The effective date of value is May 7, 2019. This rent study has been written to conform with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) set forth by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and adopted by the State of Oregon Appraiser Certification and Licensure Board. In the course of research, I have completed a physical inspection of the subject property, as well as a study of comparable rentals. Note that comparable ground leases located at airports outside of the Central Oregon region have not all been physically inspected by the appraiser; however, I have viewed Google maps of the individual airports.

  • On Beta Elements in the Adams-Novikov Spectral Sequence
    Submitted exclusively to the London Mathematical Society doi:10.1112/0000/000000 On β-elements in the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence Hirofumi Nakai and Douglas C. Ravenel Dedicated to Professor Takao Matumoto on his sixtieth birthday Abstract In this paper we detect invariants in the comodule consisting of β-elements over the Hopf algebroid (A(m + 1);G(m + 1)) defined in[Rav02], and we show that some related Ext groups vanish below a certain dimension. The result obtained here will be extensively used in [NR] to extend the range of our knowledge for π∗(T (m)) obtained in[Rav02]. Contents 1. Introduction ................ 1 2.

Introduction In this paper we describe some tools needed in the method of infinite descent, which is an approach to finding the E2-term of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence converging to the stable homotopy groups of spheres. It is the subject of [Rav86, Chapter 7], [Rav04, Chapter 7] and [Rav02]. We begin by reviewing some notation. Fix a prime p. Recall the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP . Its homotopy groups and those of BP ^ BP are known to be polynomial algebras π∗(BP ) = Z(p)[v1; v2 :::] and BP∗(BP ) = BP∗[t1; t2 :::]: In [Rav86, Chapter 6] the second author constructed intermediate spectra 0 ::: S(p) = T (0) / T (1) / T (2) / T (3) / / BP with T (m) is equivalent to BP below the dimension of vm+1.

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

    ON BEYOND HATCHER! ERIC PETERSON In the Fall semester of 2012, Constantin Teleman encouraged me to run a short seminar which would teach attendees about advanced algebraic topology. UC-Berkeley runs a pair of graduate courses in algebraic topology which more or less go through Allen Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology, but there is a long road from there to the forefront of the field. Getting students research-ready inside of four seminar talks is an impossible task, of course, and so instead my goal is to sketch a picture of some of the major components of the field, so that students know enough of the flavor of the subject to at least identify whether they’re intrigued by its questions and its methods, and then further to know where to look to learn more. To reinforce the impression that there’s a lot going on in algebraic topology, each day will be very distinctly flavored from the others, and no day will require absolutely understanding any day that came before it. In the same vein, few things will be completely proven, but I hope to at least define the topological things under discussion. Some knowledge from related fields (algebraic geometry, primarily) will be assumed without hesitation. Each of these talks is meant to last roughly 50 minutes. The reader should additionally be warned that, due to my limited worldliness, these notes are bent sharply toward what I consider interesting. This means that they are highly algebraic, and they make no mention of exciting geometric things in stable homotopy theory — like string topology, for one example of many.
