  • Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields
    Poincare´ meets Korn via Maxwell: Extending Korn's First Inequality to Incompatible Tensor Fields Patrizio Neff, Dirk Pauly, Karl-Josef Witsch May 14, 2014 Dedicated to Rolf Leis on the occasion of his 80th birthday Abstract 3 For a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R with Lipschitz boundary Γ and some relatively open Lipschitz subset Γt 6= ; of Γ, we prove the existence of some c > 0, such that c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym T jj 2 3×3 + jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 (0.1) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) holds for all tensor fields in H(Curl; Ω), i.e., for all square-integrable tensor fields 3×3 3×3 T :Ω ! R with square-integrable generalized rotation Curl T :Ω ! R , having vanishing restricted tangential trace on Γt. If Γt = ;, (0.1) still holds at least for simply connected Ω and for all tensor fields T 2 H(Curl; Ω) which are L2(Ω)-perpendicular to so(3), i.e., to all skew-symmetric constant tensors. Here, both operations, Curl and tangential trace, are to be understood row-wise. For compatible tensor fields T = rv, (0.1) reduces to a non-standard variant of 3 the well known Korn's first inequality in R , namely c jjrvjj 2 3×3 ≤ jjsym rvjj 2 3×3 L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) 1 3 for all vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ), for which rvn, n = 1;:::; 3, are normal at Γt. On 1 3 arXiv:1203.2744v3 [math.AP] 13 May 2014 the other hand, identifying vector fields v 2 H (Ω; R ) (having the proper boundary conditions) with skew-symmetric tensor fields T , (0.1) turns to Poincar´e's inequality since p 2c jjvjj 2 3 = c jjT jj 2 3×3 ≤ jjCurl T jj 2 3×3 ≤ 2 jjrvjj 2 3 : L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) L (Ω;R ) Therefore, (0.1) may be viewed as a natural common generalization of Korn's first and Poincar´e'sinequality.

THE Belgian academy of sciences announces the following prize problem for the year 1914: "Present a contribution to the study of the properties of analytic functions which cannot take certain values in a given domain." Competing memoirs should be prepared under the usual conditions and be in the hands of the secretary before August 1, 1914. The prize is fr. 1000. AN international committee has recently been formed to promote the establishment of uniform notations in the theories of potential and elasticity by international cooperation. In its first circular the committee requests from astronomers, mathematicians, and physicists replies to the following question: What are the notions and notations in respect of which it is desirable to establish uniformity? The replies will be collated as soon as possible, and a second circular will then be issued inviting suggestions as to the methods by which uniformity may be brought about.

In the verbal description of the project, the architects make the following explicit claims for the glass theater: 1. A “radically open” building that links stage, building, and city, facilitating “unconventional relationships between artist and audience.” 2. Visual transparency, specifically, that the building acts as “built signage” for the arts center and the city, putting the performances on display. 3. A simple, open plan that lends a contemporary “workshop atmosphere.” In drawings, the simple yet dramatic intervention casts an inspiring newness to the neighborhood without defacing the brick relic of Emeryville’s industrial past. The tone of the presentation was 68 Katie Ackerly straightforward, elegant, and filled with light, both emanating out from the building and filling interior spaces.1 Once the project won the competition and entered design development, it was determined through conversations with the city and performing arts groups that the amount of glass would need to be dramatically reduced.

Size: Sound recordings: 10 sound cassettes Transcript: 188 p. Collection Summary: An interview of Denise Scott Brown conducted 1990 Oct. 25-1991 Nov. 9, by Peter Reed, for the Archives of American Art. Scott Brown discusses her family background and growing up in South Africa; her education at the University of Witwatersrand, the Architectural Association, London, a summer school in Venice, sponsored by Congres Internationale d'Architecture Moderne, and the University of Pennsylvania, recalling some of her teachers (including Arthur Korn and Louis Kahn); her first husband, Robert Scott Brown, and their travels throughout Europe and experiences in Pennsylvania; her teaching philosophy and experiences at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Harvard, UCLA, and Berkeley; the architecture program at Penn from her perspective as a student and as a member of the faculty; meeting Robert Venturi, their work together, the firm and the difficulties encountered in the 1970s and 1980s, some of their projects such as the National Gallery, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and planning work; publications such as "Complexity and Contradiction," "Urban concepts," "Worm's Eye View," and "Learning from Las Vegas;" postmodern architecture; critics; and her experiences as a woman in the field. Biographical/Historical Note: Denise Scott Brown (1931- ) is an architect of Philadelphia, Pa. This interview is part of the Archives of American Art Oral History Program, started in 1958 to document the history of the visual arts in the United States, primarily through interviews with artists, historians, dealers, critics and administrators.

  • Postscript: Urban Blind Spots
    113 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.6 (1) PostScript: Urban Blind Spots Florian Kossak, Tatjana Schneider & Stephen Walker Blind spots exist in every society, culture, and urban fabric. They can be spatial, social, economic, or policy related. On the one hand, blind spots are typically situations or topics that are obscured by other themes; they fall beyond our radar because they are neither considered topical nor pressing enough to be addressed by policy or planning, or picked up in the media. Blind spots are created by particular ways of seeing, which re-iterate a ‘Western’ canon of urban history or an urban discourse that focuses on those global, fast growing metropolises that provide us with a high level of imagery, staggering data and socio-spatial extremes. On the other hand, blind spots also describe necessary locations of informality; places and spaces which are overlooked by the authorities, by planning or other users, and thereby allow for indeterminate, unregulated, informal, non-prescribed and open uses. This is not to suggest that the relative importance or challenge of blind spots is determined by their size, materiality, scale or location. Blind spots also relate to approaches, research and teaching projects, where they play a similar double role, both as a product of obscuration and an opportunity for exploration. Indeed, this double role is inevitable, as blind spots are arguably product and productive of the ways we grasp the world around and beyond us. Accepting the impossibility of the total view, Lewis Mumford noted ‘No human eye can take in this metropolitan 1 Lewis Mumford, The City in History: mass at a glance.’1 Many thinkers have developed metaphors from the Its Origins, Its Transformations, way the eye sees, and applied these to aspects of our broader engagement and Its Prospects (San Diego, with the world.
