  • The 'Crisis of Noosphere'

    The 'Crisis of Noosphere'

    The ‘crisis of noosphere’ as a limiting factor to achieve the point of technological singularity Rafael Lahoz-Beltra Department of Applied Mathematics (Biomathematics). Faculty of Biological Sciences. Complutense University of Madrid. 28040 Madrid, Spain. [email protected] 1. Introduction One of the most significant developments in the history of human being is the invention of a way of keeping records of human knowledge, thoughts and ideas. The storage of knowledge is a sign of civilization, which has its origins in ancient visual languages e.g. in the cuneiform scripts and hieroglyphs until the achievement of phonetic languages with the invention of Gutenberg press. In 1926, the work of several thinkers such as Edouard Le Roy, Vladimir Ver- nadsky and Teilhard de Chardin led to the concept of noosphere, thus the idea that human cognition and knowledge transforms the biosphere coming to be something like the planet’s thinking layer. At present, is commonly accepted by some thinkers that the Internet is the medium that brings life to noosphere. Hereinafter, this essay will assume that the words Internet and noosphere refer to the same concept, analogy which will be justified later. 2 In 2005 Ray Kurzweil published the book The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology predicting an exponential increase of computers and also an exponential progress in different disciplines such as genetics, nanotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence. The exponential evolution of these technologies is what is called Kurzweil’s “Law of Accelerating Returns”. The result of this rapid progress will lead to human beings what is known as tech- nological singularity.

Well-posedness for the space-time Monopole Equation and Ward Wave Map. Publication No. Magdalena Czubak, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2008 Supervisor: Karen Uhlenbeck We study local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for two geometric wave equations that can be derived from Anti-Self-Dual Yang Mills equations on R2+2. These are the space-time Monopole Equation and the Ward Wave Map. The equations can be formulated in different ways. For the formulations we use, we establish local well-posedness results, which are sharp using the iteration methods. v Table of Contents Abstract v Chapter 1.

  • Opening Ceremony

    Opening Ceremony

    Opening ceremony Sir John Ball, President of the International Mathematical Union Your Majesty, Señor Ruiz Gallardón, Señora Cabrera, Señora Aguirre, Professor Manuel de León, Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, ¡Bienvenidos al ICM dos mil seis! Welcome to ICM 2006, the 25th International Congress of Mathematicians, and the first ICM to be held in Spain. We offer our heartfelt thanks to the Spanish nation, so rich in history and culture, for its invitation to Madrid. We greatly appreciate that His Majesty King Juan Carlos is honouring mathematics by His presence here today. While celebrating this feast of mathematics, with the many talking-points that it will provide, it is worth reflecting on the ways in which our community functions. Mathematics is a profession of high standards and integrity. We freely discuss our work with others without fear of it being stolen, and research is communicated openly prior to formal publication. Editorial procedures are fair and proper, and work gains its reputation through merit and not by how it is promoted. These are the norms operated by the vast majority of mathematicians. The exceptions are rare, and they are noticed. Mathematics has a strong record of service, freely given. We see this in the time and care spent in the refereeing of papers and other forms of peer review. We see it in the running of mathematical societies and journals, in the provision of free mathematical software and teaching resources, and in the various projects world-wide to improve electronic access to the mathematical literature, old and new. We see it in the nurturing of students beyond the call of duty.

The notion of a Lagrangian covering can be used to extend the method of polarizing a nilpotent coadjoint orbit to obtain a unitary representation of G. W. Graham and D. Vogan propose such a construction, relying on the notions of orbital varieties and admissible orbit data. The first part of the thesis seeks to understand the set of orbital varieties contained in a given nipotent orbit. Starting from N. Spaltenstein’s parameterization of the irreducible components of the variety of flags fixed by a unipotent, we produce a parameterization of the orbital varieties lying in the corresponding fiber of the Steinberg map.
