In the description of isolated gravitating systems in General Relativity a spacelike timeslice has the structure of a complete Riemannian three-manifold with an asymptotically at end. Let (N; g) denote an end of such a complete Riemannian three-manifold, ie N is diffeomorphic to R3\B1 (0), and the metric on N asymptotically approaches the Euclidean metric near infinity: gij=

In this paper we prove the invariance of quantum rings for general ordinary flops, whose local models are certain non-split toric bundles over arbitrary smooth bases. An essential ingredient in the proof is a quantum splitting principle which reduces a statement in Gromov--Witten theory on non-split bundles to the case of split bundles.

Fourier spectral methods achieve exponential accuracy both on the approximation level and for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), if the solution is analytic. If the solution is discontinuous but piecewise analytic up to the discontinuities, Fourier spectral methods produce poor pointwise accuracy, but still maintains exponential accuracy after post-processing. In earlier work, an extended technique is provided to recover exponential accuracy for functions which have end-point singularities, from the knowledge of point values on standard collocation points. In this paper, we develop a technique to recover exponential accuracy from the first $N$ Fourier coefficients of functions which are analytic in the open interval but have unbounded derivative singularities at end points. With this post-processing method, we are able to obtain exponential accuracy of spectral methods applied to linear transport equations involving such functions.
