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=

We investigate mirror symmetry for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds from the perspective of the SYZ conjecture. Starting with a non-toric special Lagrangian torus fibration on a toric Calabi-Yau manifold $X$, we construct a complex manifold $\check{X}$ using T-duality modified by quantum corrections. These corrections are encoded by Fourier transforms of generating functions of certain open Gromov-Witten invariants. We conjecture that this complex manifold $\check{X}$, which belongs to the Hori-Iqbal-Vafa mirror family, is inherently written in canonical flat coordinates. In particular, we obtain an enumerative meaning for the (inverse) mirror maps, and this gives a geometric reason for why their Taylor series expansions in terms of the K\"ahler parameters of $X$ have integral coefficients. Applying the results in \cite{Chan10} and \cite{LLW10}, we compute the open Gromov-Witten invariants in terms of local BPS invariants and give evidences of our conjecture for several 3-dimensional examples including $K_{\proj^2}$ and $K_{\proj^1\times\proj^1}$.

The paper presents a study of Fuglede’s $p$ -module of systems of measures in condensers in polarizable Carnot groups. In particular, we calculate the $p$ -module of measures in spherical ring domains, find the extremal measures, and finally, extend a theorem by Rodin to these groups.

In this paper we study the singularities of holomorphic functions of bicomplex variables introduced by G. B. Price ($An Introduction to Multicomplex Spaces and Functions$, Dekker, New York,1991). In particular, we use computational algebra techniques to show that even in the case of one bicomplex variable, there cannot be compact singularities. The same techniques allow us to prove a duality theorem for such functions.
