Doubling constructions and tensor product L-functions: coverings of the symplectic group by Eyal Kaplan

“…In this work, we develop an integral representation for the partial L-function of a pair $\pi \times \tau $ of genuine irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations, $\pi $ of the m-fold covering of Matsumoto of the symplectic group $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sp}}_{2n}$ and $\tau $ of a certain covering group of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_k$ , with arbitrary m, n and k. …”

Finite-Time Adaptive Tracking Control for a Class of Pure-Feedback Nonlinear Systems with Disturbances via Decoupling Technique by Qiangqiang Zhu, Ben Niu, Shengtao Li, Peiyong Duan, Dong Yang

“…In our design procedure, an finite-time adaptive controller is elaborately developed using the decoupling technology, which eliminates the limitation assumption on the partial derivatives of nonaffine functions. Furthermore, the constructed controller can stabilize the system within a finite-time so that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly finite-time bounded (SGUFB), while ensuring the tracking performance. …”

Extended Linear and Nonlinear Lorentz Transformations and Superluminality by Dara Faroughy

“…The second scenario infers the preexistence of two rest-mass-dependent superluminal speeds whereby the ELTs are finite at the light speed c . Particle energies are evaluated in this scenario at c for several particles, including the neutrinos, and are auspiciously found to be below the GKZ energy cutoff and in compliance with a host of worldwide ultrahigh energy cosmic ray data. …”
