On the Completeness of the Quasinormal Modes of the Poeschl-Teller Potential

The completeness of the quasinormal modes of the wave equation with Poeschl-Teller potential is investigated. A main result is that after a large enough time $t_0$, the solutions of this equation corresponding to $C^{\infty}$-data with compact support can be expanded uniformly in time with respect to the quasinormal modes, thereby leading to absolutely convergent series. Explicit estimates for $t_0$ depending on both the support of the data and the point of observation are given. For the particular case of an ``early'' time and zero distance between the support of the data and observational point, it is shown that the corresponding series is not absolutely convergent, and hence that there is no associated sum which is independent of the order of summation.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Comm.

Results on the spectrum of R-Modes of slowly rotating relativistic stars

The paper considers the spectrum of axial perturbations of slowly uniformly rotating general relativistic stars in the framework of Y. Kojima. In a first step towards a full analysis only the evolution equations are treated but not the constraint. Then it is found that the system is unstable due to a continuum of non real eigenvalues. In addition the resolvent of the associated generator of time evolution is found to have a special structure which was discussed in a previous paper. From this structure it follows the occurrence of a continuous part in the spectrum of oscillations at least if the system is restricted to a finite space as is done in most numerical investigations. Finally, it can be seen that higher order corrections in the rotation frequency can qualitatively influence the spectrum of the oscillations. As a consequence different descriptions of the star which are equivalent to first order could lead to different results with respect to the stability of the star

Conceptual design and feasibility evaluation model of a 10 to the 8th power bit oligatomic mass memory. Volume 2: Feasibility evaluation model

The partially populated oligatomic mass memory feasibility model is described and evaluated. A system was desired to verify the feasibility of the oligatomic (mirror) memory approach as applicable to large scale solid state mass memories
