Nitrogen isotopes are an important tool for evaluating past biogeochemical cycling from the paleoceanographic record. However, bulk sedimentary nitrogen isotope ratios, which can be determined routinely and at minimal cost, may be altered during burial and early sedimentary diagenesis, particularly outside of continental margin settings. The causes and detailed mechanisms...
We describe two combinatorial problems in the theory of automorphism groups of compact Riemann surfaces of genus two or greater: enumerate the topological actions of a finite group on surfaces and determine the set of genera of surfaces admitting such a group action, called the genus spectrum. We illustrate results...
We define an inner product on a vector space of adelic measures over a number field $K$. We find that the norm induced by this inner product governs weak convergence at each place of $K$. The canonical adelic measure associated to a rational map is in this vector space, and...
