A Fourier Inversion Theorem for Normal Functions

We prove an inversion theorem for the Fourier transform defined for normal functions, in the case when such functions are of moderate decrease, and in dimensions 2 and 3. This improves on Carleson's general almost everywhere convergence result for square integrable functions to everywhere convergence, in the special case of normal functions of moderate decrease. The class of normal functions appear in Physics and the everywhere convergence is important for further analysis of wave equations and no radiation properties of electromagnetic fields.

Functions Analytic at Infinity and Normality

Given a charge and current distribution with compact support, the associated potentials and fields are generally not integrable in the classical sense. However, it is convenient to be able to define their Fourier transform in order to create solutions to the wave equation. This paper develops the technology for this by considering the class of quasi split normal functions, examples of which are the solutions to Poisson's equation with a forcing term having compact support.

Some Arguments for the Wave Equation in Quantum Theory 3

We prove there exists a charge solution to the 1-dimensional wave equation, and a corresponding current, such that the pair satisfy the continuity equation. We show that when they are extended to a smooth solution of the continuity equation on a vanishing annulus containing the unit circle, with a corresponding causal solution to Maxwell's equations, obtained from Jefimenko's equations, the power radiated at infinity in a time cycle is zero.

Equilibria in Electrochemistry and Maximal Rates of Reaction

We consider Gibbs' definition of chemical equilibrium and connect it with dynamic equilibrium, in terms of no substance formed. We determine the activity coefficient as a function of temperature and pressure, in reactions with or without interaction of a solvent, incorporating the error terms from Raoult's Law and Henry's Law, if necessary. We compute the maximal reaction paths and apply the results to electrochemistry, using the Nernst equation.

Some Arguments for the Wave Equation in Quantum Theory 2

We prove that if the frame S is decaying surface non-radiating, in the sense of Definition 1.1, then if the charge and current are analytic, either they both vanish, or S is non-radiating, in the sense of a previous paper. In particularly, by the result there, the charge and current satisfy certain wave equations in all frames S', connected to S by a real velocity vector, whose magnitude is less than the speed of light.

Some Arguments for the Wave Equation in Quantum Theory

We clarify some arguments concerning Jefimenko's equations, as a way of constructing solutions to Maxwell's equations, for charge and current satisfying the continuity equation. We then isolate a condition on non-radiation in all inertial frames, which is intuitively reasonable for the stability of an atomic system, and prove that the condition is equivalent to the charge and current satisfying certain relations, including the wave equations. Finally, we prove that with these relations, the energy in the electromagnetic field is quantised and displays the properties of the Balmer series.

Nonstandard Methods for Solving the Heat Equation

We apply convergence results for discrete Markov chains, to prove the existence of an equilibrium limit in the nonstandard heat equation. We construct a nonstandard backward martingale from a nonstandard solution, and show, using the Feynman-Kac method, how to derive an explicit formula for such solutions, when the initial condition is S-continuous. Finally, we prove that that the nonstandard solution to the heat equation, with a smooth initial condition, specialises to the classical solution.

Nonstandard Martingales, Markov Chains and the Heat Equation

We construct a nonstandard martingale from a discrete Markov chain. This is shown to be useful for solving the heat equation with a non smooth initial condition. We show that the nonstandard solution to the heat equation with a smooth initial condition specialises to the classical solution.

A Nonstandard Approach to Equidistribution

Using nonstandard analysis, we generalise a classical result on equidistributions to integrable functions, and give an application of the Weil conjectures for algebraic curves, to equidistribution in characteristic zero.

A Theory of Harmonic Variations

We consider a class of "harmonic variations" for nonsingular curves, obtained as asymptotic degenerations along bitangents. On a geometric level, we obtain an attractive relationship between the class and the genus of $C$. The distribution of class points in pairs across nonsingular curves with such variations, further suggests applications to understanding covalent bonding in terms of shared electrons.

A Theory of Branches for Algebraic Curves

This paper develops some of the methods of the "Italian School" of algebraic geometry in the context of infinitesimals. The results of this paper have no claim to originality, they can be found in Severi, we have only made the arguments acceptable by modern standards. However, as the question of rigor was the main criticism of their approach, this is still a useful project. The results are limited to algebraic curves. As well as being interesting in their own right, it is hoped that these may also help the reader to appreciate their sophisticated approach to algebraic surfaces and an understanding of singularities. The constructions are also relevant to current research in Zariski structures, which have played a major role both in model theoretic applications to diophantine geometry and in recent work on non-commutative geometry.
