Star-products, spectral analysis, and hyperfunctions
2000
We study the ⋆-exponential function U(t;X) of any element X in the affine symplectic Lie algebra of the Moyal ⋆-product on the symplectic manifold (ℝ × ℝ;ω). When X is a compact element, a natural specific candidate for U (t;X) to be the exponential function is suggested by the study we make in the non-compact case. U (t;X) has singularities in the t variable. The analytic continuation U(z;X),z = t + iy, defines two boundary values δ+ U (t;X) = limy↓0 U(z;X) and δ-(t;X) = limy↑0 U(z; X). δ+ U (t;X) is a distribution while δ- U (t;X) is a Beurling-type, Gevrey-class s — 2 ultradistribution. We compute the Fourier transforms in t of δ± U (t;X). Both Fourier spectra are discrete but different …
A comparison between nailfold capillaroscopy patterns in adulthood in juvenile and adult-onset systemic sclerosis: A EUSTAR exploratory study.
2015
Objective: Qualitative capillaroscopy patterns in juvenile- and adult-onset systemic sclerosis (SSc) were studied in adulthood using data from the EULAR Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) database. Methods: Data collected between June 2004 and April 2013 were examined with focus on capillaroscopy. In this retrospective exploratory study, series of patients with juvenile-onset SSc were matched with series of adult-onset SSc having the same gender and autoantibody profile. Results: 30 of 123 patients with juvenile-onset and 2108 of 7133 with adult-onset SSc had data on capillaroscopy. Juvenile-onset SSc showed scleroderma pattern more frequently than adult-onset SSc (93.3% and 88%). The…
