Little Anodynes Poems


Free Download Jon Pineda, "Little Anodynes: Poems "
English | ISBN: 1611175259 | 2015 | 72 pages | EPUB, PDF | 252 KB + 1025 KB
WINNER OF THE 2016 LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA LITERARY AWARD FOR POETRY The third collection by the prize-winning Asian American poet Jon Pineda, Little Anodynes is a sequence of lyrical, personal narratives that continue Pineda’s exploration of his biracial identity, the haunting loss of his sister, and the joys―and fears―of fatherhood. With its title inspired by Emily Dickinson, Little Anodynes offers its poems as "respites," as breaks in the reader’s life that serve as opportunities for discovery and healing. Pineda deftly uses shortened lines and natural pauses to create momentum, which allows the poems to play out in a manner evocative of fine cinema, as if someone had left a projector running and these narratives were flickering and blending endlessly in an experience shared by the viewer, the storyteller, and the story itself.

Formality of the little N-disks operad


Free Download Formality of the little N-disks operad By Pascal Lambrechts, Ismar Volic
2014 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 0821892126 | PDF | 2 MB
The little N -disks operad, B , along with its variants, is an important tool in homotopy theory. It is defined in terms of configurations of disjoint N -dimensional disks inside the standard unit disk in Rn and it was initially conceived for detecting and understanding N -fold loop spaces. Its many uses now stretch across a variety of disciplines including topology, algebra, and mathematical physics. In this paper, the authors develop the details of Kontsevich’s proof of the formality of little N -disks operad over the field of real numbers. More precisely, one can consider the singular chains C * ( B R) on B as well as the singular homology H * (( B R) on B . These two objects are operads in the category of chain complexes. The formality then states that there is a zig-zag of quasi-isomorphisms connecting these two operads. The formality also in some sense holds in the category of commutative differential graded algebras. The authors additionally prove a relative version of the formality for the inclusion of the little m-disks operad in the little N -disks operad when N 2m 1
