Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. ... This turbulence, along with the Keplerian velocity gradients and the blending of the three hyperfine components to form the 6 16 --5 32 masing transition of water, are key ingredients in determining the appearance of the polarized spectra that are calculated. ...

Summary of A. Skop enkov's prop osal This proposal concerns the classical Knotting Problem in topology: classify embeddings of a given space into another given space up to isotopy. ... The Knotting Problem is known to be hard. ... The Knotting Problem is most interesting for manifolds of dimension at most 4, because embeddings of such manifolds often appear in other branches of mathematics and its applications. ... For N not a homology sphere until 2005 no description of the orbits was known. ...
