Pro ject Summary presented for Pierre Deligne's and "Dynasty" fund contests ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF ZETA FUNCTIONS ALEXEY ZYKIN The starting point of our research pro ject is the classical Brauer­Siegel theorem which is one the milestones of number theory of the past century. ... M. Tsfasman and S. Vl ё generalized this theorem to the case of families of almost normal adut global fields where the degree growths fast enough compared to the discriminant. ...

... Physical Properties of Crystals . ... The course is an introduction into crystal physics and consists of two introductory parts devoted to the basics of crystallography and tensor analysis and six main chapters in which the physical phenomena in anisotropic medium are described by the example of the elastic, electrical and magnetic crystal properties. The effect of symmetry is also discussed. ... Effect of symmetry on crystal properties. ... Effect of symmetry on crystal optical properties. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

... We are developing the following problems: a) combine optical and microwave technic to the indication of non-linear surface waves and wave breaking field; b) modelling of microwave propagation in a multiphase air-water interface; c) obtain quantitative dependencies of microwave radiation on geometry and statistics of wave breaking field in ocean surface; d) monitoring of ocean surface states using optical amd microwave airspace data sets. ... Important issue is spray and underwater bubbles. ...

... 1) Studying distributions of stars of different ages in irregular and spiral galaxies we found for each galaxy a clear correlation between the age of stars and the spatial size of the subsystems of stars of this age. ... We made a stellar photometry of eight NGC 1313 fields and of its dwarf companion AM 0319-662 and studied the visible distribution of stars of different ages and of metallicity in the galaxy. ... This disappeared galaxy was the cause of the gravitational deformation of NGC 1313. ...
