... In this talk, I will discuss a study of the effect of ionization on the low end of HI mass function. The existence of a large population of low mass galaxies follows from CDM theory. ... HIDEEP found no low HI column density galaxies. One possible explanation is that the disks are "frozen". ... We assume that galaxies are exposed to an ionizing background radiation, from a uniform quasar distribution. ... We find a gap in the average column densities around N H which drops to 10 17 cm -2 . ...

In astrophysics, the optical constants mainly are used to calculate the optical properties of scatterers, i.e. cross-sections, scattering matrix, etc. ... Optical properties derived from such models have been discussed in some books (see, e.g., [ 2 , 3 ]) and in principle can be calculated by using various light-scattering tools which are freely available via the internet [ 4 ]. ...

... Matrices and their invariants, such as order, rank, determinant, play an outstanding role in mathematics. ... To be a little more precise, nonzero square matrices of order $r+1$ (modulo multiplication by a nonzero constant) are represnted by points of the projective space $\Bbb P^{(r+1)^2-1}$. Geometrically, we consider the subvariety of matrices of rank one which is just the Segre variety $S=\Bbb P^r\times\Bbb P^r\subset\Bbb P^{(r+1)^2-1}$. ...
