โœฆ Synopsis

We exhibit new invariants of the contact structure E(a), the contact flow F, and the transverse symplectic geometry of a contact manifold (M, a). The invariant of contact structures generalizes to transversally oriented foliations. We focus on the particular cases of orientations of smooth manifolds and transverse orientations of foliations. We define the transverse Calabi invariants and determine their kernels.

In our previous work oriented quantum algebras were motivated and introduced in a very natural categorical setting within the context of knots and links, some examples were discussed, and a rudimentary theory of oriented quantum algebras was sketched. Invariants of knots and links can be computed fr

Transverse sections of carbon fibers prepared from two different lots of dehydrated polyvinyl alcohol fibers, with and without graphitizing treatment, were observed by both polarized light and scanning electron microscopy. Several different types of transverse layer plane preferred orientation were
