All features of the experimental image are successfully reproduced. Additionally, the comparison between experiment and simulation allows the maxima in the experimental image to be identified as the actual positions of the xenon

The photocurrent transients are dominated by a plateau-like feature due to the build up of space charge at the intensities used. Increasing bias voltage increases the height of the plateau and decreases its length. In the low-dose range the length of the transient increases linearly with dose and the collected charge (integrated current) reaches a constant value. At high doses (above 10-5 J/pulse · cm2 or 2.7×1013 quanta/pulse · cm2) considerable charge loss (decrease in quantum yields) is accompanied by a less than proportional increase of the transient lifetime. From model calculations the dose and voltage dependence of the quantum yield of charge collection is shown to be the result of competition between current flow and first and higher order recombination. The model calculations are consistent with experimental results. Rate constants have been obtained by fitting.

We show that one can define generalized theta-functions as holomorphic elements of projective modules over noncommutative tori (theta-vectors). The theory of these new objects is not only more general, but also much simpler than the theory of ordinary theta-functions. It seems that the theory of theta-vectors should be closely related to Manin's theory of quantized theta-functions, but we don't analyze this relation.

We show that this notion can be used to formulate superconformal field theories with different number of supersymmetries in holomorphic and antiholomorphic sectors.

We express the mirror map in terms of Frobenius transformation on p-adic cohomology . We discuss a ppp-adic interpretation of the conjecture about integrality of Gopakumar-Vafa invariants.

If a pair of difference operators (K,L) obey the relation KL=const LK we say that they specify a discrete quantum curve. This terminology is prompted by well known results about commuting differential and difference operators, relating pairs of such operators with pairs of meromorphic functions on algebraic curves obeying some conditions. The goal of this paper is to study the moduli spaces of quantum curves. We will show how to quantize a pair of commuting differential or difference operators (i.e. to construct the corresponding quantum curve or discrete quantum curve). The KP-hierarchy acts on the moduli space of quantum curves; we prove that similarly the discrete KP-hierarchy acts on the moduli space of discrete quantum curves.
