Jonathan V. Caalim and Clarisson Rizzie P. Canlubo Institute of Mathematics, College of Science University of the Philippines Diliman On the Lie algebra associated to S-unitary matrices. Linear Algebra Appl 553 (2018), 167-181. doi.org/10.1016/j.laa.2018.05.010. This article deals with a natural generalization of unitary groups arising from sesquilinear forms (which are assumed neither Hermitian nor skew-Hermitian). Let S be a square matrix of size n. We say a nonsingular square matrix A of size n is S-unitary if ASA*=S. The set of all S-unitary matrices is a matrix Lie group. It is an interesting problem to classify these Lie groups and […]

UP ranking in Asia-Pacific rises
The University of the Philippines moves up to the top 101-110 universities of the Asia-Pacific region, leaping from its place in the 151-160 bracket in 2018 and in the 201+ bracket in 2017, based on the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia-Pacific University Ranking released on February 20, 2019. To come up with the ranking, THE analyzes universities across East Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania using the same performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings 2019. This year, the ranking for Asia-Pacific universities features the top 300. UP and De La Salle University are the only universities in the Philippines that made it […]
Simple invisibility cloak from off-the-shelf lenses
Invisibility cloaks are common in folklore and fiction. The notion of hiding or rendering an object transparent strikes the fancy of many, especially writers. In J.K.Rowling’s book “The Tales of Beedle theBard,” one of the three brothers escaped Death by putting on an invisibility cloak that was given by Death himself. The cloak was passed down through generations until it reached the hands of Harry Potter who eventually defeated Voldemort with the help of the same cloak. Even scientists are intrigued by the concept of invisibility. For many years, they have proposed, developed and mounted different optical systems to achieve […]

IPA Recipients for January 2019
Judy Celine Ick Department of English and Comparative Literature College of Arts and Letters UP Diliman “The Forests of Silence: Global Shakespeare in the Philippines, the Philippines in Global Shakespeare,” Shakespeare Survey 71, 26-34. To use the term “global” alongside “Shakespeare” is just too delicious a temptation for most academics and artists to pass up. The conjuring of the Shakespearean ground zero, of its point of artistic origin, and the simultaneous invocation of its contemporary world-wide influence makes the phrase “global Shakespeare” almost too good to be true. Just how does Shakespeare exist in the production of Global Shakespeare? How […]
