Twistor Fibration

The set of all complex lines of the right-handed Dirac spinor bundle of a standard six-sphere is the total space of the twistor fibration. The twistor space, endowed with its natural Kähler structure, is recognised to be a six-dimensional complex quadric. The relevant group is Spin(7), which acts transitively on the six-quadric, as a group of fiber-preserving isometries. We use a result due to Berard-Bérgery and Matsuzawa to show the existence of a non-Kähler, non symmetric, Hermitian-Einstein metric on the six-quadric, which is Spin(7)-invariant.

Engineering Investigation

Forensic investigations of water leakage through building envelopes often involve complex investigation techniques and testing. In many cases, forensic investigators perform testing under controlled conditions to recreate the leaks and to determine whether design and/or construction defects resulted in leaks. However, construction-related litigation involves complex lines of contractual responsibility and multiple parties. As such, allocating responsibility to various parties requires an increased level of scrutiny. This paper provides an overview of typical construc-tion defect cases and how the lines of contractual obligations can impact the scope of investigation by a forensic engineer. As a case history, a forensic engineering investigation of water leakage reported in a recently constructed building will be reviewed. The plaintiffs’ experts performed testing to recreate the leaks, and adequately proved that the designs or construction methods of the exterior walls were defective. However, they were unable to prove causation attributed to one prime contractor who did not settle prior to trial. At trial, the defendant’s expert demonstrated other potential paths of water leakage that were not attributed to the defendant, raising sufficient doubts about the liability of the sole defendant at trial.
