Elastic pbar-d scattering is studied within the Glauber theory based on the single- and double pbar-N scattering mechanisms. The full spin dependence of the elementary pbar-N scattering amplitudes is taken into account and both the S- and D-wave comp...
We consider the conditions of peace and violence among ethnic groups, testing a theory designed to predict the locations of violence and interventions that can promote peace. Characterizing the model's success in predicting peace requires examples wh...
We study a pair (\mathcal{S}_0,\mathcal{S}) of irreducible Hermitian Symmetric Spaces of compact type (cHSS) in this paper, with the first aim being classifying all the admissible pairs (\mathcal{S}_0,\mathcal{S})). This notion is a natural generaliz...
There is broad agreement in the literature that explanation methods should be faithful to the model that they explain, but faithfulness remains a rather vague term. We revisit faithfulness in the context of continuous data and propose two formal defi...
This paper proposes a novel method to identify unexpected structures in 2D floor plans using the concept of Bayesian Surprise. Taking into account that a person's expectation is an important aspect of the perception of space, we exploit the theory of...
Background. From information theory, surprisal is a measurement of how unexpected an event is. Statistical language models provide a probabilistic approximation of natural languages, and because surprisal is constructed with the probability of an eve...
What is ethics? The term ethics may refer to the philosophical study of the concepts of moral right and wrong and moral good and bad, to any philosophical theory of what is morally right and wrong or …
We study the propagation of orientation waves in a director field with rotational inertia and potential energy given by the Oseen-Frank energy functional from the continuum theory of nematic liquid crystals. There are two types of waves, which we c...
Some background: I’m a master’s student in mathematics, and during my bachelor’s degree, I took a course on stochastic calculus. I took it because I enjoyed both measure theory and measure-theor...
Pyknotic objects are (hyper)sheaves on the site of compacta. These provide a convenient way to do algebra and homotopy theory with additional topological information present. This appears, for example, when trying to contemplate the derived category...
A modified version of panspermia theory, named Nebula-Relay hypothesis or local panspermia, is introduced to explain the origin of life on Earth. Primitive life, acting as the seeds of life on Earth, originated at pre-solar epoch through physicochemi...
We present a non-linear difference-differential equation whoes Galois group is a non-commutative and non-co-comutative Hopf algebra....
We present the formal definition of meme in the sense of the equivalence between memetics and the theory of cultural evolution. From the formal definition we find that culture can be seen analytically and persuade that memetic gives important role...
In this paper, we present betting strategy of a football game using probability theory. We know all betting houses offer slightly unfair odds towards the player. Here we discuss a simple way to figure out which betting house is offering relatively be...
These expository notes are a somewhat embellished version of two rather informal evening review sessions given by the second author at the 2008 Bedlewo summer school on "Dynamical Systems - Geometric Structures and Rigidity"; they provide a brief ove...
All the known cases of the $ΔI=4$ bifurcation in the SD bands are analysed in the framework of the microscopic theory suggested by the author [Phys. Rev. C 55 (1997) 1275]. It is shown that the intruder orbitals are of paramount importance to the...
Hi all, I'd love some input and am happy to edit this with anything you believe will strengthen it. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any improvement suggestions! **Trump's "Witch Hunt" ...
This brief article discusses some aspects of quantum theory and their impact on popular culture. The basic features of quantum entanglement between two or more parties are introduced in a language suitable for a general audience, and metaphorically...
The proprietary nature of Hedge Fund investing means that it is common practise for managers to release minimal information about their returns. The construction of a Fund of Hedge Funds portfolio requires a correlation matrix which often has to be e...
We relate the variance theory for Cousin complexes -^# developed by Lipman, Nayak and the author to Grothendieck duality for Cousin complexes. Specifically for a Cousin complex F on (Y, Δ)--with Δa codimension function on a formal scheme Y (noeth...
