Abstract:

Historically, Mukai's equivalence with the Poincare bundle on the product of an abelian variety and its dual as kernel was the fist Fourier-Mukai transform. The first section in this chapter functions as a reminder of the basic facts from the rich theory of abelian varieties, and the case of principally polarized abelian varieties is studied. A general investigation of derived equivalences between abelian varieties and derived autoequivalences of a single abelian variety is included.

Abstract:

Higher-function words such as complementizers, negation, functional prepositions, definiteness particles, comparative markers, and so forth, occurring to the left of their lexical category, are argued to be base-generated as complex left branches, rather than spelling out the main functional sequence. This is generalized to all (base-generated) pre-asymmetries and post-asymmetries and derived from the structure of the lexical entries of the function words, dispensing with idiosyncratic notational devices equivalent to [+ suffix] or [+ needs-to-move]. These complex left branches require a merge

In this article, an equivalence between the category of Higgs bundles and that of “generalized representations” of the étale fundamental group is constructed for curves over a p-adic field. The definition of “generalized representations” uses p-adic Hodge theory and almost étale coverings, and it includes usual representations which form a full subcategory. The equivalence depends on the choice of an exponential function for the multipli

This article focuses on three themes concerning determinism and indeterminism. The first is observational equivalence between deterministic and indeterministic models. The article discusses several results about observational equivalence and presents an argument on how to choose between deterministic and indeterministic models involving indirect evidence. The second is whether Newtonian physics is indeterministic. The article argues that the answer depends on what one takes Newtonian mechanics to be and highlights how contemporary debates on this issue differ from those in the nineteenth centu

Abstract:

Within their cosmic ecology, the Athenians took it for granted that their polis was a “communion” (koinonia) of households, so in their experience there could be no equivalents of our modern distinctions between state and society or political and social realms. Households (oikoi) functioned as the cells of the social body, such that the vitality of the parts was inseparable from the vitality of the whole. Thus, the human “government” of the polis began not with assembly meetings but with the management of its constituent oikoi, which were the primary means of life and livelihood for all Atheni

Abstract:

This chapter discusses financing devices that, although performing an equivalent function to security interests, are not generally considered ‘security’ under English law. These devices fall into two main categories: those involving the retention and those involving the transfer of title. Such financing devices are often called ‘quasi-security’ interests, to acknowledge that their economic function, in ‘securing’ the performance of obligations, is the same as that of true ‘security’.

Abstract:

Barbour and Bertotti’s Mach–Poincaré Principle can be realized in classical mechanics with a mathematical procedure which was beyond the grasp of Leibniz or Newton, and turns out to be equivalent to modern gauge theory. This is the formulation of a variational principle based on ‘best matching’: one transforms subsequent configurations of the system with the Euclidean group, and by minimizing a certain functional a notion of ‘equilocality’ is established: now it makes sense to say that a particle comes back to the same point at different times.

Abstract:

In quantum statistics based on many-body Green’s functions, the effective medium is represented by the selfenergy. This book aims to discuss the selfenergy from this point of view. The knowledge of the exact selfenergy is equivalent to the knowledge of the exact correlation function from which one can evaluate any single-particle observable. Complete interpretations of the selfenergy are as rich as the properties of the many-body systems. It will be shown that classical features are helpful to understand the selfenergy, but in many cases we have to include additional aspects describing the int

Abstract:

This chapter demonstrates how financing devices that involve either the retention or the transfer of title, although performing an equivalent function to security interests, are generally not considered ‘security’ under English law. Hence, the general characteristics that security interests display when they are enforced, in particular the obligation of the secured creditor to account for any surplus and the obligation of the debtor to make good any deficit, do not rise. The financing devices, being straightforward commercial contracts, are enforced according to their terms, without the applic

Abstract:

The quality of data collected in official spatial databases is crucial in making strategic decisions as well as in the implementation of planning and design works. Awareness of the level of the quality of these data is also important for individual users of official spatial data.
