Abstract:
This article draws attention to the ideas of an unduly neglected Belgian thinker, Hippolyte Colins. From the 1830s, Colins addressed many issues in the political theory of property, especially problems of interpersonal, intergenerational and inter-societal justice. His ideas are discussed in the first section. A critical examination of his arguments about justified property regimes enables contemporary disputes (notably in the work of Nozick and Steiner) to be placed in a fresh perspective, offered in the second section. This locates the difficulty of distinguishing between liberal and socialist commitments to particular property systems.

Abstract:
In this paper, it is about the axiomatic basis of rational choice theory - the theory that is behind making rational choice and decisions. To make rational choices, we would require thinking rationally and understanding the reason and logic behind what makes a choice rational, and how we need to choose rationally. Decisions are made under various circumstances, i.e., under risk, and often under compulsion. In social choice theory, decisions are made by different types of decision making entities, i.e., committees, groups, individuals and collective judgments by various types of organizations, etc. This paper highlights these issues and addresses the fundamental tenets of making rational choices by examining and following the previous workings of experts on this field. As such, it introduces a novel concept and the idea of Social Choice Rationality in choosing what’s rational.

Abstract:
It is claimed that action discourse provides us with a criterion of adequacy for a theory of action; that with action discourse we have a family of concepts which a theory of action must accommodate. After an exegesis of Davidson's essay "Agency", it is argued that his semantics of action is incompatible with our concepts of motivation and responsibility for action and of attributions of action and agency, and must, therefore, be rejected. A theory of rational agency is presented within which are to be found accounts of intention, coming to intend, intentional action, and an alternative semantics of action which connects the action essentially to agency. The theory of rational agency is then used to illuminate the concepts of trying, compulsion, autonomy and involuntariness, mistake, accident, and the so-called active-passive distinction.

Advertising on social media faces a new challenge as consumers can actively choose which advertisers to follow. Tracking company accounts, owned by 93 TV shows on the most popular tweeting website in China, provides evidence that firms advertise intensively, although doing so appears to drive followers away. An analytical model suggests that consumers with limited attention may rationally choose to unfollow a firm. This happens if consumers already know enough about the firm's quality and if the firm advertises too intensely. However, firms might still find intensive advertising the optimal strategy - if a firm is perceived as having a lesser quality offering, it wants to advertise aggressively to change consumers' beliefs about its quality; if a firm is perceived as having a higher quality offering, it also wants to advertise intensively, but in an effort to crowd-out advertising messages from its competitors.

Abstract:
We define the symplectic rational blow-up operation, for a family of rational homology balls \(B_n\), which appeared in Fintushel and Stern's rational blow-down construction. We do this by exhibiting a symplectic structure on a rational homology ball \(B_n\) as a standard symplectic neighborhood of a certain 2-dimensional Lagrangian cell complex. We also study the obstructions to symplectically rationally blowing up a symplectic 4-manifold, i.e. the obstructions to symplectically embedding the rational homology balls \(B_n\) into a symplectic 4-manifold. First, we present a couple of results which illustrate the relative ease with which these rational homology balls can be smoothly embedded into a smooth 4-manifold. Second, we prove a theorem and give additional examples which suggest that in order to symplectically embed the rational homology balls \(B_n\), for high \(n\), a symplectic 4-manifold must at least have a high enough \(c^2_1\) as well.

Abstract:
In this thesis I study various incarnations of rational homotopy theory in the world of arithmetic geometry. In particular, I study unipotent crystalline fundamental groups in the relative setting, proving that for a smooth and proper family of geometrically connected varieties f:X->S in positive characteristic, the rigid fundamental groups of the fibres X_s glue together to give an affine group scheme in the category of overconvergent F-isocrystals on S. I then use this to define a global period map similar to the one used by Minhyong Kim to study rational points on curves over number fields. I also study rigid rational homotopy types, and show how to construct these for arbitrary varieties over a perfect field of positive characteristic. I prove that these agree with previous constructions in the (log-)smooth and proper case, and show that one can recover the usual rigid fundamental groups from these rational homotopy types. When the base field is finite, I show that the natural Frobenius structure on the rigid rational homotopy type is mixed, building on previous results in the log-smooth and proper case using a descent argument. Finally I turn to l-adic étale rational homotopy types, and show how to lift the Galois action on the geometric l-adic rational homotopy type from the homotopy category Ho(Q_l-dga) to get a Galois action on the dga representing the rational homotopy type. Together with a suitable lifted p-adic Hodge theory comparison theorem, this allows me to define a crystalline obstruction for the existence of integral points. I also study the continuity of the Galois action via a suitably constructed category of cosimplicial Q_l-algebras on a scheme.

Abstract:
If X is a simply connected CW complex, then it has a unique (up to isomorphism) minimal Sullivan model. There is an important rational homotopy invariant, called the rational Lusternik–Schnirelmann of X, denoted cat0(X), which has an algebraic formulation in terms of the minimal Sullivan model of X. We study another such numerical invariant called the rational retraction index of X, denoted r0(X), which is defined in terms of the minimal Sullivan model of X and satisfies 0 ≤ r0(X) ≤ cat0(X). It was introduced by Cuvilliez et al. as a tool to estimate the rational Lusternik–Schnirelmann category of the total space of a fibration. In this thesis we compute the rational retraction index on a range of rationally elliptic spaces, including for example spheres, complex projective space, the biquotient Sp(1) \ Sp(3) / Sp(1) × Sp(1), the homogeneous space Sp(3)/U(3) and products of these. In particular, we focus on formal spaces and formulate a conjecture to answer a question posed in the original article of Cuvilliez et al., “If X is formal, what invariant of the algebra H∗(X;Q) is r0(X)?”
