Graded polynomial identities and exponential growth

2009

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra over a field of characteristic zero graded by a finite abelian group $G$. Here we study a growth function related to the graded polynomial identities satisfied by $A$ by computing the exponential rate of growth of the sequence of graded codimensions of $A$. We prove that the $G$-exponent of $A$ exists and is an integer related in an explicit way to the dimension of a suitable semisimple subalgebra of $A$.

Truncated modules and linear presentations of vector bundles

2018

We give a new method to construct linear spaces of matrices of constant rank, based on truncated graded cohomology modules of certain vector bundles as well as on the existence of graded Artinian modules with pure resolutions. Our method allows one to produce several new examples, and provides an alternative point of view on the existing ones.

Quantum moment maps and invariants for G-invariant star products

2002

We study a quantum moment map and propose an invariant for $G$-invariant star products on a $G$-transitive symplectic manifold. We start by describing a new method to construct a quantum moment map for $G$-invariant star products of Fedosov type. We use it to obtain an invariant that is invariant under $G$-equivalence. In the last section we give two simple examples of such invariants, which involve non-classical terms and provide new insights into the classification of $G$-invariant star products.

2020

Master's thesis in Religion, philosophy and society (REL500) In this thesis I will take a closer look at Julian Savulescu’s opinions that parents have a moral obligation to heal and enhance their children’s genes because, according to him, it will give them the chance of a better life than letting nature decide with its unpredictable outcome. I will look into different theories of well-being and discuss if enhancements will in fact give someone a better life than what’s natural before I will argue in favor of using passive genetic interventions to heal the most severe illnesses instead of enhancing. I will also claim that parents do have a moral obligation to treat these severe illnesses if…

The Ethical Egoist Case for Dietary Veganism, Or The Individual Animal and His Will to Live

2017

Master's thesis religion - University of Agder 2017 In this thesis in applied ethics, «The ethical egoist case for dietary veganism, or the individual animal and his will to live», I argue that taking non-human animals into consideration can be argued for from an approach of ethical egoism. I argue that from the standpoint of egoism, in most cases you would be well advised to adopt a vegan diet, that means, practically speaking, a diet rid of animal products. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. The first presents other approaches to animal ethics and the issue of dietary vegetarianism or veganism. I briefly present the standpoints of Peter Singer, Tom Regan and Mark Rowlands. The…

Det såkalte selvbedraget : En fenomenologisk og analytisk kritikk av forestillingen om å bli bedratt av seg selv

2019

Masteroppgave religion REL500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Understanding self-deception, the way this term is still applied, has prompted both philosophers, psychologists and others in finding solutions to the dilemma by suggesting theories as to the construction of and motivation behind the phenomenon. Some of these theories compromise the core issue - that p and ~p cannot be true at the same time. Other theories work around the dilemma by offering rather dubious assumptions like boundaries between parts of the mind.My suggestion is a rather clear-cut definition by which self-deception is congruent with Moor's paradox. The self-deception then disappears because the contradiction is cast as…

The general will. What is Rousseau’s “the general will”? A hermeneutical inquiry of the metaphysics, moral psychology, and political philosophy of th…

2021

Master´s thesis in Religion, Philosophy and Society A central notion to Rousseau’s The Social Contract is “the general will”. This thesis is a hermeneutical inquiry into that notion. The thesis first sets the hermeneutical horizons of quasi-realismas the metaphysical framework and non-cognitivism as a motivation theory. The inquiry then begins by Rousseau’s thought experiment on the state of nature, starting with metaphysics, which is “the coming into being” of the general will. Then it transitions into moral psychology in the horizon of non-cognitivism. This is a transition from the philosophy of principles toempirical philosophy. Finally, the findings are critiqued, defended, and applied …
