SPECTRAL GEOMETRY OF SPACETIME
2000
Spacetime, understood as a globally hyperbolic manifold, may be characterized by spectral data using a 3+1 splitting into space and time, a description of space by spectral triples and by employing causal relationships, as proposed earlier. Here, it is proposed to use the Hadamard condition of quantum field theory as a smoothness principle.
The Bua Group noun class system: Looking for a historical interpretation
2020
International audience; The way Bua languages express number on nouns mostly consists ofalternating suffi xes that bear witness of a former classifi cation system. However,Kulaal is the only present-day language where these markers are not frozen butactually trigger agreement with free, optional determiners that follow the noun andmay show some formal affi nity with its suffi x. For several reasons, previous attemptsat reconstructing a historical noun morphology common to all Bua languagesconsidered the sole suffi xes and neglected the determiners present in Kulaal. But,as is argued in the present paper, more recent data show that, in some cases, presentdaysuffi xes may result from the asso…
A metabolism of Adam and Eve: Damien Hirst meets Edvard Munch
2016
Sari Kuuva, University of Jyvaskyla Sari Kuuva, PhD (in cognitive science, 2007 and art history, 2010) is a post-doctoral researcher who works at the Department of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Jyvaskyla. She has studied the relationship between art, aesthetics and psychology, particularly the concept of the symbol and the problematics of experiencing and creating visual art. Among Kuuva’s main publications relating to the art of Edvard Munch are: Symbol, Munch and Creativity: Metabolism of Visual Symbols (University of Jyvaskyla 2010); ‘Emotional creativity in art: case scream’ in Mind and Matter: Selected Papers of Nordic 2009 Conference for Art Historians (Helsinki, Socie…
The term “political oeconomy” in Adam Smith
2020
This article analyses the use of the term “‘political oeconomy” in the Wealth of Nations, considered by many the founding text of the discipline of Political Economy. It shows that Adam Smith could not accept the use of the term “political oeconomy” that had been made by other authors to indicate the subject matter of his scientific inquiry, devoted to the nature and causes of the wealth of nations; he used the term “political oeconomy” as a synonym for economic policy, especially in the fourth book of the Wealth of Nations. In order to understand this statement, it is necessary to keep in mind the methodological and epistemological perspective developed by Smith; in his view, the inquiry i…

The Regularized Hadamard Expansion
2017
A local expansion is proposed for two-point distributions involving an ultraviolet regularization in a four-dimensional globally hyperbolic space-time. The regularization is described by an infinite number of functions which can be computed iteratively by solving transport equations along null geodesics. We show that the Cauchy evolution preserves the regularized Hadamard structure. The resulting regularized Hadamard expansion gives detailed and explicit information on the global dynamics of the regularization effects.
Adamantan als Baustein neuer Araliphane Synthese, Spektroskopie und Kristallstrukturen
1991
Adamantane as a Building Block of New Araliphanes – Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Crystal Structures Exchange of benzene units for aliphatic building blocks in cyclophanes leads to new molecules of the “araliphane” type. With adamantane the araliphanes 2 – 4 are synthesized. Their stereochemical behavior as shown by NMR studies and X-ray crystallographic analyses differs significantly from that of their aromatic counterparts. The signals of the intraannular adamantane hydrogens are strongly shifted upfield up to δ=– 2.18 (in 2). 4 is obtained as a racemic mixture of enantiomers (in the crystalline state) and shows a boat-like deformation of the benzene moiety.
