A Priori or a Posteriori? [PDF]
, 2020 What is the significance of the distinction between the a priori and the a posteriori in metametaphysics? The primary relevance of the distinction concerns the source of metaphysical knowledge and our epistemic access to that source. For instance, how can we gain knowledge about things like numbers and sets, which are abstract objects?

A priori Knowledge and the Kochen-Specker Theorem [PDF]
, 2006 We introduce and formalize a notion of "a priori knowledge" about a quantum system, and show some properties about this form of knowledge. Finally, we show that the Kochen-Specker theorem follows directly from this study. This version is a draft version,

The importance of ideas: an a priori critical juncture framework [PDF]
, 2007 This paper sets out an improved framework for examining critical junctures. This framework, while rigorous and broadly applicable and an advance on the frameworks currently employed, primarily seeks to incorporate an a priori element.

A priori estimates for Donaldson's equation over compact Hermitian manifolds [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we prove a priori estimates for Donaldson's equation $\omega\wedge(\chi+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi)^{n-1}=e^{F}(\chi+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar{\partial}\varphi)^{n}$ over a compact Hermitian manifold X of complex dimension n, where $

Quantum homodyne tomography with a priori constraints
, 1999 I present a novel algorithm for reconstructing the Wigner function from homodyne statistics. The proposed method, based on maximum-likelihood estimation, is capable of compensating for detection losses in a numerically stable way.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX,

A priori estimates for the complex Hessian equations
, 2011 We prove some $L^{\infty}$ a priori estimates as well as existence and stability theorems for the weak solutions of the complex Hessian equations in domains of $C^n$ and on compact K\"ahler manifolds.

Numbers, Empiricism and the A Priori [PDF]
, 2020 The present paper deals with the ontological status of numbers and considers Frege ́s proposal in Grundlagen upon the background of the Post-Kantian semantic turn in analytical philosophy. Through a more systematic study of his philosophical premises, it

A Priori Bounds And Existence Of Positive Solutions For Semilinear Elliptic Systems [PDF]
, 2017 We provide a-priori L∞ bounds for classical positive solutions of semilinear elliptic systems in bounded convex domains when the nonlinearities are below the power functions v^p and u^q for any (p,q) lying on the critical Sobolev hyperbola.
