Relating the thermodynamic arrow of time to the causal arrow [PDF]
Consider a Hamiltonian system that consists of a slow subsystem S and a fast subsystem F. The autonomous dynamics of S is driven by an effective Hamiltonian, but its thermodynamics is unexpected.

The direction of time: from the global arrow to the local arrow [PDF]
In this paper we discuss the traditional approaches to the problem of the arrow of time. On the basis of this discussion we adopt a global and non-entropic approach, according to which the arrow of time has a global origin and is an intrinsic, geometrical feature of space-time.

In this contribution we present arbitrary arrow update model logic (AAUML). This is a dynamic epistemic logic or update logic. In update logics, static/basic modalities are interpreted on a given relational model whereas dynamic/update modalities induce transformations (updates) of relational models.

We introduce an additional structure on ribbon graphs, arrow structure. We extend the Bollob\'as-Riordan polynomial to ribbon graph with this structure. The extended polynomial satisfies the contraction-deletion relations and naturally behaves with respect to the partial duality of ribbon graphs.

Arrow Contraction and Expansion in Tropical Diagrams [PDF]
Arrow contraction applied to a tropical diagram of probability spaces is a modification of the diagram, replacing one of the morphisms by an isomorphims, while preserving other parts of the diagram. It is related to the rate regions introduced by Ahlswede and K\"orner.

A model of the universe which resolves the apparent contradiction between the historical and the thermodynamic arrows of time is presented. Both arrows are reconciled with the almost time-symmetric character of physical laws at the microscopic level. The theory implies that the universe is unfolding in time but not unraveling. (BJG)

This paper makes an account of the design and investigations done for the still image watermarking technique used in the 2nd edition of the BOWS challenge. This technique is named "broken arrows" for some reasons given later on, and abbreviated "BA." This zero-bit algorithm is an implementation of a recent theoretical result by Merhav and Sabbag (2008)

A 33-year-old male was brought to the emergency department after a penetrating arrow injury to the chest. Initial evaluation revealed the arrow was penetrating the sternum, lung, and aortic arch. Because the patient was in a remote area, timely transfer to a specialized center for definitive operative repair was delayed approximately 24 hours ...

Compositional Game Theory, Compositionally [PDF]
We present a new compositional approach to compositional game theory (CGT) based upon Arrows, a concept originally from functional programming, closely related to Tambara modules, and operators to build new Arrows from old. We model equilibria as a bimodule over an Arrow and define an operator to build a new Arrow from such a bimodule over an existing ...
