Maxwell’s equations in the Myers-Perry geometry
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We demonstrate separability of the Maxwell’s equations in the Myers-Perry-(A)dS geometry and derive explicit solutions for various polarizations. Application of our construction to the four-dimensional Kerr black hole leads to a new ansatz for the ...

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

Topological defects in low-energy string gravity [PDF]
, 1999 Cosmologists are interested in topological defects as a possible source for the primordial density perturbations which seeded structure formation through gravitational instability.

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the diverse assumptions and priorities that managers and technology developers assign to workplace technologies in UK warehousing. Rooted in labour process theory (LPT), and its concern for worker agency and management control, it addresses a need for finer‐grained theorisations of management and developer agency in ...

Black hole entropy and quantum information [PDF]
, 2008 We review some recently established connections between the mathematics of black hole entropy in string theory and that of multipartite entanglement in quantum information theory.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lianas are abundant and influential in tropical forests but decline sharply in cooler regions. This pattern has been attributed to their reliance on a small number of large vessels, which are vulnerable to freeze–thaw embolism. However, the hydraulic functioning of lianas in cooler regions remains poorly understood.

Weak gravity conjecture, black hole entropy, and modular invariance
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 In recent literature, it has been argued that a mild form of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) is satisfied by wide classes of effective field theories in which higher-derivative corrections can be shown to shift the charge-to-mass ratios of extremal ...

Nurse structures effectively improve the performance of restoration plantings: a systematic review
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Tree planting for ecosystem restoration often occurs on disturbed, degraded, or former agricultural sites, where seedlings face harsh conditions like sun exposure, drought, wind, frost, and browsing, which can lead to poor performance.
