Dark Matter Substructure and Dwarf Galactic Satellites

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, 2010
A decade ago cosmological simulations of increasingly higher resolution were used to demonstrate that virialized regions of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos are filled with a multitude of dense,

Conceptualizing moral migration: how disillusionment and the transnational right motivate migration to Russia Conceptualiser la migration morale : comment les désillusions et la droite transnationale motivent l’émigration vers la Russie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Russia is consistently a top migration destination. While most migrate to Russia from other post‐Soviet countries, a small but highly visible group of the Russian‐speaking diaspora has returned from Europe and North America. Lauded in Russian media as ‘ideological migrants’, their narratives at first glance echo those of the state as they claim to flee

COSMOLOGICAL PERTURBATIONS AND THE RUNNING COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT MODEL [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2012
We study the matter density fluctuations in the running cosmological constant (RCC) model using linear perturbations in the longitudinal gauge. Using this observable, we calculate the growth rate of structures and the matter power spectrum, and compare these results to SDSS data and the available data for linear growth rate.

Dynamical tidal response of Schwarzschild Black Holes

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
Dynamical Love numbers capture the conservative response of an object to a time-dependent external tidal gravitational field. We compute the dynamical Love numbers of Schwarzschild black holes in general relativity within a point-particle effective field

Motion deviation of test body induced by spin and cosmological constant in extreme mass ratio inspiral binary system

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
The future space-borne detectors will provide the possibility to detect gravitational waves emitted from extreme mass ratio inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into supermassive black holes.

From talking tools to metahumans: social interaction, semiotic skill, and the authority of AI chatbots Des outils parlants aux métahumains : interactions sociales, compétences sémiotiques et autorité des robots conversationnels

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What does it take to turn a tool into a talking tool and that into an ultimate authority? Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in its diverse forms, such as large language models (LLMs), is celebrated as a useful tool. But LLM‐based conversational agents, or chatbots, the software applications through which ordinary users are likely to engage ...

GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS IN LAGOS: Virtual Reality between Urban Marketing and Media Activism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the role of virtual reality (VR) technologies in mediating and contesting dominant visions of urban futures in West Africa. Drawing on theoretical insights from a hybridization of the work of the German‐born Jewish critic Walter Benjamin and the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, I introduce the concept of phantasmagoria as a ...

COSMOLOGICAL MARKINGS AND ERASURES: The Political Theology of State‐Led Gentrification and Heritagization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article investigates the symbolic politics of state‐led gentrification and heritagization, focusing on how these processes serve to ‘glorify’ state power. Drawing on Agamben's political theology, Bourdieu's notion of symbolic power and space, and political heritage studies, we argue that the symbolic politics of state glorification can ...
