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

Journal 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

Emergent time and more from wavefunction collapse in general relativity

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this paper, we further develop a recently proposed theory of time based on wavefunction collapse in general relativity. It is based on the postulations that quantum states, which violate the momentum and Hamiltonian constraints, represent instances of

Cosmology with One Galaxy: Autoencoding the Galaxy Properties Manifold

The Astrophysical Journal
Cosmological simulations like CAMELS and IllustrisTNG characterize hundreds of thousands of galaxies using various internal properties. Previous studies have demonstrated that machine learning can be used to infer the cosmological parameter Ω _m from the

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

Journal 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 ...

Inferring the cosmological constant in early Universe only by gravitational waves

Journal of High Energy Physics
Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescence (CBC) can directly determine the luminosity distance but usually can not obtain information about the redshift. This assumes that the GW source is at the flat background.

Why do Public Debates Escalate? Trigger Points and the Moral Dynamics of “Hot Politics”

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Escalating, emotionally charged, and moralized forms of controversy are a central feature of contemporary politics. Our study develops a framework for understanding how political debates between ordinary citizens become heated; why certain issues provoke particularly strong emotions; and how this affective potential is weaponized by ...

Cluster algebras for cosmological correlators

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this paper,we explore the cluster algebras for symbol letters or singularities of cosmological correlators in a conformally coupled scalar field theory. We show that the symbol letters for tree-level n-site ladder cosmological correlators are governed

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.
