Cosmological Models in Lyra Geometry with Linearly Varying Deceleration Parameter

open access: yes, 2018
Cosmological models with linearly varying deceleration parameter in the cosmological theory based on Lyra’s geometry have been discussed.

Toward an Indigenous Curatorial Practice: Learning From Tłı̨chǫ Metaphors of Care to Establish Principles of Curation

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The displacement of items of cultural heritage from Indigenous communities is continually perpetuated through their appropriation into collection systems that are inappropriate to Indigenous laws and customs. This paper presents the efforts of the Tłı̨chǫ Government (TG) to address such issues by creating a system that is rooted within its ...

Squeezing, chaos and thermalization in periodically driven quantum systems: the case of bosonic preheating

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
The phenomena of Squeezing and chaos have recently been studied in the context of inflation. We apply this formalism in the post-inflationary preheating phase.

Reconstruction of scalar potentials in two-field cosmological models

open access: yes, 2008
We study the procedure of the reconstruction of phantom-scalar field potentials in two-field cosmological models. It is shown that while in the one-field case the chosen cosmological evolution defines uniquely the form of the scalar potential, in the two-

Toward a Politics of Planetary Care: The Limits of More‐Than‐Human Approaches, Silenced Notes From Indigenous Forest Worlds in India

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the planetary climate crisis, influential scholarship has directed us to decenter the human, recognize nonhuman agency, and imagine more‐than‐human futures. But what might this leave out? Drawing on Indigenous forest worlds in India and the incarcerated intellectual‐activists who struggled alongside them, this article develops a

Gauge versus (hidden) physical symmetries of FLRW cosmologies

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
In generally covariant theories, evolution in coordinate time is a gauge transformation, so that a symmetry made manifest in a gauge-fixed description need not be a symmetry of the physical dynamics.

When Humans Need Gods and Gods Need Humans: Prophetic Authority and Ritual Negotiation in Himachal Pradesh

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Himachal Pradesh, India, village deities act as political figures who play an active role in communal affairs, especially during periods of social change. Bakhan, an annual divination ritual in which these deities speak through human mediums, is a public event that offers forecasts and instructions. I argue that the bakhan is a social arena

A Cosmological Model

open access: yes, 2019
A cosmological model is proposed. In the model, vacuum energy is converted into positive mass and the mass grows exponentially with more vacuum energy conversion up to $1.758144 \times 10^{53}~ [kg]$ when it stops after $9.76317 \times 10^{-14}~[s]$. During this period of mass increase the quanta form a condensate Bose-Einstein.

Monsters of finance

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.
