Assumptions of randomness in cosmology models
Information and ComputationNon-compact symmetries cannot be fully broken by randomness since non-compact groups have no invariant probability distributions. In particular, this makes trickier the "Copernican" random choice of the place of the observer in infinite cosmology models. This problem may be circumvented with what topologists call pointed spaces.

Marxism and Decolonizing Praxis: From Decolonial Misinterpretations to Marxist Contributions
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article intervenes in postcolonial and decolonial critiques that portray Karl Marx and Marxism as intrinsically Eurocentric and inattentive to race, colonialism and non‐European revolutionary agency. It argues that such critiques often rely on selective, historically limited interpretations that overlook Marx's later writings, in which he

Singularity-free cosmological models
, 1996 Singularity-free cosmological models are a recent advance in the field of exact solutions. Previously thought not to exist, these models are globally hyperbolic and obey the strong energy condition everywhere.

Antinomies of Nativism: Understanding Decoloniality Theory's Affinities with the Global Far Right
Development and Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines the peculiar conjuncture of decolonial theory and contemporary far‐right ideology. It argues that their shared fixation on the dualism of native and settler is immanent to the development of advanced capitalism, particularly the sharpening of its contradictory tendency to undermine labour as the source of value, and to ...

Aspects of plane waves and Taub-NUT as exact string theory solutions [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis is a study of some aspects of string theory solutions that are exact in the inverse string tension ɑ', and thus are valid beyond the low-energy limit.

The cosmological impact of Brane-Chern-Simons massive gravity
Journal of High Energy PhysicsIn this paper, we present a novel extension of massive gravity theory; the Brane-Chern-Simons massive gravity theory. We explore the cosmological implications of this theory by deriving the background equations and demonstrating the existence of self ...

Nonhuman Pedagogical Relations: Towards Conceptual Limits
Educational Theory, EarlyView.Abstract This article considers the pedagogical relation as a relation to a nonhuman educator, wherein the educatee is a member of the Homo sapiens species. My aim is to clarify the extent to which a nonhuman‐human relation can be understood as pedagogical.

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The clustering of galaxies in hierarchical galaxy formation models [PDF]
, 2010 Galaxy clustering encodes information about the values of cosmological parameters and also about the physical processes behind galaxy formation and evolution. The GALFORM semi-analytical model is the theoretical approach we used to model galaxy formation.

Early universe in quantum gravity
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe present a new picture of the early universe in finite nonlocal quantum gravity, which is Weyl invariant at the classical and quantum levels. The high-energy regime of the theory consists of two phases, a Weyl invariant trans-Planckian phase and a post-
