Cosmological Finsler Spacetimes
Universe, 2020 Applying the cosmological principle to Finsler spacetimes, we identify the Lie Algebra of symmetry generators of spatially homogeneous and isotropic Finsler geometries, thus generalising Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker geometry.

Saturation of the Holographic Principle for Spatially Closed Cosmological Models
, 2008 Under the assumption on the fundamental character of the Holographic Principle as a primary principle guiding the behavior of our universe the saturation of the holographic limit is reasonable.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Food and alcohol indulgence, along with tea‐drinking, gambling, and gossip, are integral to a characteristically Sichuanese ethos of ‘life enjoyment’ (xiangshou shenghuo). Beyond mere pleasure, sensory, ludic, and comic experiences temporarily strip participants of both their formal and subjective qualities.

Constraining the minimally extended varying speed of light model using time dilations
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe Robertson–Walker (RW) metric, derived from the cosmological principle and Weyl’s postulate, characterizes the ΛCDM cosmological model. Traditionally, in this framework, the assumption of a constant speed of light leads to specific cosmological time ...

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History
Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...

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

International 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 ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Non-parametric reconstructions of cosmic curvature: current constraints and forecasts
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsThe assumption of a flat Universe that follows the cosmological principle, i.e., that the universe is statistically homogeneous and isotropic at large scales, comprises one of the core foundations of the standard cosmological model – namely, the ...
