End-of-the-world branes and inflationary predictions for rocky and swampy landscapes
Journal of High Energy PhysicsMaking cosmological predictions in a multiverse is a fundamental theoretical challenge. Assuming that (quasi-)de Sitter vacua are quantum mechanically described by a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, we develop a detailed framework for making explicit ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Recognizing conservation contributions from areas outside protected areas (PAs), including other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs), is increasingly central to meeting global biodiversity targets. However, little is known about which areas could qualify as OECMs and whether they support forest conservation.

Making predictions in an eternally inflating universe [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1995 Eternally inflating universes can contain large thermalized regions with different values of the constants of Nature and with different density fluctuation spectra. To find the probability for a `typical' observer to detect a certain set of constants, or a certain fluctuation spectrum, one needs to compare the volumes occupied by different types of ...

Counting pockets with world lines in eternal inflation
, 2006 We consider the long standing puzzle of how to obtain meaningful probabilities in eternal inflation. We demonstrate a new algorithm for computing the probability distribution of pocket universe types, given a multivacua inflationary potential.

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.

Economic Affairs, EarlyView.Abstract The American Revolution affirmed that sovereignty inheres by nature in each Citizen, and collectively in the People. The Constitution completed a structure in which authority flowed from Citizens to their several State republics, and from the States to a Union holding only delegated powers. 1913 inverted that order.

The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes
