A local Wheeler-DeWitt measure for the string landscape
Nuclear Physics B, 2023 According to the ‘Cosmological Central Dogma’, de Sitter space can be viewed as a quantum mechanical system with a finite number of degrees of freedom, set by the horizon area.

A stochastic measure for eternal inflation [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2007 We use the stochastic approach to investigate the measure for slow roll eternal inflation. The probability for the universe of a given Hubble radius can be calculated in this framework. In a solvable model, it is shown that the probability for the universe to evolve from a state with a smaller Hubble radius to that of a larger Hubble radius is ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the strategic efficacy of corporate low‐carbon energy transition, such as through nuclear energy adoption, as a response to decarbonization pressures. Analyzing an international sample of energy firms, we demonstrate that the relationship between this form of transition and emission reductions is not technologically ...

Crunching away the cosmological constant problem: dynamical selection of a small Λ
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We propose a novel explanation for the smallness of the observed cosmological constant (CC). Regions of space with a large CC are short lived and are dynamically driven to crunch soon after the end of inflation.

Climate‐Related Disclosure and Bank Performance: Does Bank Type Matter?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether climate‐related disclosure (CRD) affects the financial performance of conventional banks (CBs) and Islamic banks (IBs) differently. Using a unique hand‐collected dataset on CRD for 591 banks (422 CBs and 169 IBs) from 24 countries over a 4‐year period, we examine how the relationship between CRD and financial ...

A Humanistic Social Justice Critique of AI in Counseling
The Journal of Humanistic Counseling, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Humanistic counselors prioritize social justice, human contact, the therapeutic relationship, and unconditional positive regard for the client that supports the client and the client's identity community. In contrast, counseling using artificial intelligence (AI) is driven by internet information pertaining to the inquiry or command ...

A more attractive scheme for radion stabilization and supercooled phase transition
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We propose a new radion stabilization mechanism in the Randall-Sundrum spacetime, introducing a bulk SU(N H ) gauge field which confines at a TeV scale. It turns out that the radion is stabilized by the balance between a brane tension and a pressure due ...

Manufacturing Nostalgia in the Digital Age: A Foreverism Perspective
Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many scholars argue that we are experiencing the era of “retro”—nostalgia‐driven marketing and consumption phenomena reinforced by digital technologies. However, existing research lacks a critical analysis of nostalgia in contemporary markets and of how digital content, tools, and environments transform retro consumption experiences and alter ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Across garment factories in the Global South, the promise of “ethical fashion” coexists with poverty wages and retaliation. This study examines why the global call for decent work has not improved labor conditions in Bangladesh's ready‐made garment industry.
