A Smithian Political Economy Approach for the Competition Law of the 21st Century

The Modern Law Review, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 712-768, July 2025.
This study aims to show how a Smithian political economy approach could assist competition law in addressing the challenges of the 21st‐century economy. We revisit Smith's Wealth of Nations to provide a more nuanced understanding of his views, contrasting them with the prevailing libertarian interpretation called here ‘Chicago Smith’.

Evolution of intrinsic ellipticity correlations due to peculiar motion

, 2012
Topic of this paper is the time-evolution of intrinsic correlations of galaxy ellipticities due to peculiar motion. In our model, the galaxy ellipticities are determined from the angular momentum of their host haloes, which can be computed from the ...

INHERITANCE AND INCEST: TOWARD A LÉVI‐STRAUSSIAN READING OF MONTESQUIEU'S DE L'ESPRIT DES LOIS1

History and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 46-74, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The premise of this article is that Montesquieu, while seen as an Enlightenment thinker who contributed centrally to the development of the social sciences before the period of discipline formation in the nineteenth century, is generally appreciated in only the vaguest of terms.

The theory of stochastic cosmological lensing

, 2015
On the scale of the light beams subtended by small sources, e.g. supernovae, matter cannot be accurately described as a fluid, which questions the applicability of standard cosmic lensing to those cases.

Measuring Omega_0 with higher-order Quasar-Galaxy Correlations induced by Weak Lensing [PDF]

, 2002
Via the magnification bias, gravitational lensing by large-scale structures causes angular cross-correlations between distant quasars and foreground galaxies on angular scales of arc minutes and above.

Recent Developments in Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor Theories

Annalen der Physik, Volume 537, Issue 2, February 2025.
Degenerate Higher Order Scalar Tensor theories are reviewed, together with their applications in cosmology and astrophysics. These theories have been applied to build models of the early universe, in the description of the late‐time cosmic acceleration, as well as in astrophysics, including black hole physics. They have the potential to provide answers

Weak Lensing by Large-Scale Structure: A Dark Matter Halo Approach [PDF]

, 2000
Weak gravitational lensing observations probe the spectrum and evolution of density fluctuations and the cosmological parameters which govern them but are currently limited to small fields and subject to selection biases.

Primordial black holes from axion domain wall collapse

Journal of High Energy Physics
The QCD axion can solve the Strong CP Problem and be the dark matter of our universe. If the PQ symmetry breaking scale associated with the axion is below the inflationary reheating temperature, axion strings and domain walls populate the universe.

The top‐down nature of ontological inquiry: Against pluralism about top‐down and bottom‐up approaches

Metaphilosophy, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 35-51, January 2025.
Abstract Some philosophical pluralists argue that a top‐down and a bottom‐up approach serve as equally justified methods for engaging in ontological inquiry. In the top‐down approach, we start with an analysis of theory and extrapolate from there to the world.

A study of stable wormhole solution with non-commutative geometry in the framework of linear $$f(R,{\mathcal {L}}_m, T)$$ f ( R , L m , T ) gravity

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This research delves into the potential existence of traversable wormholes (WHs) within the framework of modified, curvature based gravity. The modification includes linear perturbations of the matter Lagrangian and the trace of the energy-momentum ...
