Population, existence and incommensurability
Philosophical Studies, 2023 In this paper, I consider what highly plausible principles we can consistently combine with certain deeply held, widely shared intuitions we have regarding matters of existence.

In some circumstances it may happen that the two lower-dimensional data sets have an inordinately large Procrustean fitting ...

Incommensurability as Vagueness: a Burden‐Shifting Argument [PDF]

Incommensurability-induced sub-ballistic narrow-band-states in twisted bilayer graphene [PDF]
, 2020 We study the localization properties of electrons in incommensurate twisted bilayer graphene for small angles, encompassing the narrow-band regime, by numerically exact means.
