Borealis: An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics, 2023 It has been claimed in the literature that referential null subjects receive definite readings in consistent null-subject languages, like Spanish.

Normalized Null hypersurfaces of Indefinite K\"{a}hler Manifolds
International Electronic Journal of Geometry, 2023 We study null hypersurfaces of indefinite K\"{a}hler manifolds and by taking the advantages of the almost complex structure $J$, we select a suitable rigging $\zeta$, which we call the $J-$rigging, on the null hypersurface.

Radar orthogonality and radar length in Finsler and metric spacetime geometry [PDF]
, 2014 The radar experiment connects the geometry of spacetime with an observers measurement of spatial length. We investigate the radar experiment on Finsler spacetimes which leads to a general definition of radar orthogonality and radar length. The directions

Quantifiers and Variables: Insights from Sign Language (ASL and LSF)

Superalgebras, constraints and partition functions [PDF]
, 2015 We consider Borcherds superalgebras obtained from semisimple finite-dimensional Lie algebras by adding an odd null root to the simple roots. The additional Serre relations can be expressed in a covariant way. The spectrum of generators at positive levels
