Gender, Feeling and the Making of Korean Christian Knowledge in Sengoku Japan*

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 141-156, June 2025.
This essay explores the production of Korean Christian knowledge in Sengoku Japan by analysing narratives about a vision said to have been experienced by an evangelised Korean woman, which circulated within Jesuit correspondence from Japan and in subsequent publications.

Beyond Inflation: A Cyclic Universe Scenario

open access: yes, 2004
Inflation has been the leading early universe scenario for two decades, and has become an accepted element of the successful `cosmic concordance' model. However, there are many puzzling features of the resulting theory.

The Sociology of Exclusion: A Knowledge Synthesis of Imperialism, Colonialism, and Postcolonialism in Accounting Research*

open access: yesAccounting Perspectives, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 469-515, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The ways in which accountancy (accounting, accountability, and accountants) has been a device of imperialism, colonialism, and postcolonialism, and therefore has had deleterious effects on Indigenous peoples in former colonies and continues to negatively impact immigrants in postcolonial OECD countries, is under‐researched.

Initial conditions for hybrid inflation

open access: yes, 2000
In hybrid inflation models, typically only a tiny fraction of possible initial conditions give rise to successful inflation, even if one assumes spatial homogeneity.

Quantum Cosmology of Quadratic f(R) Theories with a FRW Metric

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematical Physics, 2017
We study the quantum cosmology of a quadratic fR theory with a FRW metric, via one of its equivalent Horndeski type actions, where the dynamic of the scalar field is induced.

Model building with non-compact cosets

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2016
We explore Goldstone boson potentials in non-compact cosets of the form SO(n,1)/SO(n). We employ a geometric approach to find the scalar potential, and focus on the conditions under which it is compact in the large field limit.

Mirage cosmology with an unstable probe D3-brane

open access: yes, 2005
We consider the mirage cosmology by an unstable probe brane whose action is represented by BDI action with tachyon. We study how the presence of tachyon affects the evolution of the brane inflation.

Cosmic Inflation, Quantum Information and the Pioneering Role of John S Bell in Cosmology

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
According to the theory of cosmic inflation, the large scale structures observed in our Universe (galaxies, clusters of galaxies, Cosmic Background Microwave—CMB—anisotropy…) are of quantum mechanical origin. They are nothing but vacuum

Understanding Our Universe: Current Status and Open Issues

open access: yes, 2005
Last couple of decades have been the golden age for cosmology. High quality data confirmed the broad paradigm of standard cosmology but have thrusted upon us a preposterous composition for the universe which defies any simple explanation, thereby posing ...
