Five Principles for a New Economic Consensus
ABSTRACT This paper puts forward five principles for a new economic consensus, which could serve as a modern alternative to the Washington Consensus of 35 years ago. They are built on new ideas that have gained currency in economics over the past three decades. We also provide examples of the policies that could follow from these principles.

ABSTRACT It has been suggested that informing language learners about the original, literal meaning of idioms helps them to remember these expressions, but the empirical evidence is limited. A new study was conducted with three groups of learners of English (53 Chinese students at a university in Canada, 56 students at a university in China, and 77 ...

The translator (and the) lexicographer
Translation makes the interaction between two linguistic worlds, the source language and the target language. The use of dictionaries is indispensable for translating dead languages, such as latin and ancien greek. On the other hand, this interaction often benefits the target language, which incorporates new words. This approach focuses translations of

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Anselm's Temporal‐Ontological Proof
ABSTRACT In his Reply to Gaunilo, Anselm presented two additional arguments for the existence of God beyond those that appear in the Proslogion. In “The Logical Structure of Anselm's Argument,” Robert M. Adams isolates each. One, he develops into a modal ontological argument along the lines of other 20th century ontological arguments (e.g., those of ...

Cartwright–Sturmfels Hilbert schemes
Abstract Let S$S$ be the Cox ring of a product of r$r$ projective spaces. In this paper, we study the Cartwright–Sturmfels Hilbert schemes of S$S$, which are multigraded Hilbert schemes that parameterize only radical ideals. Our main result shows that these Hilbert schemes are always smooth and irreducible if the Picard rank r$r$ is at most 2.

Interpolation categories for conformal embeddings
Abstract In this paper, we give a diagrammatic description of the categories of modules coming from the conformal embeddings V(slN,N)⊂V(soN2−1,1)$\mathcal{V}({\mathfrak{sl}}_{N},N)\subset \mathcal{V}({\mathfrak{so}}_{{N}^{2}-1},1)$. A small variant of this construction (morally corresponding to a conformal embedding of glN${\mathfrak{gl}}_{N}$ level N ...
