Evolutionarily Optimal Risk Aversion. [PDF]
Risk AnalABSTRACT In an experimental choice situation, we identify risk‐acceptability thresholds and show how such thresholds are updated in response to benchmark information, a recurrent feature of health, safety, and environmental (HS&E) risk governance. We present a theoretical framework linking the observed behavior to an underlying evolutionary parameter ...

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract The present paper presents a new (formal) theory of presence according to which, roughly, to be present at a place is to have a delegate located at that place. One crucial feature of the theory is that something can be present at a place without thereby being located there.

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour
Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition
Transactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

Free semigroups of large critical exponent
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract For a convergence group equipped with an expanding coarse‐cocycle, we construct finitely generated free subsemigroups, which we call Bishop−−Jonessemigroups$\textit{Bishop--Jones semigroups}$, of critical exponent arbitrarily close to but strictly less than the critical exponent of the ambient group.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 8, Page 1973-2102, August 2026.ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Weak, Strong and Mixed Extensions of Relations to Spaces of Ultrafilters
Mathematical Logic Quarterly, Volume 72, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT The use of nonstandard methods to characterize properties of weak, strong and mixed extensions of congruences to ultrafilters has been the main topic of several recent papers, focused mostly on congruences and divisions. We show that similar methods can be used to extend these characterizations to arbitrary relations and their interplay.

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 300-315, July 2026.ABSTRACT According to most readers of the Tractatus, Wittgenstein's logic is empty or contentless, since it consists of tautologies that do not picture reality. This view, however, does not explain how and why Wittgenstein's ‘logic of depiction’ is transcendental (T, 4.015 and 6.13), especially given that Kant introduced transcendental logic through ...
