On the spin content of the classical massless Rarita-Schwinger system
We analyze the Rarita-Schwinger massless theory in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. At the Lagrangian level, the standard gamma-trace gauge fixing constraint leaves a 1/2 and a 3/2 propagating Poincaré group helicities. At the Hamiltonian level,

About the geographic grid of the three-dimensional hypersphere [PDF]
According to the Poincaré conjecture (1904) proved by Grigory Perelman (2002-2003) that any simply connected compact three- dimensional manifold without edges is homeomorphic to a three- dimensional hypersphere [1], to solve the problems of visualizing ...

Is the horizon of an eternal black hole really smooth?
We point out that in many eternal black holes, including a Schwarzschild eternal black hole and an eternal black hole in AdS 5, instant folded strings are created in the past wedge and render the region just outside the horizon singular.

Abstract Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with autonomic dysfunction as indicated by deficits in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. These abnormalities are expressed as elevated heart rate and reduced heart rate variability (HRV), respectively.

On the Proper Treatment of Dynamics in Cognitive Science
Abstract This essay examines the relevance of dynamical ideas for cognitive science. On its own, the mere mathematical idea of a dynamical system is too weak to serve as a scientific theory of anything, and dynamical approaches within cognitive science are too rich and varied to be subsumed under a single “dynamical hypothesis.” Instead, after first ...

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

The Global Attractor of the Allen-Cahn Equation on the Sphere
In this paper we study the attractor of a parabolic semiflow generated by a singularly perturbed PDE with a non-linear term given by a bistable potential, in an oval surface; the Allen-Cahn equation being a prototypical example.

With one exception, all known non-supersymmetric AdS4 and AdS5 vacua of gauged maximal supergravities that descend from string and M theory have been shown to have modes with mass below the BF bound.

Moduli space holography and the finiteness of flux vacua
A holographic perspective to study and characterize field spaces that arise in string compactifications is suggested. A concrete correspondence is developed by studying two-dimensional moduli spaces in supersymmetric string compactifications.

Geometry of massless scattering in integrable superstring
We consider the action of the q-deformed Poincaré superalgebra on the massless non-relativistic R-matrix in ordinary (undeformed) integrable AdS 2 × S 2 × T 6 type IIB superstring theory. The boost generator acts non-trivially on the R-matrix, confirming
