A Prehistory of n-Categorical Physics [PDF]
Deep beauty, 13-128, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 2011, 2009 This paper traces the growing role of categories and n-categories in physics, starting with groups and their role in relativity, and leading up to more sophisticated concepts which manifest themselves in Feynman diagrams, spin networks, string theory, loop quantum gravity, and topological quantum field theory. Our chronology ends around 2000, with just

Examining Gravettian and Magdalenian mobility and technological organization with IR spectroscopy [PDF]
Scientific ReportsArchaeologists can use the provenance of lithic raw materials to examine the movements, territories, and settlement dynamics of hunter-gatherers. Several studies have used macroscopic analyses to propose the long-distance transport of raw material during

BRS "Symmetry", prehistory and history [PDF]
, 2011 Prehistory - Starting from 't Hooft's (1971) we have a short look at Taylor's and Slavnov's works (1971-72) and at the lectures given by Rouet and Stora in Lausanne-1973 which determine the transition from pre-history to history. History - We give a brief account of the main analyses and results of the BRS collaboration concerning the renormalized ...

Prehistory of Transit Searches [PDF]
, 2018 Nowadays the more powerful method to detect extrasolar planets is the transit method. We review the planet transits which were anticipated, searched, and the first ones which were observed all through history. Indeed transits of planets in front of their

arXiv, 2018 John C.Baez reinterpreted 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (abbreviated as 2-TQFT and 3-TQFT) in "A prehistory of n-categorical physics"[JC11]. Inspired by his idea, this paper utilizes cochains to prove some properties of 2-TQFT and 3-TQFT.

Albert Einstein's 1916 Review Article on General Relativity [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 The first comprehensive overview of the final version of the general theory of relativity was published by Einstein in 1916 after several expositions of preliminary versions and latest revisions of the theory in November 1915. A historical account of this review paper is given, of its prehistory, including a discussion of Einstein's collaboration with ...

New data on the formation of local variations in the Upper Paleolithic of the Caucasus [PDF]
Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2023 As of today, very few Upper Paleolithic sites are known on both the southern and the northern slopes of the Caucasus. Their materials allow tracing settlement dynamics in the region from 40/39 to 20 cal ka BP.
