May I pick your brain? Local minds as living cadastres in a Portuguese eleventh‐century lawsuit
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 231-253, May 2026.In the context of a dispute with the monastery of Lorvão, in the late eleventh century, the monks of Vacariça, near Coimbra (modern Portugal), carried out a field enquiry in the village of Recardães. This was part of a failed attempt to repossess a number of land plots that they claimed were theirs, but had lost control of.

Inflationary cosmology in modified gravity theories
, 2015 We review inflationary cosmology in modified gravity such as $R^2$ gravity with its extensions in order to generalize the Starobinsky inflation model. In particular, we explore inflation realized by three kinds of effects: modification of gravity, the ...

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 3, Page 608-616, May 2026.ABSTRACT Bayesian epistemology faces serious challenges when dealing with self‐locating evidence. This paper argues that, given two modest assumptions about how confirmation should work (Patterning and Live Centers), Bayesianism faces an unavoidable dilemma.

Classical and quantum cosmology of Fab Four John theories
Physics Letters B, 2019 We study the John term of Fab Four cosmology in the presence of a scalar potential. We show here how this theory can describe a wide range of cosmological solutions.

Quantum Cosmology Lectures [PDF]
, 1995 Quantum cosmology is the quantum theory of the entire universe. Although strange at first sight, it is appropriate because (1) our world appears to be fundamentally quantum, (2) the classical description of gravity breaks down at singularities it would ...

Bogoliubov's Integrals of Motion in Quantum Cosmology and Gravity
, 2006 Quantum Cosmology and Gravity are formulated here as the primary and secondary quantizations of the energy constraints by analogy with the historical formulation of quantum field theory.

, 2012 I review two cosmological paradigms which are alternative to the current inflationary scenario. The first alternative is the "matter bounce", a non-singular bouncing cosmology with a matter-dominated phase of contraction.

A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS THROUGH CORPUS LINGUISTICS ON THE CASE OF POPULAR SCIENCE BOOK THE GRAND DESIGN
Kajian Linguistik dan Sastra, 2016 This study aims to discover the theme of popular physics book, The Grand Design, through corpus linguistics and discourse analysis as well as how the authors of the book describe the field of study which in fact is not their main focus to work on.

Path Integrals and the WKB approximation in Loop Quantum Cosmology
, 2010 We follow the Feynman procedure to obtain a path integral formulation of loop quantum cosmology starting from the Hilbert space framework. Quantum geometry effects modify the weight associated with each path so that the effective measure on the space of ...

On the Hamiltonian Constraint of Loop Quantum Cosmology
, 2005 In this paper we construct the Hamiltonian constraint operator of loop quantum cosmology using holonomies defined for arbitrary irreducible SU(2) representations labeled by spin J.
