Welfare and Felt Duration

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 563-575, September 2026.
ABSTRACT How should we understand the duration of a pleasant or unpleasant sensation, insofar as its duration modulates how good or bad the experience is overall? Given that we seem able to distinguish between subjective and objective duration and that how well or badly someone's life goes is naturally thought of as something to be assessed from her ...

End of the world brane networks for infinite distance limits in CY moduli space

Journal of High Energy Physics
Dynamical Cobordism provides a powerful method to probe infinite distance limits in moduli/field spaces parameterized by scalars constrained by generic potentials, employing configurations of codimension-1 end of the world (ETW) branes.

Aggregation and the Structure of Value

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 619-644, September 2026.
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.

Spacetime and the Philosophical Challenge of Quantum Gravity [PDF]

, 2001
We survey some philosophical aspects of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, emphasising how quantum gravity throws into doubt the treatment of spacetime common to the two `ingredient theories' (quantum theory and general relativity), as a 4 ...

A Flaw in Sider's Vagueness Argument for Perdurantism: Endurantism Endures

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 262-267, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sider's vagueness argument for perdurantism (2001: 126ff.) has long been seen as one of the most powerful, or perhaps the most powerful, in the perdurantist's arsenal. In its absence, the case against endurantism is significantly weakened. Despite its age, there is still no generally agreed view on its worth.

Stringy effects and the role of the singularity in holographic complexity

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
There has been considerable recent interest in holographic complexity. The two leading conjectures on this subject hold that the quantum complexity of the boundary thermofield double state should be dual to either the volume of the Einstein-Rosen bridge ...

Visual Icons

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 327-345, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often characterize perception as image‐like. There is little agreement, however, about what constitutes an imagistic or iconic representation. This article identifies five signature properties of iconic representations endorsed in the philosophical and scientific literature: item‐richness, feature‐richness, spatiotemporal ...

Infinite-Centre Gibbons-Hawking Metrics, Applied to Gravitational Instantons and Monopoles [PDF]

We investigate the convergence of infinite-centre Gibbons-Hawking metrics, in the contexts of four-dimensional gravitational instantons and their applications, Kaluza-Klein monopoles and vortices, gravitational calorons, analytical extensions of Majumdar-

Generic naked singularities in Vaidya spacetimes

Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2022
Abstract We investigate the occurrence of naked singularities, local and global, in the incoming Vaidya spacetimes with zero initial mass. While it is well-known that these spacetimes admit locally and globally naked singularities, we demonstrate that globally naked singularities are significantly more common than is stressed in the ...
