The quark vacuum [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2003
We conjecture on the structure of the quark vacuum from a viewpoint somewhat different from, but perhaps supplementary to, standard philosophies. Using a rather simple dynamical Hamiltonian model, vacuum excitations carrying helicities 0 and +/-1 are discussed in connection with the dynamical stability of solutions.

Leibniz, Information, Math and Physics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2003
The information-theoretic point of view proposed by Leibniz in 1686 and developed by algorithmic information theory (AIT) suggests that mathematics and physics are not that different. This will be a first-person account of some doubts and speculations about the nature of mathematics that I have entertained for the past three decades, and which have now

The gauge-string duality and heavy ion collisions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
I review at a non-technical level the use of the gauge-string duality to study aspects of heavy ion collisions, with special emphasis on the trailing string calculation of heavy quark energy loss. I include some brief speculations on how variants of the trailing string construction could provide a toy model of black hole formation and evaporation. This

Abstract Straw returning is important for rural ecological management and sustainable agricultural development. Using farm survey data for Anhui Province, China, in 2020, we applied the double‐hurdle model to investigate the impact of agricultural machinery services and land fragmentation on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, and to explore the ...
