Strongly Fillable Contact Manifolds and J-holomorphic Foliations
, 2008 We prove that every strong symplectic filling of a planar contact manifold admits a symplectic Lefschetz fibration over the disk, and every strong filling of the 3-torus similarly admits a Lefschetz fibration over the annulus.

Modeling small‐angle scattering data of porous and/or bicontinuous structures in n dimensions
Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.A small‐angle scattering fitting function is derived for porous materials with arbitrary fractal dimension. It includes a correlation peak and a power law at higher q.Fractal structures are often observed in small‐angle scattering experiments where a simple power law q−α describes the scattering intensity over many orders of magnitude.

Monitoring Quality of Mafia‐Connected Accountants
Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the monitoring quality of accountants with ties to the Mafia in their role as auditors for “clean” firms—those with no known ties to organized crime. Using a proprietary government database, we identify Italian firms with alleged ties to the Mafia through their executives, directors, or shareholders.

The insurance hypothesis suggests that extensively managed, species‐rich grassland is more drought resistant than intensively managed grassland.

Abacus, EarlyView.This study examines whether comparable financial information can mitigate differences between individual and institutional investors’ trading behaviour, particularly behaviour that is shaped by investor sentiment. The results indicate that the higher the comparability, the smaller the gap in trading behaviour driven by investor sentiment between ...

Towards Credible GHG Reporting: The Role of GHG Assurance and Assurance Providers in Firm Valuation
Abacus, EarlyView.The demand for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosures is rising globally; yet, the credibility of such information remains uncertain when assurance is not mandated. Drawing on a sample of firms from 43 countries, this study examines the role of GHG assurance and the choice of assurance provider in the market value effects of GHG emissions.
