The Nature, Structure, and Perception of Illumination
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Illumination is a defining characteristic of natural environments, yet its nature and spatial structure remain poorly understood. I argue first that illumination is not simply light: it is an emergent, ecologically significant kind. Illumination has features not possessed by light, and contains self‐organizing structures that persist through ...

On the relation between states and maps in infinite dimensions
, 2007 Relations between states and maps, which are known for quantum systems in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are formulated rigorously in geometrical terms with no use of coordinate (matrix) interpretation.

The Necessary Uniformity of Physical Probability
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT According to contemporary consensus, physical probabilities may be “non‐uniform”: they need not correspond to a uniform measure over the space of physically possible worlds. Against consensus, I argue that only uniform probabilities connect robustly to long‐run frequencies.

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.

The transportation of embedded inversion in world Englishes
World Englishes, EarlyView.Abstract The present study uses private correspondence to investigate the use of embedded inversion on both sides of the Atlantic as an illustration of the spread of spoken/conversational features through writing. The paper discusses the use of embedded inversion in Irish English (IrE) and briefly compares its occurrence in other varieties of English ...

Dimer models and conformal structures
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 340-446, February 2026.Abstract Dimer models have been the focus of intense research efforts over the last years. Our paper grew out of an effort to develop new methods to study minimizers or the asymptotic height functions of general dimer models and the geometry of their frozen boundaries.

Tractability of Integration in Non-periodic and Periodic Weighted Tensor Product Hilbert Spaces
Journal of Complexity, 2002 The authors study strong tractability and tractability of multivariate integrals in weighted tensor product reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. They obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on strong tractability and tractability in terms of the weights of the space.

Models in Decision‐Making Under Risk and Uncertainty
Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 304-320, February 2026.ABSTRACT This paper systematically compares dominant frameworks for modeling decision‐making under risk and uncertainty, evaluating their theoretical trade‐offs and practical relevance for economic research. We establish key criteria for model selection—including predictive accuracy, descriptive realism, computational tractability, and ecological ...

SciPost PhysicsWe propose a generalization of the RT and HRT holographic entanglement entropy formulas to spacetimes with asymptotically Minkowski as well as asymptotically AdS regions. We postulate that such spacetimes represent entangled states in a tensor product of
