Rational points on even‐dimensional Fermat cubics
Abstract We show that even‐dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic not equal to three, by constructing explicit rational parameterizations with polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our rationality constructions, we obtain estimates for the number of their rational points over a number field and ...

Material Gworls: Consumption and Cosmopolitanism From Jamaica to Japan
ABSTRACT This article is part of the special issue “Racialization and the gig economy”, Anthropology of Work Review 47(1), June 2026, edited by Shreya Subramani and Christien Tompkins. Amidst the economic precarity exacerbated by neoliberal policies of the 20th century, Jamaican women look beyond the island's shores to find financial stability.

Perseverance Without Progress: Systemic Conditions of Climate Governance
ABSTRACT Global climate governance has produced ambitious agreements and extensive policy frameworks, yet decisive action remains out of reach. Emissions continue to overshoot Paris targets, and warnings of accelerating risks persist. This paradox—ongoing activity alongside a sense of insufficiency—raises a deeper question: Why do governance failures ...

From Everyman to Hamlet: A Distant Reading
Abstract The sixteenth century sees English drama move from Everyman to Hamlet: from religious to secular subject matter and from personified abstractions to characters bearing proper names. Most modern scholarship has explained this transformation in terms originating in the work of Jacob Burckhardt: concern with religion and a taste for ...

Interaction of Structured Light With Nanostructured Matter
Structured light–matter interactions at the nanoscale remain poorly understood. We reveal a symmetry‐matched mechanism governing orbital‐angular‐momentum‐dependent extinction in gold nanodisk oligomers. Tailored diffractive optical elements generate flower‐like beams whose rotational symmetry dictates absorption. Experiments and a semi‐analytical model
