Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

Kripke's Reduction of Löb's Theorem to the Second Incompleteness Theorem

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss Kripke's reduction of Löb's Principle to the Second Incompleteness Theorem. We have a closer look at the non‐constructive character of the reduction. We reflect on what the argument has to tell us. In the Appendix, We give a strengthening of Löb's Principle suggested by Kripke's reduction.

Lifts of continuous and Hölder alpha curves in the configuration space MN/SN$M^N/S_N$

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract In this paper, we study the quotient space X=MN/SN$X = M^N / S_N$ of equivalence classes of N$N$‐tuples in a metric space (M,dM)$(M, d_M)$, equipped with the metric induced by the minimal total pairing distance. Given a continuous path F:(0,1)→X$F: (0,1) \rightarrow X$, we prove that there exist continuous functions f1,⋯,fN:(0,1)→M$f_1, \dots,

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

Aggregated Compensation Peer Group Disclosure and Managerial Labor Market Competition: A Network Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Accounting Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 831-884, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we develop novel measures of managerial labor market classification and competition by constructing networks of compensation benchmarking peers disclosed in proxy statements. These networks represent firms’ relative positions within the managerial labor market.
