The Burau representation is unitary [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1984
A slight modification of the Burau representation of the braid group is shown to be unitary relative to an explicitly defined Hermitian form. This gives a partial answer to the problem of identifying the image of the Burau representation and provides a tool for attacking the question of whether or not the Burau representation is faithful.

Auditory Sensitivity in Autism: A Systematic Review of Mismatch Negativity and Mismatch Field Responses

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Auditory mismatch responses—mismatch negativity (MMN) and mismatch fields (MMF)—are well established electrophysiological markers of automatic auditory discrimination supported by short‐term sensory memory. These responses, typically elicited using passive oddball paradigms, are increasingly used to investigate sensory and language processing ...

The Unique Roles of Executive Function in Co‐Occurring Psychopathologies in Autism

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience co‐occurring psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which significantly impair daily functioning. However, the underlying mechanisms linking these conditions to core ASD features remain poorly understood.

Irony Comprehension in Monolingual and Bilingual Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined verbal irony comprehension in monolingual and bilingual autistic children, focusing on irony recognition, intention understanding, cue use while deciphering ironic meanings, and error patterns. A low‐verbal, multimodal task was used to minimize linguistic and metalinguistic demands.

On the Uniqueness of the Fock Quantization of the Dirac Field in the Closed FRW Cosmology

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematical Physics, 2018
The Fock quantization of free fields propagating in cosmological backgrounds is in general not unambiguously defined due to the nonstationarity of the space-time. For the case of a scalar field in cosmological scenarios, it is known that the criterion of

On the characters of unitary representations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Australian Mathematical Society. Series A. Pure Mathematics and Statistics, 1988
AbstractLet G be a locally compact group, and let D(G) be a dense subalgebra of the convolution algebra L1(G). Suppose that π is a unitary representation of G and that, for each u in D(G), π(u)) is a trace-class operator. Then the linear functional u → tr(π(u)) (the trace of π(u)) is called the D-character of π.

String Figuring young children's perspectives of quality in English early childhood education and care

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Unitary equivalence in generalized uncertainty principle theories

open access: yesNuclear Physics B
We analyze the issue of unitary equivalence within Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) theories in the one-dimensional case. For a deformed Heisenberg algebra, its representation in terms of Hilbert space and conjugate operators is not uniquely ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)
