Any reader of the paper by Laloux et al. [1] would have been left utterly confused after consulting the time series for the price of Japanese Government Bonds (JGB) around May 1995 looking for a log-periodic power law acceleration in the data. The authors of [1] now confess their error and admit that the prediction date given in [1] was incorrect and that the correct prediction was for August 1...

Entropy , the Indus Script , and Language : A Reply to R .

In a recent Last Words column (Sproat 2010), Richard Sproat of the Oregon Health and Science University laments the reviewing practices of “general science journals” after dismissing our work and that of Lee, Jonathan, and Ziman (2010) as “useless” and “trivially and demonstrably wrong.” While we expect such categorical statements to have already raised some red flags in the minds of readers, w...

Race Differences and r / K Theory A Reply to

The sequence of this suite of life-history characters may parallel the order of emergence of the populations in earth h...

Some remarks on metric space QQ(R)

QQ(R) (abbreviated as Q) is the space of unordered Q points in R introduced by Almgren [AF]. In this paper, we first show that the space Q with metric G is non-negatively curved in the sense of Alexandrov. We also discuss some issues like metric tangent cone and exponential map. In the second part, we define the signature of points in Q, give a decomposition of this metric space according to th...
