A Speculative Remark on Holography

Holography suggests a considerable reduction of degrees of freedom in theories with gravity. However it seems to be difficult to understand how holography could be realized in a closed re–contracting universe. In this letter we claim that a scenario which achieves that goal will eliminate all spatial degrees of freedom. This would require a different concept of quantum mechanics and would imply...

A Remark on a Remark by Macaulay or Enhancing Lazard Structural Theorem

Remark on a Reply

1.1 In their original PNAS article Macy and Sato (2002) make it clear that their main point concerns social mobility (see, for instance, the abstract and the last section). Their central claim is the non-monotonic effect of mobility: with moderate mobility, they maintain, trust can be established; with too much mobility, trust and trustworthiness are undermined — and therefore their "warning fl...

A remark on Remainders of homogeneous spaces in some compactifications

‎We prove that a remainder $Y$ of a non-locally compact‎ ‎rectifiable space $X$ is locally a $p$-space if and only if‎ ‎either $X$ is a Lindel"{o}f $p$-space or $X$ is $sigma$-compact‎, ‎which improves two results by Arhangel'skii‎. ‎We also show that if a non-locally compact‎ ‎rectifiable space $X$ that is locally paracompact has a remainder $Y$ which has locally a $G_{delta}$-diagonal‎, ‎then...

A remark on the means of the number of divisors

‎We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the sequence with general term $frac{A_n}{G_n}$‎, ‎where $A_n$ and $G_n$ are the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers $d(1),d(2),dots,d(n)$‎, ‎with $d(n)$ denoting the number of positive divisors of $n$‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we obtain some explicit bounds concerning $G_n$ and $frac{A_n}{G_n}$.
