In order to state our theorems we need to view the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a smooth 4manifold as a multivariable (Laurent) polynomial. To do this, recall that the Seiberg-Witten invariant of a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X with b2 (X) > 1 is an integer valued function which is defined on the set of spin c structures over X, (cf. [W], [KM],[Ko1],[T1]). In caseH1(X,Z) has no 2-torsion (...

Since Becker (3), a common argument against asymmetric norms that promote minority rights over those of the majority is that such policies reduce total welfare. While this may be the case, we show that there are simple environments where aggregate sum of individual utilities is actually maximized under asymmetric norms that favor minorities. We thus maintain that without information regarding i...
