Extra dimensions present a new flatness problem
There is no known fundamental reason to demand as a cosmological initial condition that the bulk possess an SO(3, 1) isometry. On the contrary, one expects bulk curvature terms that violate the SO(3, 1) isometry at early epochs, leading to a violation of Lorentz invariance on our brane. Demanding that the Lorentz noninvariant terms are small leads to a new “flatness” problem, not solved by the ...
متن کاملGetting the measure of the flatness problem
The problem of estimating cosmological parameters such as from noisy or incomplete data is an example of inverse problems and, as such, generally requires a probabilistic approach. We adopt the Bayesian interpretation of probability for such problems and stress the connection between probability and information which this approach makes explicit. This connection is important even when informa...
متن کاملOn the Entailment Problem for a Logic of Typicality
Propositional Typicality Logic (PTL) is a recently proposed logic, obtained by enriching classical propositional logic with a typicality operator. In spite of the non-monotonic features introduced by the semantics adopted for the typicality operator, the obvious Tarskian definition of entailment for PTL remains monotonic and is therefore not appropriate. We investigate different (semantic) vers...
متن کاملAnalysis-by-synthesis dissolve detection
This paper presents a novel, real-time, minimal-latency technique for dissolve detection which handles the widely varying camera techniques, expertise, and overall video quality seen in amateur, semi-professional, and professional video footage. We achieve 88% recall and 93% precision for dissolve detection. In contrast, on the same data set, at a similar recall rate (87%), DCD has more than 3 ...
متن کاملHow to Dissolve a Partnership
We survey in a uni...ed framework the recent literature on partnership dissolution in settings where agents have interdependent values. Contrary to the private values case where the main obstacle that hinders the construction of e¢cient trading mechanisms is the asymmetry in initial endowments, we ...nd that informational asymmetries play here a major role. For settings where the ...rst-best ca...
