Recasting the Elliott Conjecture

Let A be a simple, unital, finite, and exact C-algebra which absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A admits a complete order embedding into an ordered semigroup which is obtained from the Elliott invariant in a functorial manner. We conjecture that this embedding is an isomorphism, and prove the conjecture in several cases. In these same cases — Z-stab...

Speaker 4: Marco Leyton, Canada

Cocaine addiction is increasingly considered to stem from the development of maladaptive, stimulus bound, drug seeking habits that both contribute to the maintenance of drug use despite aversive consequences, and also to high rates of relapse. However because relapse by definition occurs only after a period of abstinence, the relative contribution of habits and pharmacological withdrawal from t...

Angiomyoma of the Hard Palate

Leiomyoma is a rare benign neoplasm deriving from smooth muscle. Vascular leiomyoma is its most common subtype in the oral cavity. It may appear at any age with the greatest incidence in the 4th and 5th decade of life. The common manifestation is a slow-growing, asymptomatic, submucousal mass. The diagnosis is only through microscopic examination requiring special staining...

The Design Argument Elliott Sober

The design argument is one of three main arguments for the existence of God; the others are the ontological argument and the cosmological argument. Unlike the ontological argument, the design argument and the cosmological argument are a posteriori. And whereas the cosmological argument can focus on any present event to get the ball rolling (arguing that it must trace back to a first cause, name...
