Notes on absolute Hodge classes

Absolute Hodge classes first appear in Deligne’s proof of the Weil conjectures for K3 surfaces in [14] and are explicitly introduced in [16]. The notion of absolute Hodge classes in the singular cohomology of a smooth projective variety stands between that of Hodge classes and classes of algebraic cycles. While it is not known whether absolute Hodge classes are algebraic, their definition is bo...

Notes on decoherence at absolute zero

The problem of electron decoherence at low-temperature is analyzed from the perspective of recent experiments on decoherence rate measurement and on related localization phenomena in low-dimensional systems. The importance of decoherence at zero temperature, perhaps induced by quantum #uctuations, is put in a broader context. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We live in a meaningful world. Our capacity to deal with the ‘external world’ is constituted by the possibility of modifying the world by means of our actions; by the possibility of representing the world as an objective reality; and by the possibility of experiencing phenomenally this same objective reality, from a situated, self-conscious perspective. It is tempting to address these different...

It is suggested that before studying intersubjectivity we ...
