Crisis Between the Wars: Derrida and the Origins of Undecidability

T     deconstruction has so far resisted historicization. But perhaps the crucial factor has been the continuing presence of its main practitioner, Jacques Derrida, who refused, one might say, to become part of history. Right up to his death in October of 2004, Derrida wrote about some of the key issues facing the world today. So while deconstruction as a ‘‘theory’’ has lar...

Derrida, Butler and an Education in Otherness

Guerra ’ s interpolation using Derrida - Ruelle cascades

New results about Poisson-Dirichlet point processes and Derrida-Ruelle cascades allow us to express Guerra’s interpolation entirely in the language of Derrida-Ruelle cascades and to streamline Guerra’s computations. Moreover, our approach clarifies the nature of the error terms along the interpolation.

First-order Entropies for the Derrida-lebowitz-speer-spohn Equation

A logarithmic fourth-order parabolic equation in one space dimension with periodic boundary conditions is analyzed. Using a new semidiscrete approximation in time, a first-order entropy–entropy dissipation inequality is proved. Passing to the limit of vanishing time discretization parameter, some regularity results are deduced. Moreover, it is shown that the solution is strictly positive for la...
