نویسنده
چکیده
My training in graduate school was in Social and Personality psychology with a specialization in Quantitative Methods and Evaluation Science (QMES). Thus, my research focuses on topics at the intersection of Social, Personality, and Clinical Psychology with an eye toward methodological and measurement issues in those domains. My substantive interest thus far has been the distinction between normal and abnormal personality. More specifically, my research has focused on issues related to the measurement of Psychopathy and Narcissism and the relations between these dimensions and various forms of socially aversive behavior (e.g., aggressiveness, infidelity).

Witt rings of quadratically presentable fields
This paper introduces an approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms based on {tmem{presentable}} partially ordered sets, that is partially ordered sets subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability. It turns out that the classical notion of the Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms over a field makes sense in the context of {tmem{quadratically p...
متن کاملOn the 3-Pfister number of quadratic forms
For a field F of characteristic different from 2, containing a square root of -1, endowed with an F-compatible valuation v such that the residue field has at most two square classes, we use a combinatorial analogue of the Witt ring of F to prove that an anisotropic quadratic form over F with even dimension d, trivial discriminant and Hasse-Witt invariant can be written in the Witt ring as the s...

متن کاملVirasoro 3-algebra from scalar densities
It is shown that the ternary Virasoro-Witt algebra of Curtright, Fairlie and Zachos can be constructed by applying the Nambu commutator to the vect(1) realization on scalar densities. This construction is generalized to vect(d), but the corresponding 3-algebra fails to close. There has recently been a surge of interest in 3-algebras in M-theory [1, 2, 3, 4], which is closely related to the tern...
