An investigation of actions, change, space within a hole-loop dichotomy

چکیده
This work investigates the spatial knowledge of a domain composed of non-trivial objects such as strings and holed objects. To this aim, we consider the formalisation of puzzlelike examples as the starting point for the development of Knowledge Representation systems. The present paper concentrates on the representation of “loops” (or loop-like regions) that can be formed by a flexible string, and that may play an essential part in the solution of physical problems involving strings.

An Investigation into the Hegelian Government's Functions in Organizing the Political Economy of Geographical Space
Aims & Backgrounds :The political economy of space studies the spatial patterns of capital, public goods, infrastructure, and how to adopt the necessary measures for the continuation of capital accumulation by political actors. Obviously, among different frames of political economy, the state-oriented approach seeks to study the role of actors and governing institutions in who distribution of p...
متن کامل(Non)native Language Teachers’ Cognitions: Are They Dichotomous?
In view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. The dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. In recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. The challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...
متن کاملApparent horizons, black hole entropy and loop quantum gravity
In recent work on black hole entropy in non-perturbative quantum gravity, an action for the black hole sector of the phase space is introduced and (partially) quantized. We give a number of observations on this and related works. In particular we show that (i) the entropy calculation applies without change to generally covariant theories having no black hole solutions, (ii) the phase space cons...
متن کاملPhase-space and Black Hole Entropy of Toroidal Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity
In the context of loop quantum gravity, we construct the phase-space of the isolated horizon with toroidal topology. Within the loop quantum gravity framework, this horizon is described by a torus with N punctures and the dimension of the corresponding phase-space is calculated including the toroidal cycles as degrees of freedom. From this, the black hole entropy can be calculated by counting t...
متن کاملPhase-space and Black Hole Entropy of Higher Genus Horizons in Loop Quantum Gravity
In the context of loop quantum gravity, we construct the phase-space of isolated horizons with genus greater than 0. Within the loop quantum gravity framework, these horizons are described by genus g surfaces with N punctures and the dimension of the corresponding phase-space is calculated including the genus cycles as degrees of freedom. From this, the black hole entropy can be calculated by c...
