We show that the cohomology table of any coherent sheaf on projective space is a convergent—but possibly infinite—sum of positive real multiples of the cohomology tables of what we call supernatural sheaves. Introduction Let K be a field, and let F be a coherent sheaf on P = P K . The cohomology table of F is the collection of numbers γ(F) = (γi,d) with γi,d = dimH (P,F(d)), which we think of a...

Behavioral actions can attain their intended result either when all possible details and intervening factors are controlled in advance by the action plan, or when only the final outcome is taken into account while the rest is left for on-line correction. Both ways have numerous advantages and disadvantages. The former can be applied only in very simple instances and therefore, puts very strong ...

supernatural forces, which in turn become oppressive social

We use supernatural bundles to build GL-equivariant resolutions supported on the diagonal of Pn × Pn, in a way that extends Beilinson’s resolution of the diagonal. We thus obtain results about supernatural bundles that largely parallel known results about exceptional collections. We apply this construction to Boij–Söderberg decompositions of cohomology tables of vector bundles, yielding a proof...

e nature of divine eternality is obscure in both historical andmodern discussions. In a way its obscurity is no surprise, given that the nature of time is so mysterious. But the obscurity is still notable relative to the other traditional divine attributes, which are comparatively much better understood. Our perplexities regarding eternality are compounded, I will argue here, by a failure to re...

Supernatural belief presents an explanatory challenge to evolutionary theorists-it is both costly and prevalent. One influential functional explanation claims that the imagined threat of supernatural punishment can suppress selfishness and enhance cooperation. Specifically, morally concerned supreme deities or 'moralizing high gods' have been argued to reduce free-riding in large social groups,...
