In his 1984 proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures de Branges used a positivity result of special functions which follows from an identity about Jacobi polynomial sums that was found by Askey and Gasper in 1973, published in 1976. In 1991 Weinstein presented another proof of the Bieberbach and Milin conjectures, also using a special function system which (by Todorov and Wilf) was realize...

We consider the automorphic forms which govern the gravitational threshold correction F1 in models of heterotic/IIA duality with N = 2 supersymmetry in four dimensions. In particular we derive the full nonperturbative formula for F1 for the dual pair originally considered by Ferrara, Harvey, Strominger and Vafa (FHSV). The answer involves an interesting automorphic product constructed by Borche...

A concise review of the notions of elliptic functions, modular forms, and θ–functions is provided, devoting most of the paper to applications to Conformal Field Theory (CFT), introduced within the axiomatic framework of quantum field theory. Many features, believed to be peculiar to chiral 2D (= two dimensional) CFT, are shown to have a counterpart in any (even dimensional) globally conformal i...

People show medial prefrontal cortex and superior temporal sulcus (STS) activation when making dispositional attributions to other people (Harris, Todorov, & Fiske, 2005) under conditions predicted by Kelley’s (1972) ANOVA model. Here, participants make dispositional attributions to entire categories of objects under similar conditions; they also show greater activity in STS (implicated in perc...

Although predictive coding may offer a computational principle that unifies perception and action, states with different directions of fit are involved (with indicative and imperative contents, respectively). Predictive states are adjusted to fit the world in the course of perception, but in the case of action the corresponding states act as a fixed target towards which the agent adjusts the wo...

Bu çalışmada ilk olarak, Türk korku sinemasında oldukça sıra dışı bir yer işgal eden, Kutluğ Ataman’ın Karanlık Sular (1993) filminin yapısı, edebiyatının en önemli isimlerinden birisi olan H.P. Lovecraft’ın ‘kozmik korku’ kavramından ve filozof Tzvetan Todorov’un ‘fantastik’ yaklaşımından yola çıkarak ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır. Ardından, filmin kozmik fantastik yapısını oluşturan çoğunlukl...

First impressions are powerful and rich sources of information about other people, and studies have demonstrated that they predict performance in numerous domains, such as teaching (Ambady & Rosenthal, 1993) and electoral success (Todorov, Mandisodza, Goren, & Hall, 2005). Much of this work, however, has employed outcome variables that are subjective. For example, in the study of teacher effect...

Este artigo traz análise da obra “Olhos de azeviche - dez escritoras negras que estão renovando a literatura brasileira” (2017), pelo viés memória social. Tratam-se narrativas mulheres consolidam o não silenciamento em prol do seu reconhecimento identitário. Teoricamente nos fundamentamos em: Assmann (2018), Bosi (2003), Pollak e Ricouer (2007) quanto à discussão sobre social; Evaristo (2020), ...
