We discuss certain a priori geometric properties of two-dimensional steady gravity water waves with vorticity. The main result states that for an arbitrary distribution of vorticity, any periodic wave of finite depth with a single trough (a minimum over one period) is symmetric about a single crest (a maximum over one period) and the wave profile decreases (strictly) monotonically from crest to...

Carl Schmitt proposes a political theology founded on the paradigm of secularization. In an attempt to evade secularization, Strauss responds Schmitt’s approach in Philosophy and Law by subtly recovering Maimonidean prophet. By doing so, points prophet as theological–political figure who, ruler, survives secularization Enlightenment. Following trajectory laid out Strauss, this article explores ...
