The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships among brand experience, brand personality, and customer experiential value. Understanding these relationships is helpful to managers in their assessment of the level of appeal that will influence target consumers’ perception of brand personality, as well as their brand experience. An empirical survey conducted with 270 real consumers in...

Financial decisions can only be understood by considering individual behavior and its deviations from rational behavior. Financial markets are based on a multitude of decisions by individuals. Therefore it is only natural that decision theory plays a fundamental role in understanding financial markets. Probably the most important class of financial decisions are decisions under risk. They can b...

We study the geometry of p-adic analogues complex analytic period spaces first introduced by Griffiths. More precisely, we prove Fargues-Rapoport conjecture for domains: a reductive group G over field and minuscule cocharacter µ G, weakly admissible locus coincides with one if only Kottwitz set B(G, µ) is fully Hodge-Newton decomposable.

We study the global structure of moduli spaces of quasiisogenies of polarized p-divisible groups introduced by Rapoport and Zink. Using the corresponding results for non-polarized p-divisible groups from a previous paper, we determine their dimensions and their sets of connected components and of irreducible components. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14L05, 14K10 (Primary) 14G35 (Seco...

Let G be an unramified group over a p-adic field. This article introduces a base change homomorphism for Bernstein centers of depth-zero principal series blocks for G and proves the corresponding base change fundamental lemma. This result is used in the approach to Shimura varieties with Γ1(p)-level structure initiated by M. Rapoport and the author in [HR2].
