If ∇ is a torsionless connection on the tangent bundle of a manifold M the Weyl curvature W is the part of the curvature in kernel of the Ricci contraction. We give a coordinate free proof of Weyl’s result that W vanishes if and only if (M,∇) is (locally) diffeomorphic to RP with ∇, when transported to RP, in the projective class of ∇LC , the Levi-Civita connection of the Fubini–Study metric on...

Using both fixed-effects and generalized method-of-moments estimators, affiliate wage levels are estimated to respond to both affiliate and parent profitability. The elasticity of affiliate wages to parent profits per wo...

However, it is a large, multifaceted and highly complex concept to come to grips with, where the devil is often in the detail. Thus, it is no mean task to ...

A persistent, but little researched, theme in demographic transition theory is that of transition, especially fertility transition, lagging for cultural reasons behind changes in material circumstances. A sub-theme is that of the lag time being shortened by social upheaval challenging the cultural retardants and thus causing demographic behaviour to catch up with economic reality. This paper ex...

Legal analysis is a multistep process that performs the complex tasks of identifying real world activities through the lens of a predefined legal code and sets of laws. Based on a brief understanding of an issue a legal professional must make a recommendation on where to apply limited researching resources. We employ Naïve Bayes models in a parallel, nonmutually exclusive alignment towards the ...
