A bstract We examine the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT. For a 4D bulk theory containing massless particles spin s = $$ \left\{0,\frac{1}{2},1,\frac{3}{2},2\right\} 0 1 2 3 we...

We propose a robust programming model for dense ensembles of ultra miniaturized computing nodes which are deployed in bulk fashion, e.g. embedded into building materials. We sketch a hardware reference model as an initial guide to the application domain, then we describe a programming model based on mobile code fragments which self assemble into larger structures. We outline a simple representa...

Almost all have names or Greek letter designations as part of constellations that anyone can learn to recognize. Modern astronomers have divided the sky into 88 constellations, many of them fictitious— ...
