Descent, Affinity, and Ritual Relations in Eastern Turkey

The Amerindianization of Descent and Affinity

Turkey-EU relations

Ever since Turkey and the EU began membership negotiations in 2005, the process has been riddled with difficulties which have impacted on broader Turkey-EU ties. Relations took a further blow last week following the publication of the European Commission’s 2012 Progress Report. Out of the fifteen reports that Turkey has received to date, this was one of the hardest-hitting in recent times, crit...

The dynamics of the eastern Mediterranean and eastern Turkey

S U M M A R Y In this study we investigate the dynamics of the region that includes Greece, the Aegean Sea and Asia Minor. In a least-squares inversion we solve for a continuous strain rate field, and corresponding velocity field, that satisfies 872 GPS data. The estimate of the geodetic strain rate field provides constraints for our dynamic analysis. Next, we separately solve the depth integra...

Descent Relations in Type 0A/0B

The type 0 theories have twice as many stable D-branes as the type II theories. In light of this added complication, we find the descent relations for D-branes in the type 0A and 0B theories. In addition, we work out how the two types of D-branes differ in their couplings to NS-NS fields. E-mail: [email protected]

Brane Descent Relations in K - theory

The various descent and duality relations among BPS and non-BPS D-branes are classified using topological K-theory. It is shown how the descent procedures for producing type-II D-branes from brane-antibrane bound states by tachyon condensation and (−1)L projections arise as natural homomorphisms of K-groups generating the brane charges. The transformations are generalized to type-I theories and...
