Impossibility of SNARGs∗

In the last few years, applications such practical verifiable computation, anonymous cryptocurrencies (e.g. Zcash), signature of knowledge and etc have made succinct non-interactive arguments (SNARGs) as an active research area for ground-breaking researchers. A non-interactive computationally sound argument (proof system) for NP is succinct if the its proof size is polylogarithmic the instance...

Applications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms

In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.

The impossibility of informed consent?

The problematic nature of informed consent to medical treatment and research, and its relation to autonomy, trust and clinical practice, has been addressed on many occasions and from a variety of ethical perspectives in the pages of the Journal of Medical Ethics. This paper gives an account of how discussion of these issues has developed and changed, by describing a number of significant contri...
