How (Not) to Palatini
We revisit the problem of defining non-minimal gravity in the first order formalism. Specializing to scalar-tensor theories, which may be disguised as ‘higher-derivative’ models with the gravitational Lagrangians that depend only on the Ricci scalar, we show how to recast these theories as Palatini-like gravities. The correct formulation utilizes the Lagrange multiplier method, which preserves ...
متن کاملHow Not To Do
We give some dos and don'ts for those analysing algorithms experimentally. We illustrate these with many examples from our own research on the study of algorithms for NP-complete problems such as satis ability and constraint satisfaction. Where we have not followed these maxims, we have su ered as a result.

I NVITED TO REFLECT ON THE RELATIONSHIP between theology and ecology, and to explore why that relationship might seem to have 'lost its appeal', I decided to look at the Christian theological tradition and the demands that a fruitful and appropriate relationship with ecology might make on it. Do theology's anthropological postulates encourage the kind of theological freedom needed to respond to...
متن کاملHow not to wait long
This report is mainly based on the paper [DEFM17], which proposes an algorithm to "speed up" cryptocurrency transactions. The authors call their protocol PERUN for reasonsthat are described in their paper. As a proof of concept the authors of the paper have implemented their protocol as a smart contract in Ethereum, however in principal it might be also possible in other cryptocurrencies. As Bi...
متن کاملHow (Not) to Raise Money
We show that standard winner-pay auctions are inept fund-raising mechanisms because of the positive externality bidders forgo if they top another’s high bid. Revenues are suppressed as a result and remain finite even when bidders value a dollar donated the same as a dollar kept. This problem does not occur in lotteries and all-pay auctions, where bidders pay irrespective of whether they win. We...
