Liberal Egalitarianism and the Harm Principle
This paper analyses Rawlss celebrated di¤erence principle, and its lexicographic extension, in societies with a nite and an in nite number of agents. A uni ed framework of analysis is set up, which allows one to characterise Rawlsian egalitarian principles by means of a weaker version of a new axiom the Harm Principle recently proposed by [13]. This is quite surprising, because the Harm princ...
متن کاملReformulating Yang-Mills theory in terms of local gauge invariant variables
A long standing problem in Yang-Mills theories is whether its dynamics can be written in terms of gauge invariant variables. This is very important for our understanding of confinement in QCD. One option is to write the theory as dynamics of Wilson loops. However these are nonlocal variables and their evolution equations are difficult to handle. Another approach has been to use composite variab...
متن کاملReformulating SU(N) Yang-Mills theory based on change of variables
We propose a new version of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory reformulated in terms of new field variables which are obtained by a nonlinear change of variables from the original Yang-Mills gauge field. The reformulated Yang-Mills theory enables us to study the low-energy dynamics by explicitly extracting the topological degrees of freedom such as magnetic monopoles and vortices to clarify the mechanism ...
متن کاملA large deviation principle for the Yang-Mills measure
We prove the first mathematical result relating the Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface and the Yang-Mills energy. We show that, at the small volume limit, the scaled Yang-Mills measures satisfy a large deviation principle with the Yang-Mills energy as rate function. This gives some rigorous content to the informal description of the Yang-Mills measure as the Gibbs measure of the Yang-Mills...
متن کاملXenotransplantation and the harm principle : Factoring out foreseen risk
Xenotransplantation – the transplantation, implantation, or infusion of live cells, tissues or organs from a nonhuman animal source into humans – has been suggested as the most imminent strategy to alleviate the shortage of human grafts. The pursuit of this technology is nonetheless restricted by an unquantifiable risk that the use of animal grafts will unleash new zoonoses that may affect the ...
