Seek and Ye Shall Find

This chapter proposes that search engines apply a verticalizing pressure on the WWW many-to-many information distribution model, forcing this to revert to a distributive model similar to that of the mass media. The argument for this starts with a critical descriptive examination of the history of search mechanisms for the Internet. Parallel to this there is a discussion of the increasing ties b...

On the modular curves YE(7)

Let E denote an elliptic curve over Q and Y E (7) the modular curve classifying the elliptic curves E over Q such that the representations of Gal(Q/Q) in the 7-torsion points of E and of E are symplectically isomorphic. In case E is given by a Weierstraß equation such that the c 4 invariant is a square, we exhibit here nontrivial points of Y E (7)(Q). From this we deduce an infinite family of c...

Comments on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

We study a quantum mechanical model proposed by Sachdev, Ye and Kitaev. The model consists of N Majorana fermions with random interactions of a few fermions at a time. It it tractable in the large N limit, where the classical variable is a bilocal fermion bilinear. The model becomes strongly interacting at low energies where it develops an emergent conformal symmetry. We study two and four poin...

Seek and Ye Shall Find Fibrillations.

See related article, p 1982. Law No. 10 in the satirical book House of God states, “If you don’t take a temperature, you can’t find a fever.” In essence, do not go looking for problems. However, what if finding that fever led to ordering a limb ultrasound, discovering a deep vein thrombosis, prescribing anticoagulation, and averting life-threatening pulmonary emboli? Similar logic now applies f...
