This study focuses on how employees cope with dueling social identities when one is of relatively low status compared to the other by studying local senior executives in mulinational corporations’ (MNC’s) subsidiaries who can identify with the local staff and/or headquarters’ management. As hypothesized, perceptions of local staff incompetence are positively related to executives’ turnover inte...

The stories we tell about our lives unveil their content just as much as the lexical choices we make index a certain worldview, attitude, positionality, and relationship to reality. In essence, in narratives, individuals construct the self and denote personal identities. The available narrative identity studies have largely ignored the language employed by the bewitched while narrating their ex...

There has been much academic discussion of federated authentication, and quite some political manoeuvring about ‘e-ID’. The grand vision, which has been around for years in various forms but was recently articulated in the US National Strategy for Trustworthy Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC), is that a single logon should work everywhere [1]. You should be able to use your identity provider of ...

The Lagrangian formalism for tensor fields over differentiable manifolds with different (not only by sign) contravariant and covariant affine connections and a metric [(Ln, g)-spaces] is considered. The functional variation and the Lie variation of a Lagrangian density, depending on components of tensor fields (with finite rank) and their first and second covariant derivatives are established. ...

Lavelle-McMullan symmetry of QED is examined at classical and quantum levels. It is shown that Lavelle-McMullan symmetry does not give any new non-trivial information in QED by examining the Ward-Takahashi identities. Being inspired by the examination of Ward-Takahashi identity, we construct the generalized non-local and non-covariant symmetries of QED.

1. Will the process and outcome be seen as publicly legitimate? The envisioned identity ecosystem will affect many people in many ways, but the “steering” process will have questionable legitimacy unless it is open and genuinely representative of users’ interests. More generally, we question whether any putatively representative stakeholder process can be perceived as publicly legitimate in the...

Using the trace formula technique, we establish Langlands functorial lifting from the unitary group U(3, E/F ) to RF ′/F U(3, E/F ), where F /F is an odd degree cyclic field extension. We also establish local twisted character identities with respect to this base change lifting.

Such identities arise in Rankin-Selberg integral representations of L-functions. For GL2, a naive, direct computation is sufficient. However, for general GLn and other higher-rank groups, direct computation is inadequate. Further, connecting local Rankin-Selberg computations to Schur functions usefully connects these computations to the Shintani-Casselman-Shalika formulas for spherical p-adic W...
