A number of researchers around the world have built machines that recognize, express, model, communicate, and respond to emotional information, instances of ‘‘affective computing.’’ This article raises and responds to several criticisms of affective computing, articulating state-of-the art research challenges, especially with respect to affect in humancomputer interaction. r 2003 Elsevier Scien...

We point out that, in a spontaneously broken U(1) gauge theory, inclusive processes, whose primary particles are mass eigenstates that do not coincide with the gauge eigenstates, are not free of infrared logarithms. The charge mixing allowed by symmetry breaking and the ensuing BlochNordsieck violation are here analyzed in a few relevant cases and in particular for processes initiated by longit...

We review the transcendental aspects of algebraic cycles, and explain how this relates to Calabi–Yau varieties. More precisely, after presenting a general overview, we begin with some rudimentary aspects of Hodge theory and algebraic cycles. We then introduce Deligne cohomology, as well as the generalized higher cycles due to Bloch that are connected to higher K-theory, and associated regulator...

1. INTRODUCTION. Although it is well known that every tetrahedron circum-scribes a sphere, the following two simple consequences apparently have not been previously recorded. First, any plane through the center of the inscribed sphere divides the tetrahedron into two smaller solids whose surface areas are equal if and only if their volumes are equal. Second, the centroid of the boundary surface...

We establish an explicit formula for the n-point correlation functions in the sense of Bloch-Okounkov for the irreducible representations of ĝl ∞ and W1+∞ of arbitrary positive integral levels.
