quantum theory poses itself to be a challenging counterpart to the intelligent design argument. quantum physics founded upon uncertainty, probability and statistics has exerted great influence since its inception on the philosophical thinking of man. the findings of this theory has helped bring about a dramatic transformation in the notion of ‘order in nature.’ in modern physics, it is hardly p...

Let H be a Heisenberg superalgebra. In this paper, the definition of biderivations and the properties of biderivations on Lie superalgebras are introduced. And some properties of biderivations on Heisenberg superalgebras are introduced by the definition of Heisenberg superalge-bras.

We construct an anisotropic, degenerate, fractional operator that nevertheless satisfies a strong form of the maximum principle. By applying such an operator to the concavity function associated to the solution of an equation involving the usual fractional Laplacian, we obtain a fractional form of the celebrated convexity maximum principle devised by Korevaar in the 80’s. Some applications are ...

We introduce reserve prices in the literature concerning all-pay auctions with complete information, and reconsider the case for the so-called Exclusion Principle (namely, the fact that the seller may find it in her best interest to exclude the bidders with the largest willingness to pay for the prize). We show that a version of it extends to our setting. However, we also show that the Exclusio...

Previous research has demonstrated that risk and ambiguity preferences are both influenced by a decision-maker’s perceived sense of competence. However, related research has been limited to the effects of task-specific competence rather than those of general competence. In this paper, we argue that a perception of competence need not be related to the domain of the evaluated decision in order t...

In this paper we point out that the spacetime uncertainty relation proposed for string theory has strong cosmological implications that can solve the flatness problem and the horizon problem without the need of inflation. We make minimal assumptions about the very early universe.

We study contracting and costly renegotiation in settings of complete, but unverifiable information, using the mechanism-design approach. We show how renegotiation activity is best modeled in the fundamentals of the mechanism-design framework, so that noncontractibility of renegotiation amounts to a constraint on the problem. We formalize and clarify the Renegotiation-Proofness Principle (RPP),...
