Computer technology has mostly focused either on the isolated individual, or has treated the person as a clueless extra wandering in a computer-controlled environment. Researchers seem to have forgotten that people are social animals, and that the quality of their lives is defined by their roles in human organizations. Instead of inventing technology for the individual as an isolated entity, wh...

In 1917, the German War Ministry commissioned Arthur Scherbius to invent a cipher machine. The early history of device was determined by political and economic disasters. Enigma taken up dubious businessmen in 1920. 1925 that ended catastrophe.

Abstract We establish the local-to-global property of synthetic curvature-dimension condition for essentially non-branching locally finite metric-measure spaces, extending work [Cavalletti and Milman in Invent Math 226(1):1–137, 2021].

In the present paper we establish the Wiener test for boundary regularity of the solutions to the polyharmonic operator. We introduce a new notion of polyharmonic capacity and demonstrate necessary and sufficient conditions on the capacity of the domain responsible for the regularity of a polyharmonic function near a boundary point. In the case of the Laplacian the test for regularity of a boun...

The authoring of fictional stories is considered a creative process. The purpose of most story au-thoring is not to invent a new style or genre of story that will be accepted by the population but to invent a single narrative that is novel enough to be tellable. Computational story generation systems are more limited in the space of narratives than human authors because it is often the case tha...

For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ , it known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ . A diffeomorphism $$\varphi : \rightarrow S^n$$ was constructed Cheeger Colding (J Differ Geom 46(3):406–480, 1997) using Reifenberg method. In this note, we show desire...
