We construct analytic solutions of open bosonic string field theory for any exactly marginal deformation in any boundary conformal field theory when properly renormalized operator products of the marginal operator are given. We explicitly provide such renormalized operator products for a class of marginal deformations which include the deformations of flat D-branes in flat backgrounds by consta...

This paper addresses the institutional context and academic practices related to the production and use of literary theory and criticism in the Spanish universities, with a special focus on the role of theory in Spanish Anglistics in recent years. The paper assesses interdisciplinary communication, the impact of new theoretical paradigms (feminism, postcolonial Studies, etc.) in a specifically ...

In linear regression problems with related predictors, it is desirable to do variable selection and estimation by maintaining the hierarchical or structural relationships among predictors. In this paper, we propose nonnegative garrote methods that can naturally incorporate such relationships defined through effect heredity principles or marginality principles. We show that the methods are very ...

Abstract. The Csiszár f-divergence, which is a class of information distance, is known to offer the classical counterpart of the quantum impossible cloning operations for the factrized and marginality classical probability distributions under Liouville dynamics. We show that a class of information distance belonging not to this divergence class also provides the classical version of the no-clon...
