Chatterjea type fixed point in Partial $b$-metric spacesFeb 08 2019In this paper, we give and prove two Chatterjea type fixed point theorems on partial $b$-metric space. We propose an extension to the Banach contraction principle on partial $b$-metric space which was already presented by Shukla and also study some related ... More ($2k+1)^{th}$-order Fixed points in $G$-metric spacesSep 22 2017We establish three major fixed-point theorems for functions satisfying an odd power type contractive condition in G-metric spaces. We first consider the case of a single mapping, followed by that of a triplet of mappings and we conclude by the case of ... More $n$-tuple fixed point in $φ$-ordered $G$-metric spacesSep 22 2017We use three seminal approaches in the study of fixed point theory, the so called $G$-metrics, multidimensional fixed points and partially ordered spaces. More precisely, we extend known results from the theory of quasi-pseudometric spaces to the $G$-metric ... More Interactional Expertise and EmbodimentJul 27 2016In Part 1 of this paper, I introduce the idea of interactional expertise while in Part 2, I focus on its implications for philosophical theories of the importance of the body in forming our conceptual world. I argue that the way philosophers have dealt ... More Mixed state Pauli channel parameter estimationAug 29 2012The accuracy of any physical scheme used to estimate the parameter describing the strength of a single qubit Pauli channel can be quantified using standard techniques from quantum estimation theory. It is known that the optimal estimation scheme, with ...

The self energy of a static quark, $E_0^\infty$ needed for this purpose, is now known to $O(\alpha^3)$ ... More Dynamics forced by surface trellisesJul 13 1999Given a saddle fixed point of a surface diffeomorphism, its stable and unstable curves $W^S$ and $W^U$ often form a homoclinic tangle. Given such a tangle, we use topological methods to find periodic points of the diffeomorphism, using only a subset of ... More Trans-Planckian relics in the scalar to tensor ratioOct 31 2008The physical properties of our universe at energy scales above the expansion rate during inflation can affect predictions for the ratio between the amplitudes of the primordial scalar and tensor fluctuations. In particular, we study here the effects of ... More Construction of a Prototype Spark ChamberOct 19 2010A small demonstration spark chamber is to be built at the Cavendish laboratory.

More 2-soft-gluon exchange and factorization breakingAug 31 2007A previous counterexample to disprove k_T-factorization for H_1+H_2 --> H_3+H_4+X is extended calculationally to one higher order in gluon exchange. The result is that, by explicit calculation, standard k_T-factorization fails for the unpolarized cross-section ... More On the concordance orders of knotsJun 04 2012This thesis develops some general calculational techniques for finding the orders of knots in the topological concordance group C. The techniques currently available in the literature are either too theoretical, applying to only a small number of knots, ... More Three Generative, Lexicalised Models for Statistical ParsingJun 17 1997In this paper we first propose a new statistical parsing model, which is a generative model of lexicalised context-free grammar. We then extend the model to include a probabilistic treatment of both subcategorisation and wh-movement. Results on Wall Street ... More Quasars and Galactic Nuclei,a Half-Century Agitated StoryApr 27 2006Sep 01 2006I recall how the discovery of quasars occurred more than forty years ago, and the strong debates marking out their story.

More The L^2 signature of torus knotsJan 08 2010Jun 25 2010We find a formula for the L2 signature of a (p,q) torus knot, which is the integral of the omega-signatures over the unit circle. We then apply this to a theorem of Cochran-Orr-Teichner to prove that the n-twisted doubles of the unknot, for n not 0 or ... More Rapidity divergences and valid definitions of parton densitiesAug 19 2008Sep 04 2008Rapidity divergences occur when parton densities in a gauge theory are defined in the most natural way, as expectation values of partonic number operators in light-front quantization. I review these and other related divergences, and show how the definitions ... More Monte-Carlo Event Generators at NLOOct 08 2001A method to construct Monte-Carlo event generators at arbitrarily non-leading order is explained for the case of a non-gauge theory. A precise and correct treatment of parton kinematics is provided. Modifications of the conventional formalism are required: ... More The Problem Of Scales: Renormalization and All ThatOct 11 1995Feb 12 2009I explain the methods that are used in field theory for problems involving typical momenta on two or more widely disparate scales. The principal topics are: (a) renormalization, which treats the problem of taking an ultra-violet cut-off to infinity, (b) ... More Polarized Beam JetsOct 10 1995Handedness and a left-right asymmetry have been proposed as methods of probing the polarization of hard jets. If the analyzing powers for these observables are substantial they would provide useful tools for probing polarized hard scattering. This paper ...

A derivation does not need to directly ... More QCD and DiffractionJun 12 2001I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work. Light-cone Variables, Rapidity and All ThatMay 22 1997I give a pedagogical summary of the methods of light-cone variables, rapidity and pseudo-rapidity. Then I show how these methods are useful in analyzing diffractive high-energy collisions. A New Statistical Parser Based on Bigram Lexical DependenciesMay 06 1996This paper describes a new statistical parser which is based on probabilities of dependencies between head-words in the parse tree. Standard bigram probability estimation techniques are extended to calculate probabilities of dependencies between pairs ... More Different approaches to TMD Evolution with scaleSep 18 2014Many apparently contradictory approaches to TMD factorization and its non-perturbative content exist.
