Using the relativistic concept of time dilation we show that a superposition
of gravitational potentials can lead to nonunitary time evolution. For
sufficiently weak gravitational potentials one can still define, for all
intents and purpose...

We present a collection of results on (weak) m-extremals and m-geodesics,
concerning general properties, the planar case, quasi-balanced pseudoconvex
domains, complex ellipsoids, the Euclidean ball and boundary properties. We

A primitive multiple curve is a Cohen-Macaulay irreducible projective curve
Y that can be locally embedded in a smooth surface, and such that C=Yred
is smooth. In this case, L=IC/IC2 is a line bundle
on C...

Let G and H be two groups acting on path connected topological spaces X
and Y respectively. Assume that H is finite of order m and the quotient
maps p:X→X/G and q:Y→Y/H are regular coverings. Then it is well-known
that...

It is known that the simple slice sampler has robust convergence properties,
however the class of problems where it can be implemented is limited. In
contrast, we consider hybrid slice samplers which are easily implementable and
where anoth...
