The despotic imperative: From Hiero to the circle

(Routledge Journals, 2017)
The article undertakes an allegorical double reading of Being There and Trump as instances of what we call socio-fiction. Crucially in this respect, reality and fiction are not two opposed realms. The two realms always ...
Self-duality in higher dimensions
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Let w be a 2-form on a 2n dimensional manifold. In previous work, we called w "strong self-dual, if the eigenvalues of its matrix with respect to an orthonormal frame are equal in absolute value. In a series of papers, we ...
A mathematical characterization of the gel point in sol-gel transition
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)
We model the sol-gel transition in terms of Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) models and compare with experimental results. We show, numerically, that the "gel point" described ...

Maximal linear subspaces of strong self-dual 2-forms and the Bonan 4-form
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2011)
The notion of self-duality of 2-forms in 4-dimensions plays an eminent role in many areas of mathematics and physics, but although the 2-forms have a genuine meaning related to curvature and gauge-field-strength in higher ...
Determining the critical point of a sigmoidal curve via its fourier transform
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016)
A sigmoidal curve y(t) is a monotone increasing curve such that all derivatives vanish at infinity. Let tn be the point where the nth derivative of y(t) reaches its global extremum. In the previous work on sol-gel transition ...
Will peace flourish in the end? The history of suffering: Terrorism in Turkey

For the past 30 years, the PKK has launched a campaign of terror in Turkey. Despite the rise and fall of attacks throughout the years, the PKK's terrorist activities have never completely ended. Through the recent initiative ...
