DOI: 10.1007/s00220-022-04312-1
Abstract: Using the weak convergence approach to large deviations, we formulate and prove the large deviation principle (LDP) for W-random graphs in the cut-norm topology. This generalizes the LDP for Erdős-R{\' e}nyi random graphs by Chatterjee… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10670-019-00154-x
Abstract: In recent work Bruno Whittle has presented a new challenge to the Cantorian idea that there are different infinite cardinalities. Most challenges of this kind have tended to focus on the status of the axioms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10670-021-00457-y
Abstract: The Precautionary Principle is typically construed as a conservative decision rule aimed at preventing harm. But Martin Peterson (JME 33: 5–10, 2007; The ethics of technology: A geometric analysis of five moral principles, Oxford University… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10784-020-09515-2
Abstract: The principle of ‘no significant harm’ as a way of addressing transboundary environmental challenges is both inadequately researched and inadequately implemented in many parts of the world. This paper addresses the questions: What is the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10838-019-09488-0
Abstract: The principle of indifference has fallen from grace in contemporary philosophy, yet some papers have recently sought to vindicate its plausibility. This paper follows suit. In it, I articulate a version of the principle and… read more here.

Psychophysiological approach to the Liar paradox: Jean Buridan’s virtual entailment principle put to the test

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-019-02107-x
Abstract: This article presents an empirical examination of the consequences of the virtual entailment principle proposed by Jean Buridan to resolve the Liar paradox. This principle states that every sentence in natural language implicitly asserts its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11229-020-02730-z
Abstract: Since the early days of economics, the rationality principle has been a core element of economic theorizing. It is part of almost any theoretical framework that economists use to generate knowledge. Despite its central role,… read more here.

Peer Disagreement and the Bridge Principle

DOI: 10.1007/s11245-018-9595-8
Abstract: One explanation of rational peer disagreement is that agents find themselves in an epistemically permissive situation. In fact, some authors have suggested that, while evidence could be impermissive at the intrapersonal level, it is permissive… read more here.

Curie’s Symmetry Principle for Selection Rule of Photonic Crystal Defect Modes

DOI: 10.1007/s11468-017-0523-3
Abstract: Symmetry, which defines invariant properties under a group of transformations, provides a frame of generalization uncovering regularities from given quantitative descriptions. Based on the Curie’s symmetry principle, connecting between causality and symmetry, we formulate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11569-020-00373-5
Abstract: The precautionary principle has often been described as an extreme principle that neglects science and stifles innovation. However, such an interpretation has no support in the official definitions of the principle that have been adopted… read more here.

Abstract: In this article we study the Arnold conjecture in settings where objects under consideration are no longer smooth but only continuous. The example of a Hamiltonian homeomorphism, on any closed sym-plectic manifold of dimension greater… read more here.
