Abstract: We address here the question of the bi-Lipschitz local triviality of a complex polynomial function over a complex value. Our main result states that a non constant complex polynomial admits a locally bi-Lipschitz trivial value… read more here.

Abstract: Opponents of the computational theory of mind (CTM) have held that the theory is devoid of explanatory content, since whatever computational procedures are said to account for our cognitive attributes will also be realized by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11050-019-09153-8
Abstract: Why do predicates like know embed both declarative and interrogative clauses, whereas closely related ones like believe only embed the former? The standard approach following Grimshaw (Linguist Inq 10:279–326, 1979) to this issue has been… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A trivalent theory of indicative conditionals automatically enforces Stalnaker's thesis – the equation between probabilities of conditionals and conditional probabilities. This result holds because the trivalent semantics requires, for principled reasons, a modification of… read more here.
