Adiabatic Pair Creation
We give here the proof that pair creation in a time dependent potentials is
possible. It happens with probability one if the potential changes
adiabatically in time and becomes overcritical, that is when an eigenvalue
enters the upper spectral continuum. The potential may be assumed to be zero at
large negative and positive times. The rigorous treatment of this effect has
been lacking since the pioneering work of Beck, Steinwedel and Suessmann in
1963 and Gershtein and Zeldovich in 1970.Comment: 53 pages, 1 figure. Editorial changes on page 22 f
Anomalous Creation of Branes
In certain circumstances when two branes pass through each other a third
brane is produced stretching between them. We explain this phenomenon by the
use of chains of dualities and the inflow of charge that is required for the
absence of chiral gauge anomalies when pairs of D-branes intersect.Comment: 7 pages, two figure
Noh Creation of Shakespeare
This article contains select comments and reviews on Noh Hamlet and Noh Othello in English and Noh King Lear in Japanese. The scripts from these performances were arranged based on Shakespeare’s originals and directed on stage and performed in English by Kuniyoshi Munakata from the early 1980s until 2014. Also, the whole text of Munakata’s Noh Macbeth in English (Munakata himself acted as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in one play) is for the first time publicized. The writers of the comments and reviews include notable people such as John Fraser, Michael Barrett, Upton Murakami, Donald Richie, Rick Ansorg, James David Audlin, Jesper Keller, Jean-Claude Saint-Marc, Jean-Claude Baumier, Judy Kendall, Allan Owen, Yoshio ARAI, Yasumasa OKAMOTO, Tatsuhiko TAIRA, Hikaru ENDO, Kazumi YAMAGATA, Hanako ENDO, Yoshiko KAWACHI, Mari Boyd, and Daniel Gallimore
Destructive Creation
"Destructive Creation" is the deliberate introduction of new, perhaps improved generations of durable goods that destroy, directly or indirectly, the usage value of units previously sold inducing consumers to repeat their purchase. This paper discusses this practice by a single seller in an infinite-horizon, discrete time model with heterogeneous consumers. Despite the lack of commitment power over future prices and introduction policies, this practice restores partially or totally market power even though consumers anticipate opportunistic behavior. However, the monopoly resorts "too much" to this mechanism from an ex-ante, profit maximizing perspective. High prices in earlier periods allow the seller to commit to defer innovation and therefore to maintain buyers' confidence over "durability". The paper characterizes the equilibrium properties of the resulting innovation cycles such as existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability and discusses potential regulatory remedies in those instances where destructive creation generates economic inefficiencies. This theory applies, among others, to markets characterized by network externalities, compatibility issues, standard setting, social consumption and signal provision and may help explain many restrictive aftermarket practices as well as excessive add-on pricing without relying on any leverage hypothesis.durable goods; aftermarkets; planned obsolescence;
The creation of God.
The book develops a scientific approach to the phenomenon of religion. It is the conviction of the author that such an approach can only be comparative in nature, in order to overcome centuries of religiously biased views on religion. In asecond hypothesis the primacy of action over language is argued for. To deevlop a more generic view on religion and escape 'religionism', the book looks at humans first nd foremost as acting subjects, with verbal actions as a subcategory. Finally fundamentalism is conceptualized within this framework
