Theorizing ideas and discourse in political science: intersubjectivity, neo-institutionalisms, and the power of ideas
Oscar Larssonâs (2015) essay condemns discursive institutionalism for the âsinâ of subjectivism. In reality, however, discursive institutionalism emphasizes the intersubjective nature of ideas through its theorization of agentsâ âbackground ideational abilitiesâ and âforeground discursive abilities.â It also avoids relativism by means of Wittgensteinâs distinction between experiences of everyday life and pictures of the world. Contrary to Larsson, what truly separates post-structuralism from discursive institutionalism is the respective approachesâ theorization of the relationship of power to ideas, with discursive institutionalists mainly focused on persuasive power through ideas, while post-structuralists focus on the structural power in ideas or on coercive power over ideas
Diophantine approximation on Veech surfaces
We show that Y. Cheung's general -continued fractions can be adapted to
give approximation by saddle connection vectors for any compact translation
surface. That is, we show the finiteness of his Minkowski constant for any
compact translation surface. Furthermore, we show that for a Veech surface in
standard form, each component of any saddle connection vector dominates its
conjugates. The saddle connection continued fractions then allow one to
recognize certain transcendental directions by their developments

A model for orientation effects in electronâtransfer reactions
A method for solving the singleâparticle Schrödinger equation with an oblate spheroidal potential of finite depth is presented. The wave functions are then used to calculate the matrix element T_BA which appears in theories of nonadiabatic electron transfer. The results illustrate the effects of mutual orientation and separation of the two centers on TBA. Trends in these results are discussed in terms of geometrical and nodal structure effects. Analytical expressions related to T_BA for states of spherical wells are presented and used to analyze the nodal structure effects for T_BA for the spheroidal wells
