Mayle v. Felix
Following his murder conviction, Felix filed a pro se habeas petition alleging Sixth Amendment violations at trial The petition was filed within the one-year Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act deadline. He was later appointed counsel, who filed an amended petition alleging Fifth Amendment violations; but that petition was filed five months after the AEDPA deadline had passed. The Court held that the amended petition was not saved by the Relation Back doctrine because it did not share with the earlier claims a common core of operative facts

Generic gauge fields in the Hubbard model: emergence of pairing interaction
The spin-rotationally invariant SU(2) approach to the Hubbard model is
extended to accommodate the charge degrees of freedom. Both U(1) and SU(2)
gauge transformation are useed to factorize the charge and spin contribution to
the original electron operator in terms of the emergent gauge fields. It is
shown that these fields play a similar role as phonons in the BCS theory: they
provide the "glue" for fermion pairing. By tracing out gauge bosons the form of
paired states is established and the role of antiferromagnetic correlations is
explicated.Comment: 4+ page
No Harm Done? An Experimental Approach to the Nonidentity Problem
Discussions of the non-identity problem presuppose a widely shared intuition that actions or policies that change who comes into existence don't, thereby, become morally unproblematic. We hypothesize that this intuition isn’t generally shared by the public, which could have widespread implications concerning how to generate support for large-scale, identity-affecting policies relating to matters like climate change. To test this, we ran a version of the well-known dictator game designed to mimic the public's behavior over identity-affecting choices. We found the public does seem to behave more selfishly when making identity-affecting choices, which should be concerning. We further hypothesized that one possible mechanism is the notion of harm the public uses in their decision-making and find that substantial portions of the population seem to each employ distinct notions of harm in their normative thinking. These findings raise puzzling features about the public’s normative thinking that call out for further empirical examination
When Rational Reasoners Reason Differently
Different people reason differently, which means that sometimes they reach different conclusions from the same evidence. We maintain that this is not only natural, but rational. In this essay we explore the epistemology of that state of affairs. First we will canvass arguments for and against the claim that rational methods of reasoning must always reach the same conclusions from the same evidence. Then we will consider whether the acknowledgment that people have divergent rational reasoning methods should undermine one’s confidence in one’s own reasoning. Finally we will explore how agents who employ distinct yet equally rational methods of reasoning should respond to interactions with the products of each others’ reasoning. We find that the epistemology of multiple reasoning methods has been misunderstood by a number of authors writing on epistemic permissiveness and peer disagreement
Excitonic phase transition in the extended three-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model
We study the excitonic phase transition in a system of the conduction band
electrons and valence band holes described by the three-dimensional (3D)
extended Falicov-Kimball (EFKM) model with the tunable Coulomb interaction
between both species. By lowering the temperature, the electron-hole system may
become unstable with respect to the formation of the excitons, i.e,
electron-hole pairs at temperature , exhibiting a gap in
the particle excitation spectrum. To this end we implement the functional
integral formulation of the EFKM, where the Coulomb interaction term is
expressed in terms of U(1) phase variables conjugate to the local particle
number, providing a useful representation of strongly correlated system. The
effective action formalism allows us to formulate a problem in the phase-only
action in the form of the quantum rotor model and to obtain analytical formula
for the critical lines and other quantities of physical interest like charge
gap, chemical potential and the correlation length.Comment: 27 pages, 15 figures (in the arXive version), 37 pages and 15 figures
