Lie point symmetries and the geodesic approximation for the Schr\"odinger-Newton equations
We consider two problems arising in the study of the Schr\"odinger-Newton
equations. The first is to find their Lie point symmetries. The second, as an
application of the first, is to investigate an approximate solution
corresponding to widely separated lumps of probability. The lumps are found to
move like point particles under a mutual inverse-square law of attraction
The Green, Green Grass of Home: an archaeo-ecological approach to pastoralist settlement in central Kenya
© 2016 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper considers the ecological residues of pastoralist occupation at the site of Maili Sita in Laikipia, central Kenya, drawing links with the archaeological record so as to contribute a fresh approach to the ephemeral settlement sites of mobile herding communities, a methodological aspect of African archaeology that remains problematic. Variations in the geochemical and micromorphological composition of soils along transects across the site are compared with vegetation distributions and satellite imagery to propose an occupation pattern not dissimilar to contemporary Cushitic-speaking groups further north. We argue that Maili Sita exemplifies the broad migratory and cultural exchange networks in place during the mid- to late second millennium AD, with pastoralist occupants who were both physically and culturally mobile.British Academy (2002-5 Funding)
