The N=1\mathcal{N}=1 algebra W∞[μ]\mathcal{W}_\infty[\mu] and its truncations

The main objective of this work is to construct and classify the most general classical and quantum $\mathcal{N}=1$ $\mathcal{W}_\infty$-algebras generated by the same spins as the singlet algebra of $N$ fermions and $N$ bosons in the vector representation of $O(N)$ in the $N\to\infty$ limit. This type of algebras appears in a recent $\mathcal{N}=1$ version of the minimal model holography. Our analysis strongly suggests that there is a one parameter family $\mathcal{W}_\infty[\mu]$ of such algebras at every given central charge. Relying on this assumption, we identify various truncations of $\mathcal{W}_\infty[\mu]$ with, on the one hand, (orbifolds of) the Drinfel'd-Sokolov reductions of the Lie superalgebras $B(n,n)$, $B(n-1,n)$, $D(n,n)$ and $D(n+1,n)$, and, on the other hand, (orbifolds of) three $\mathcal{N}=1$ cosets. After a closer inspection we show that these cosets can be realized as a Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of $B(n,n)$, $D(n,n)$ and $D(n+1,n)$. We then discuss the implications of our findings for the quantum version of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ minimal model holography.Comment: old section 5.4 removed, 46 page

The role of setting for ketamine abuse: clinical and preclinical evidence

Drug abuse is often seen as a unitary phenomenon, partly as a result of the discovery over the past three decades of shared mechanisms of action for addictive substances. Yet the pattern of drug taking is often very different from drug to drug. This is particularly evident in the case of 'club drugs', such as ketamine. Although the number of ketamine abusers is relatively small in the general population, it is quite substantial in some settings. In particular, ketamine abuse is almost exclusively limited to clubs and large music parties, which suggests a major role of context in modulating the reward effects of this drug. This review focuses on recent preclinical and clinical findings, including previously unpublished data, that provide evidence that, even under controlled conditions, ketamine reward is a function of the setting of drug taking

Diesseits von Golgatha. Zum Verständnis des Kreuzestodes Jesu als Sühnopfer

The understanding of Jesus’ death on the cross as a sacrifice of atonement is based on the multiple interpretations of Jesus’ death in the New Testament. The early Christian approaches to the interpretation of Jesus’ death as a sacrifice lead to far-reaching cultural and anthropological implications

L'utilisation des secours volontaires etdes hôpitaux civils par le Service de santé de guerre en Suisse

Pour la compréhension de l'exposé qui va suivre, énon-çons tout d'abord quelques remarques préliminaires. Les institutions démocratiques de la Suisse, sa population, composée de représentants de quatre langues, le manque de matières premières et la nécessité de nombreux échanges de marchandises avec l'étranger excluent l'institution d'une économie de guerre, qui priverait le pays, en temps de paix, d'une grande partie de ses ressources économiques et techniques. Les préparatifs pour la guerre, qui ne sont pas d'ordre exclusivement militaire, sont done, par là-même, fort restreint

Even spin minimal model holography

The even spin W^e_\infty algebra that is generated by the stress energy tensor together with one Virasoro primary field for every even spin s \geq 4 is analysed systematically by studying the constraints coming from the Jacobi identities. It is found that the algebra is characterised, in addition to the central charge, by one free parameter that can be identified with the self-coupling constant of the spin 4 field. We show that W^e_\infty can be thought of as the quantisation of the asymptotic symmetry algebra of the even higher spin theory on AdS_3. On the other hand, W^e_\infty is also quantum equivalent to the so(N) coset algebras, and thus our result establishes an important aspect of the even spin minimal model holography conjecture. The quantum equivalence holds actually at finite central charge, and hence opens the way towards understanding the duality beyond the leading 't Hooft limit.Comment: 32 pages, v2: reference added, minor changes in tex

Hymnus, Enkomion oder Psalm? Schattengefechte in der neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft

For much of the twentieth century scholars tried to reconstruct various cultic hymns beneath the surface of NT texts. With the rise of rhetorical criticism the focus of research has shifted to the properties of epideictic rhetoric. Exegetes, therefore, often tend to contrast ‘encomia' with ‘hymns' or ‘psalms'. To avoid any shadow boxing one has to consider which descriptive language would fit best the texts. A brief examination of ancient hymnic traditions and their treatment in rhetoric demonstrates that while encomia interact strongly with hymns each genre has its own characteristics; hymns, whether in poetry or prose, consist especially of praise of divinities and are addressed to divinities. Future formgeschichtliche analysis has to distinguish carefully between ‘hymn' (in a narrow sense), ‘hymnic praise' and ‘encomion' (which does not refer particularly to divine beings). In early Christian literature, as far as it relates to the textual surface, we find beside hymns to God only a few hymns directed to Christ. Nevertheless Christ's divine status is praised with rich hymnic rhetorical devices. This amazing tension corresponds exactly with what we call ‘Christological monotheism
