On the Speed of Gravity and the Corrections to the Shapiro Time Delay
Using a relatively simple method, I compute the v/c correction to the
gravitational time delay for light passing by a massive object moving with
speed v. It turns out that the v/c effects are too small to have been measured
in the recent experiment involving Jupiter and quasar J0842+1845 that was used
to measure the speed of gravity.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX (or Latex, etc), one figure, which is also available

The Standard Model in Its Other Phase
The standard model of particle physics is analyzed for the case of a Higgs
potential not favoring spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking to gain
insight into the physics of the standard model. Electroweak breaking still
takes place, and quarks and leptons still acquire masses but through bosonic
technicolor. This ``other'' phase of the standard model exhibits interesting
phenomena.Comment: Latex, 22 pages, 2 figure

Selling the Fourth Revolution: The Correlation between C-Suite Architecture and a Big Data Mindset as Portrayed in the Letter to the Shareholders
Big data’s diverse applications for the modern data deluge span problems and industries. While offering titular possibilities, is big data an area of serious corporate inquiry or is it a source of hype?
This research seeks to add to the growing body of management literature on big data. C-suite architecture additions of a CIO and/or a CTO demonstrate an environment for and increased BDA mindset. A review of the annual letter to the shareholder is a proxy for the external narrative of a big data strategy.
To measure correlation between C-suite structure and outward narrative, a regression for eight industries, from 2011 to 2014, measure correlation between external and organizational positioning. Additional regressions examine industry-sensitivity and leader-laggard dynamics. Five of the eight industries demonstrate correlation between architectural repositioning and perceived investor support for big data, indicating that big data intensive C-suite architecture correlates with letter to the shareholder big data emphasis
The Earliest Phase Transition?
The question of a phase transition in exiting the Planck epoch of the early
universe is addressed. An order parameter is proposed to help decide the issue,
and estimates are made concerning its behavior. Our analysis is suggestive that
a phase transition occurred.Comment: Latex, 10 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Nucl. Phys.
Electromagnetic and Weak Moments of the Tau-Lepton
The electromagnetic and weak dipole moments of the Tau-lepton have been
measured by experiments at e+e- colliders. Data samples of e+e- --> tau+tau-,
e+e- --> tau+tau- gamma and e+e- --> e+e-tau+tau- events collected at
centre-of-mass energies between 10 and 200 GeV are used. No deviation from the
Standard Model is found. Limits on the moments are summarised from the most
recent results.Comment: 6 pages (Latex), 5 figures (postscript
The Lense--Thirring Effect and Mach's Principle
We respond to a recent paper by Rindler on the ``Anti--Machian'' nature of
the Lense--Thirring effect. We remark that his conclusion depends crucially on
the particular formulation of Mach's principle used.Comment: 13 pages, Latex file, no figure
The Goldstino Field in Linear and Nonlinear Realizations of Supersymmetry
A Goldstino field in the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry is
constructed from an appropriate chiral super-multiplet of the linear theory, in
general O'Raifeataigh-like models. The linear theories can thus be reformulated
into their nonlinear versions, via the standard procedure. The Goldstino field
disappears totally from the original Lagrangian in the process, but reemerges
in the Jacobian of the transformation and covariant derivatives. Vertices with
Goldstino fields carry at least one space-time derivative, as one would have
expected.Comment: 7+1 pages, Late
Natural Entropy Production in an Inflationary Model for a Polarized Vacuum
Though entropy production is forbidden in standard FRW Cosmology, Berman and
Som presented a simple inflationary model where entropy production by bulk
viscosity, during standard inflation without ad hoc pressure terms can be
accommodated with Robertson-Walker's metric, so the requirement that the early
Universe be anisotropic is not essential in order to have entropy growth during
inflationary phase, as we show. Entropy also grows due to shear viscosity, for
the anisotropic case. The intrinsically inflationary metric that we propose can
be thought of as defining a polarized vacuum, and leads directly to the desired
effects without the need of introducing extra pressure terms.Comment: 7 pages including front one. Accepted to publication, Astrophysics
