Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

around the world, in the Information Age. Since a trend common to many of these transformations refers to the prevalence of information networking as the organizational form of dominant activities, I will then de ne information networks, and elaborate on the implications of networking in social
Behavioral conformity in games with many players
- Game. Econ. Behav. 2007
"... Abstract In the literature of psychology and economics it is frequently observed that individuals tend to conform in their behavior to that of similar individuals. A fundamental question is whether the outcome of such conformity can be consistent with self-interest. We propose that this consistency ..."

on attributes is necessary. In particular, we require that players with close attributes are similar. It would appear that a simple redefinition of an attribute would solve the observed problem with conformity in Example 2; for example, we could state that there are two attributes to represent those who like
22.10.2009 Implementation of a Peer-to-Peer Multiplayer Game with Realtime Requirements
"... Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) have become increasingly popular in the recent years, particularly in the form of online role-playing games (MMORPGs). These games support up to several ten thousand players interacting in a virtual game world. The current commercially successful games are ..."

are client-server based, which is feasible for relatively slow role-playing games. Those have modest bandwidth and latency requirements and are paid for by their customers. For MMOGs with higher realtime requirements and/or a smaller number of customers willing to pay, peer-to-peer networking seems to be a
CrasyDSE: A framework for solving Dyson-Schwinger equations
"... Dyson-Schwinger equations are important tools for non-perturbative analyses of quantum field theories. For example, they are very useful for investigations in quan-tum chromodynamics and related theories. However, sometimes progress is impeded by the complexity of the equations. Thus automatizing pa ..."

. Our code can serve as a basis for many further investigations where the equations are too complicated to tackle by hand. It also can easily be combined with DoFun, a program for the derivation of Dyson-Schwinger equations.1
Working Paper No. 2 Cost of Capital Effects and Changes in Growth Expectations around U.S. Cross-Listings
, 2006
"... This paper examines whether cross-listing in the U.S. reduces foreign firms ’ cost of capital. While prior studies document that U.S. cross-listings are associated with substantial increases in firm value, the sources of these valuation effects are not well understood. We estimate the cost of capita ..."

of capital effects implied by market prices and analyst forecasts, which allows us to explicitly account for changes in growth expectations around cross-listings. We find strong evidence that firms with cross-listings on U.S. exchanges experience a decrease in their cost of capital, which is economically
UNITU-THEP-2/1998 FAU-TP3-98/1 Solving the Gluon Dyson–Schwinger Equation in the Mandelstam Approximation
, 1998
"... Truncated Dyson–Schwinger equations represent finite subsets of the equations of motion for Green’s functions. Solutions to these non–linear integral equations can account for non–perturbative correlations. We describe the solution to the Dyson– Schwinger equation for the gluon propagator of Landau ..."

He introduced me to the problem of query enumeration and encouraged me to look for the answers to all the questions that emerged during our collaboration. He was a truly great advisor, always supportive and available for dis ..."

Collapsing three-manifolds under a lower curvature bound
- J. Differential Geom
"... Abstract The purpose of this paper is to completely characterize the topology of threedimensional Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower bound of sectional curvature which converges to a metric space of lower dimension. Introduction We study the topology of three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds ..."
