SFI External Professor Raissa D’Souza (UC Davis) has been elected as a 2024 Fellow at the American Association for the ...

In many careers, a person must learn foundational skills before advancing deeper into their profession. Computer programmers need a solid foundation in basic mathematics; nurses must gain clinical ...

For more than 100 years, electric companies in the U.S. have maintained the same basic business model, carefully fine-tuned to sometimes conflicting local, state, and federal regulation. But over the ...

Quantum chaotic systems are conjectured to display a spectrum whose fine-grained features (gaps and correlations) are well described by random matrix theory (RMT). We propose and develop a ...

It is shown that the distribution of word frequencies for randomly generated texts is very similar to Zipf's law observed in natural languages such as English. The facts that the frequency of ...

Fuentes, M. A.,Lavin, C.,Contreras-Huerta, L. S.,Miguel, H.,Jubal, E. R. Learning under uncertainty is a common task that people face in their daily life. This ...

The rise of complexity theory, an interdisciplinary field studying the emergent behavior and patterns of the interactions of simple (and not so simple) components, has been one of the most important ...

We survey archaeological evidence suggesting that among hunter-gatherers and farmers in Neolithic western Eurasia (11,700 to 5,300 years ago) elevated levels of wealth inequality occurred but were ...

We study the angular diffusion in a classical ?−dimensional inertial XY model with interactions decaying with the distance between spins as ?−?, with ?⩾0. After a very short-time ballistic regime, ...

We study the consequences of having a new interaction between neutrinos and a Higgs scalar. We find that there are two possible attractive channels in the resulting effective 4-fermi theory which lead ...

Elections for public offices in democratic nations are large-scale examples of collective decision making. As a complex system with a multitude of interactions among agents, we can anticipate that ...
