This thesis intends to analyse the notions of transcendental deduction and basic norm, presented in the works of Kant and Kelsen, respectively. These concepts are used by the authors quoted as a form to legitimize the ...

We give a simple geometric characterization of isospectral orbifolds covered by spheres, complex projective spaces and the quaternion projective line having cyclic fundamental group. The differential operators considered ...

This article assesses the BRICS’ position on the emerging global norm of the Responsibility to Protect, analyses the year 2011, when all the BRICS occupied a seat on the UN Security Council, and asks how the rise of the ...

In this paper I analyze Bulygin’s conception of those legal statements asserting that a certain action is legally obligatory, prohibited or permitted. According to Bulygin these statements are ambiguous. On the one hand, ...

In this paper we introduce the q-potential as an extension of the Benedetto–Fickus frame potential, defined on general reconstruction systems and show that protocols are the minimizers of this potential under certain ...

The aim of this paper is to give an estimate for the squared norm S of the second fundamental form A of a compact minimal hypersurface Mn⊂Sn+1 in terms of the gap n−λ1 , where λ1 stands for the first eigenvalue of the ...
