The paper “Partial deconfinement: a brief overview“, co-authored by Masanori Hanada and Hiromasa Watanabe (Kyoto University) has been published in the Special Topics section of the European Physical Journal. The confinement/deconfinement transition in gauge theory plays important roles in physics, including the description of thermal phase transitions in the dual gravitational theory. Partial deconfinement implies […]

The article “How mathematics can help the BBC with impartial reporting“, by Dorje Brody, has been published today (Wednesday 9 November) in “The Conversation“. The article shows how mathematics, in the form of information theory, can be a guide in assessing impartiality. According to information theory, impartiality can be measured by a metric called mutual […]
