    We give a proof of the Poincar\'e-Siegel Theorem for the polynomial mappings of constant Jacobian determinant. Our main results give quantitative information about the conjugacy function that cannot be derived from the general Poincar\'e-Siegel Theorem

    Massekhet Keritot. Text, Translation and Commentary. A Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud

    No full text
    The tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical, philological and philosophical investigation on these gender issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of sexual behavior

    Incentive ratio: a game theoretical analysis of market equilibria

    No full text
    In a Fisher market, the market maker sells m products to n potential agents. The agents submit their utility functions and money endowments to the market maker, who, upon receiving submitted information, derives market equilibrium prices and allocations of the products. Agents are self-interested entities who wish to maximize their utility, and they may misreport their private information for this purpose. The incentive ratio characterizes the extent to which strategic plays can increase an agent's utility. While agents do benefit by misreporting their private information, we show that the ratio of improvement by a unilateral strategic play is no more than two in markets with gross substitute utilities for the agents. Moreover, it can be pinned down to e 1/e≈1.445 in Cobb-Douglas markets. For the Leontief markets in which products are complementary, we show that the incentive ratio is at most two as well

    Little Bo-Peep

    Here is another Donohue surprise-a book, like Jack and Jill (1895?) that contains only the title-story and fables. This book has the same cover border, the same back cover, and the same Mother Goose endpapers as that book. Its selection of fables surprises me because it seems to complement carefully the selection of fables there. Though they seem to draw on the same sources (see my comments there), there are no repeaters here. After Little Bo-Peep there are four fables, three of which (The Larks and the Farmer, FS, and BW) identify their texts as by Clara Doty Bates. The fourth, TH, has illustrations by Childe Hassam. The first fable is curious for presenting first a full-page illustration by one hand, titled The Larks and the Farmers. Then come five pages with the title The Larks and the Farmer and illustrations by a different hand. Other than Bates and Hassam, I cannot identify the author and artists. There is some material missing at the end, including the finish of BW and one of the endpapers. This book has no spine left. All its pages are separated. Still, I was lucky to get it at this price!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clara Doty Bates et a
