    L'obliquità retorica cinese (e una possibilità per la retorica femminile occidentale?)

    No full text
    One of the specificities which distinguish Chinese culture from Western culture is the domain of an oblique, and not frontal, rhetoric, which is extended from philosophy to military and political strategy, but also to everyday language. Both the rhetoric ways have potential meaningful advantages (and disadvantages). The Chinese obliquity, on which we shall focus, can also make us start to reflect on an analogy (which can be meaningful especially now) with the Western female rhetoric

    Modular transformations and one-polygon tessellation

    No full text
    In (2 + 1) gravity, the time evolution of a universe with the spatial topology of a torus can be described by means of a one-polygon tessellation with 3-valent vertices. The action of modular transformations on this solution is considered; it is shown that the corresponding orbit is densely distributed inside the entire phase space of the model

    Statistical properties of classical gravitating particles in (2+1) dimensions

    We report the statistical properties of classical particles in (2 + 1) gravity as resulting from numerical simulations. Only particle momenta have been taken into account. In the range of total momentum where thermal equilibrium is reached, the distribution function and the corresponding Boltzmann entropy are computed. In the presence of large gravity effects, different extensions of the temperature turn out to be inequivalent, the distribution function has a power law high-energy tail and the entropy as a function of the internal energy presents one inflection point. When the energy approaches the open universe limit, the entropy and the mean value of the particle kinetic energy seem to diverge
