Plato’s Gorgius: an attempt to an axiological commentary
No full textIn his new paper Sergey S. Avanesov (Tomsk State University) analyses the concepts of ‘intermediate’ being, ‘preference’ and the hierarchy of values developed in Plato’s dialogue against the background of Classical moral philosophy. This study of Ancient axiology continues a previous article by the same author, also published in this journal (vol. I, issue 2)
Sergey Chekhonin: The Sickle and The Hammer or The Monster Cockroach (Tarakanishche)
No full textThe article was submitted on 04.09.2015.Translated by Anna Dergacheva.A number of Soviet artists were working in 1918 on the emblem of the RSFSR that became four years later the basis for the Soviet coat of arms. Sergey Vasilievich Chekhonin was the one who gave the coat of arms and the flag of the newlyborn Russian Federation their final form. The symbol, expressive and stripped of the macabre meaning of the reality behind it, found an impeccable composition
and form by virtue of one of the most virtuous and talented Russian graphics. Chekhonin’s artistic heritage has not been studied enough. The author of the article, based upon study of bibliographic rarities, illustrated and designed by Chekhonin, addresses the most important pages of the master’s creative work, studying as well the publications of the late 1910s–1920s, and diaries of that time.
Chekhonin’s enthusiasm and keenness in cooperating with the new authority, and working on Soviet emblems, bewildered his fans. The article examines Chekhonin’s attitude to contemporary events in the aspect of the topic “Mir iskusstva” and the Revolution. Members of Mir iskusstva community, having sympathetically met the overthrow of the autocracy, ever since the October Revolution were ready
to take an active part in the work on the protection of architectural monuments and museum treasures, on improving artistic pedagogy, publishing and theater business. However, their enthusiasm soon gave way to a feeling of anxiety and frustration. In the mid-1920s, many of Mir iskusstva members found themselves abroad. Chekhonin was no exception. The artist developed critical and skeptical mood, most fully manifested in his illustrations to The Monster Cockroach, a famous fable in verse by Korney Chukovsky. Analyzing the text of The Cockroach and comparing it with other fables by Chukovsky, as well as with the diary entries of the writer, the author of the article argues that The Cockroach was not addressed exclusively to children. It is not by chance that the image of a ‘monster cockroach’ also appeared in the ominous poem by Osip Mandelstam (Tarakan’i smeyutsya glazishcha i sverkayut yego golenishcha… (“The Cockroach’s eyes are laughing, and the shafts of his boots are shining...”)); further on, in the famous play by Evgeny Shvarts, the Cockroach grew to the size of a giant dragon. Chekhonin undoubtedly caught an adult intonation of Chukovsky’s fables; his illustrations to it became a kind of an alternative to the official Soviet heraldry created by him.Над созданием в 1918 г. эмблемы РСФСР, ставшей четыре года спустя основой герба Советского Союза, работало несколько художников. Но законченный вид гербу и флагу Российской Федерации придал Сергей Васильевич Чехонин. Благодаря таланту едва ли не самого виртуозного из русских графиков емкий по смыслу и, конечно, неповинный в оказавшихся за ним жизненных реалиях символ нашел совершенную композиционную форму. Наследие Чехонина недостаточно исследовано. Автор настоящей статьи, основанной на изучении ставших библиографической редкостью изданий, иллюстрированных и оформленных Чехониным, на публикациях конца 1910–1920-х гг., на дневниках того времени, обращается к важнейшим страницам творчества мастера. Поклонников таланта Чехонина удивило, с каким энтузиазмом и увлеченностью он начал сотрудничать с новой властью, работать над советской эмблематикой. В статье отношение Чехонина к современным событиям рассматривается в русле темы «”Мир искусства” и революция». Сочувственно встретив свержение самодержавия, «мирискусники» готовы были и после Октябрьского переворота принимать активное участие в работе по охране архитектурных памятников и музейных сокровищ, по совершенствованию художественной педагогики, издательского и театрального
дела. Однако вскоре энтузиазм сменился чувством тревоги и неудовлетворенности. В середине 1920-х гг. многие из «мирискусников» оказались за пределами Советского Союза. Не составил исключения и Чехонин. У художника нарастали критические и скептические настроения, наиболее полно проявившиеся в иллюстрациях к сказке Корнея Чуковского «Тараканище». Анализируя текст «Тараканища», сопоставляя его с другими сказками Чуковского, с дневниковыми записями писателя, автор статьи убеждает, что «Тараканище» адресован не только детям. Не случайно образ «Тараканища» в 1930-е гг. возник в роковом стихотворении Осипа Мандельштама («Тараканьи смеются глазища и сверкают его голенища…»), а в известной пьесе Евгения Шварца он вырос до размеров гигантского дракона. Чехонин, несомненно, уловил недетскую интонацию сказки Чуковского: его иллюстрации к ней стали своего рода альтернативой созданной им советской геральдики.This article was prepared with the support of RGNF, project no. 15-04-00458

Tautological relations and integrable systems
No full textWe present a family of conjectural relations in the tautological cohomologyof the moduli spaces of stable algebraic curves of genus with markedpoints. A large part of these relations has a surprisingly simple form: thetautological classes involved in the relations are given by stable graphs thatare trees and that are decorated only by powers of the psi-classes athalf-edges. We show that the proposed conjectural relations imply certainfundamental properties of the Dubrovin-Zhang (DZ) and the double ramification(DR) hierarchies associated to F-cohomological field theories. Our relationsnaturally extend a similar system of conjectural relations, which were proposedin an earlier work of the first author together with Gu\'er\'e and Rossi andwhich are responsible for the normal Miura equivalence of the DZ and the DRhierarchy associated to an arbitrary cohomological field theory. Finally, weprove all the above mentioned relations in the case and arbitrary using a variation of the method from a paper by Liu and Pandharipande, this canbe of independent interest. In particular, this proves the main conjecture fromour previous joined work together with Hern\'andez Iglesias. We also prove allthe above mentioned relations in the case and arbitrary .Comment: v3: final journal version, 44 page
On the analysis of the tin-inside-H3S Mössbauer experiment
No full textA simple analysis is presented of the particular experiment used to prove the bulk nature of very-high-Tc superconductivity in H3S compound under ultra-high pressure. In the experiment, an internal magnetic field was sensed by the synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy in tin placed inside the H3S sample. The experiment showed peculiar anisotropy with respect to the direction of the applied field at first sight. By considering actual experimental geometries and parameters of the experiment, we show that this particular observation is consistent with the expectations for a regular type-II superconductor with Meissner expulsion and pinning.This is a manuscript of an article published as Prozorov, Ruslan, and Sergey L. Bud’ko. "On the analysis of the tin-inside-H3S Mössbauer experiment." Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism 35, no. 10 (2022): 2615-2619.
