Szafa marzeń. Dziecięce kryjówki w E.T. Stevena Spielberga
No full textThe filmmakers made efforts to present reality from a child’s viewpoint. Among the strategies applied for this purpose, we find a detailed approach to grasping the atmosphere of children’s bedrooms. The wardrobe, intimate lighting, cozy nooks and child’s props allow the creation of a space of autonomy and the uncanny effect, which slips away from adults’ perception. The author uses works on the anthropology of place, the psychoanalysis of dreams, film studies analyses of E.T. and also the history of cinematic representation of children’s worlds in order to describe the specificity of domestic space in Spielberg’s movie. At the same time, the author proposes that E.T. can be interpreted as a movie about the relative independence of children’s worlds in relation to the overpowering and stiflingAmerican suburbs. If we follow the proposed interpretation, then the popular judgment of E.T. as a conservative and family narration from Reagan’s days would seem to be too one-sided.The filmmakers made efforts to present reality from a child’s viewpoint.

Integrability properties of Motzkin polynomials
No full text© 2020 Author(s). We consider a Hamiltonian system that has its origin in a generalization of the exact renormalization group flow of matrix scalar field theory and describes a non-linear generalization of the shock-wave equation that is known to be integrable. Analyzing conserved currents of the system, this paper shows that these follow a nice pattern governed by coefficients of Motzkin polynomials, where each integral of motion corresponds to a path on a unit lattice
Current issues of protecting the rights and interests of subjects in the field of sports
No full textThis article considers the issues of improving norms regulating the relations connected with the status of fans of sports. The article includes suggestions and recommendations on introducing changes and amendments to the norms regulating the rights of sports fans based on the analysis of foreign experience and national legislation
Non-abelian tri-vector deformations in d = 11 supergravity
No full text© 2020, The Author(s). A truncation of the SL(5) Exceptional Field Theory that allows to describe spacetimes of the form M4 × M7 with the 4-form flux on M4 is constructed. The resulting theory is used to test the recently proposed tri-vector generalisation of Yang-Baxter deformations applied to the AdS4 × S7 solution of d = 11 supergravity. We present two new supergravity solutions corresponding to non-abelian non-unimodular tri-vector deformations of AdS4 × S7
Polyvector deformations in eleven-dimensional supergravity
No full textWe consider 3- and 6-vector deformations of 11-dimensional supergravity backgrounds of the form M5×M6 admitting at least three Killing vectors. Using flux formulation of the E6(6) exceptional field theory, we derive (sufficient) conditions for the deformations to generate a solution. In the group manifold case, these generalizations of the classical Yang-Baxter equation for the case of r-matrices with three and six indices are shown to reproduce those obtained from exceptional Drinfeld algebra for E6(6). In general, we see an additional constraint, which might be related to higher exceptional Drinfeld algebras
