No full textApart from being an exceptionally intelligent writer, religious scholar Reza Aslan is quickly gaining a reputation for being one of the most patient men on television.More than once, he has painstakingly explained to TV hosts that their less-than-sophisticated stands on Islam may be founded on flimsy and dangerous assumptions.

Touching on a range of topics from identity to ISIS, Aslan argued that no religion exists in a vacuum.

Pseudoholomorphic quilts and Khovanov homology:
No full textWe generalize the symplectically-defined link homology theory developed by Paul Seidel and Ivan Smith to an invariant of tangles. We obtain a group-valued invariant, a functor-valued (or symplectic-valued functor) invariant and an ay functor-valued one for tangles. We provide evidence for the equivalence of this invariant with Khovanov's combinatorially defined invariant by showing the equivalence for flat (crossingless) tangles and their cobordisms. We also obtain an exact triangle for the Seidel-Smith invariant similar to that of Khovanov.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 91-93)by Reza Rezazadega
