Free fermion six vertex model: symmetric functions and random domino tilings
Our work deals with symmetric rational functions and probabilistic models based on the fully inhomogeneous six vertex (ice type) model satisfying the free fermion condition. Two families of symmetric rational ...

Open AccessDevelopment of a novel method to measure bone marrow fat fraction in older women using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) has been implicated in a number of conditions associated with bone deterioration and osteoporosis. Several studies have found an inverse relationship between BMAT and bone min...

Open AccessDeceptive Appearances: the Turing Test, Response-Dependence, and Intelligence as an Emotional Concept
The Turing Test is routinely understood as a behaviourist test for machine intelligence. Diane Proudfoot (Rethinking Turing’s Test, Journal of Philosophy, 2013) has argued for an alternative interpretation. Accor...

Modified Macdonald Polynomials and Integrability
We derive combinatorial formulae for the modified Macdonald polynomial \(H_{\lambda }(x;q,t)\)Hλ(x;q,t) using coloured paths on a square lattice with quasi-cylindrical boundary conditions. The derivation is based...

The Revolution will not be Optimised: Radical Enactivism, Extended Functionalism and the Extensive Mind
Optimising the 4E (embodied–embedded–extended–enactive) revolution in cognitive science arguably requires the rejection of two guiding commitments made by orthodox thinking in the field, namely that the materi...

A New Generalisation of Macdonald Polynomials
We introduce a new family of symmetric multivariate polynomials, whose coefficients are meromorphic functions of two parameters (q, t) and polynomial in a further two parameters (u, v). We evaluate these polynomi...

A Summation Formula for Macdonald Polynomials
We derive an explicit sum formula for symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Our expression contains multiple sums over the symmetric group and uses the action of Hecke generators on the ring of polynomials. In the ...

The Rest is Science: What Does Phenomenology Tell Us About Cognition?
Let me put up my hand straight away: I am a naturalist about cognition. What does this mean? First things first: I take ‘cognition’ to be a catch-all term encompassing the various states and processes that we ...
