In this paper, we consider the subjectivist approach to the revision of belief particularly as it relates to the foundations and practice of statistics. There is much misunderstanding as to the meaning of subjectivism. Therefore, we shall focus our d... Read More about Belief revision : subjectivist principles and practice..

Sigma models in 2+1 dimensions (1994)
Book Chapter
Ward, R. (1994). Sigma models in 2+1 dimensions. In A. P. Fordy, & J. C. Wood (Eds.), Harmonic maps and integrable systems (193-202). F. Vieweg. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-663-14092-4_9

Finite-energy harmonic maps from R2 into simple manifolds such as CP1 ≅ S2 or SU(2)≅ S3 are thoroughly understood. The relevant equations constitute an integrable system, the general solution of which can be written down explicitly. Such solutions ma... Read More about Sigma models in 2+1 dimensions.
