We present meson–meson (Wilson loop) correlators in Z(2) center vortex models for the infrared sector of Yang–Mills theory, i.e. a hypercubic lattice model of random vortex surfaces and a continuous (2 + 1)-dimensional model of random vortex lines. In particular, we calculate quadratic and circular Wilson loop correlators in the two models, respectively, and observe that their expectation values follow the area law and show string breaking behavior. Further, we calculate the catenary solution for the two cases and try to find indications for minimal surface behavior or string surface tension leading to string constriction.

It is argued that the role of infinite-dimensional asymptotic symmetry groups in gravity theories are essential for a holographic description of gravity and possibly to a resolution of the black hole information paradox. I present a simple toy model in two-dimensional hyperbolic/anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and describe, by very elementary considerations, how the asymptotic symmetry group is responsible for the entropy area law. Similar results apply also in three-dimensional AdS space. The failure of the approach in higher-dimensional AdS spaces is explained and resolved by considering other asymptotically noncompact homogeneous spaces.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.
