AbstractThis paper provides a new interpretation of Plato’s account of justice as psychic health in Republic IV. It argues that what has traditionally been considered to be one single analogy is actually a more complex line of reasoning that contains various medical analogies. These medical analogies are not only different in number but also in kind. I discuss each of them separately, while providing a response to various objections.

AbstractAn algebraAis said to be directly finite if each left-invertible element in the (conditional) unitization ofAis right invertible. We show that the reduced group C*-algebra of a unimodular group is directly finite, extending known results for the discrete case. We also investigate the corresponding problem for algebras ofp-pseudofunctions, showing that these algebras are directly finite ifGis amenable and unimodular, or unimodular with the Kunze–Stein property. An exposition is also given of how existing results from the literature imply thatL1(G) is not directly finite whenGis the affine group of either the real or complex line.

Let X be a finite CW-complex, and ξ: Eξ → X a complex line-bundle on X. This bundle determines an element c1(ξ) in H2(X:Z) and a class ; let m(ξ), a(ξ) be the orders (possibly infinite) of these elements in their respective groups. How are m(ξ) and a(ξ) related? The answer is contained in the following three propositions.

In [2], R. Arthan and S. Bullett pose the problem of representing generators of the complex bordism ring MU* by manifolds which are totally normally split; i.e. whose stable normal bundles are split into a sum of complex line bundles. This has recently been solved by Ochanine and Schwartz [8] who use a mixture of J-theory and surgery theory to establish several results, including the following.

Motivated by the works of F. Bethuel, H. Brezis, F. Hélein [5] and of F. Bethuel, T. Rivière [6], an asymptotic analysis is carried out for minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau functional depending on a parameter ε, in the more general case of complex line bundles with prescribed Chern class over compact Riemann surfaces. Such a functional describes a 2-dimensional abelian Higgs model and is also related to phenomena in superconductivity. A suitable renormalized energy is defined which characterizes the singularities (degree one vortices) of the limiting configuration.
