Nonlinear social evolution and the emergence of collective action

Benjamin Allen, Abdur-Rahman Khwaja, James L. Donahue +3

Organisms from microbes to humans engage in a variety of social behaviors, which affect fitness in complex, often nonlinear ways. The question of how these behaviors evolve has con…

The coalescent in finite populations with arbitrary, fixed structure

Benjamin Allen, Alex McAvoy

The coalescent is a stochastic process representing ancestral lineages in a population undergoing neutral genetic drift. Originally defined for a well-mixed population, the coalesc…

Evolution of cooperation with asymmetric social interactions

Qi Su, Joshua. B Plotkin

How cooperation emerges in human societies is both an evolutionary enigma, and a practical problem with tangible implications for societal health. Population structure has long bee…

Spin precession as a new window into disformal scalar fields

Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville +1

We launch a first investigation into how a light scalar field coupled both conformally and disformally to matter influences the evolution of spinning point-like bodies. Working dir…

Quantum Corrections to Generic Branes: DBI, NLSM, and More

Garrett Goon, Scott Melville, Johannes Noller

We study quantum corrections to hypersurfaces of dimension embedded in generic higher-dimensional spacetimes. Manifest covariance is maintained throughout the analysis and…

On the time evolution of cosmological correlators

Sebastian Cespedes, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville

Developing our understanding of how correlations evolve during inflation is crucial if we are to extract information about the early Universe from our late-time observables. To tha…
