Abstract:
We characterize rational actions of the additive group on algebraic varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero in terms of a suitable integrability property of their associated velocity vector fields. This extends the classical correspondence between regular actions of the additive group on affine algebraic varieties and the so-called locally nilpotent derivations of their coordinate rings. Our results lead in particular to a complete characterization of regular additive group actions on semi-affine varieties in terms of their associated vector fields. Among other applications, we r

Abstract:
Abstract We study how long-lived rational agents learn from repeatedly observing a private signal and each others’ actions. With normal signals, a group of any size learns more slowly than just four agents who directly observe each others’ private signals in each period. Similar results apply to general signal structures. We identify rational groupthink—in which agents ignore their private signals and choose the same action for long periods of time—as the cause of this failure of information aggregation.

For R prime and G a torus, we show that R has only finitely many G-prime ideals if and only if the action of G on the centre of R is multiplicity free. This extends a standard result on affine algebraic G-varieties. Under suitable hypotheses on R and G, we also prove a PI-version of a well-known result on spherical varieties and a version of Schelter's catenarity theorem for G-primes.

Given the fact that an agent does not always identify with the motives that propel him to action, the common approach does not account for an agent's autonomy in his acting. Consequently, I focus on the question whether an agent can rationally guide his action such that he controls his action by his own causal powers without being just moved to it.

Abstract:
Rational agents and systems consisting of such agents are considered. An agent is an autonomous object that has sources of information about the environment (for example, physical sensors) and affects this environment (for example, with the help of actuators). A rational agent is an agent who, in order to achieve a set goal, is able to act effectively, that is, to use behavioral strategies that are close to optimal. It is assumed that there is a utility function, which is defined on the set of possible sequences of actions of the agent (agents, if a system of agents is considered) and takes va

Abstract:
We study a principal‐agent framework in which the agent forms beliefs about the principal's project based on a misspecified subjective model. She fits this model to the objective probability distribution to predict output under alternative actions. Misspecifications in the subjective model may lead to biased beliefs. However, under mild restrictions, the agent has correct beliefs on the equilibrium path so that the optimal contract is nonexploitative. This allows for a behavioral version of the informativeness principle: The optimal contract conditions on an additional variable only if it is i

Abstract:
In this paper, I discuss Aristotle's notion of rational powers as presented in his Metaphysics Θ.2 and Θ.5. I argue, first, that his account cannot serve as the model for explaining human rational actions in general. The role of rational powers is restricted to the explanation of arts and their exercises, including the exercises of knowledge through teaching. The exercises of character virtues do not follow the same pattern that is discernible in the exercises of rational powers. Second, I try to show that the similarities between Aristotle's rational powers and powers as they are commonly und

Abstract:
ABSTRACT:The moral of Buridan's ass is that it can sometimes be rational to perform one action rather than another even though one lacks stronger reason to do so. Yet, it is also commonly believed that it cannot ever be rational to believe one proposition rather than another if one lacks stronger reason to do so. This asymmetry has been taken to indicate a deep difference between epistemic and practical rationality. According to the view articulated here, the asymmetry should instead be explained by the difference between rational intentions and rational actions. Thus, it turns out, cases such

Abstract:
AbstractThe notion of minimal self-joinings for conservative nonsingular actions is defined as a restriction on the nature of rational self-joinings. The need to consider rational joinings is demonstrated by showing that any two type II1actions whose Cartesian product is ergodic have type IIIλnonsingular joinings. Lastly, actions of all Krieger types with minimal self-joinings are constructed. Hence these actions are prime and commute only with their powers.

Abstract:
This paper argues that emotions play a key role in intentional explanation, because they can be conceived as rational. Furthermore, their rationality is specific as they make agents act and react with respect to values and norms. Indeed, emotions have cognitive bases and are reactions to the presence of values and are regimented by epistemic norms that can be constrained by social norms. Additionally, thanks to their action and cognitive tendencies emotions ground rational actions by providing, among other features of rationality, intentions to promote values through norms of action that can a
