Liberalization and Democratization: The Forum and the Hearth in the Era of Cosmopolitan Post-Industrial Capitalism

Rather than the desire for economic liberalization bringing about political democratization, the struggles against autocracy have created an opening for economic liberalization. While undermining partriarchy and hierarchy, anti-authoritarian movements have also paved the way for post-industrial capitalism, with its emphasis on information management, flexible working conditions, and a global outlook

Department of Computer Science and EngineeringRecently deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms show super human performances in the simulated game domains. In practical points, the sample efficiency is also one of the most important measures to determine the performance of a model. Especially for the environment of large search spaces (e.g. continuous action space), it is very critical condition to achieve the state-of-the-art performance. In this thesis, we design a model to be applicable to multi-end games in continuous space with high sample efficiency. A multi-end game has several sub-games which are independent each other but affect the result of the game by some rules of its domain. We verify the algorithm in the environment of simulated curling.clos

On the Domination of Random Walk on a Discrete Cylinder by Random Interlacements

We consider simple random walk on a discrete cylinder with base a large d-dimensional torus of side-length N, when d is two or more. We develop a stochastic domination control on the local picture left by the random walk in boxes of side-length almost of order N, at certain random times comparable to the square of the number of sites in the base. We show a domination control in terms of the trace left in similar boxes by random interlacements in the infinite (d+1)-dimensional cubic lattice at a suitably adjusted level. As an application we derive a lower bound on the disconnection time of the discrete cylinder, which as a by-product shows the tightness of the laws of the ratio of the square of the number of sites in the base to the disconnection time. This fact had previously only been established when d is at least 17, in arXiv: math/0701414.Comment: 33 pages, accepted for publication in the Electronic Journal of Probabilit
