There are several new efficient approaches to decrease the trust in the CRS creators in the case of non-interactive zero knowledge (NIZK) in the CRS model. Recently, Groth et al. (CRYPTO 2018) defined...
Augmented Black-Box Zero-Knowledge Simulation And Zero Knowledge Argument for NP
zero-knowledge proofs (arguments) black-box simulation constant- round
2017/12/25
Zero knowledge property, proved by means of augmented black-box simulation, is called augmented black-box zero-knowledge. We present a 5-round statistical augmented black-box zero-knowledge argument f...
An Efficient Pairing-Based Shuffle Argument
Common reference string generic group model mix-net
2017/9/18
We prove the knowledge-soundness of the first two subarguments in the generic bilinear group model, and the culpable soundness of the third subargument under a KerMDH assumption. This proves the sound...
A Shuffle Argument Secure in the Generic Model
Common reference string generic bilinear group model mix-net
2016/12/9
We propose a new random oracle-less NIZK shuffle argument. It has a simple structure, where the first verification equation ascertains that the prover has committed to a permutation matrix, the second...
Can Interventionists be Neo-Russellians?Interventionism,the Open Systems Argument and the Arrow of Entropy
Russell on causation neo-Russellian views of causation interventionist theories of causation causation in the special sciences statistical mechanical account of causation
2016/6/15
Several proponents of the interventionist theory of causation have recently argued for a neo-Russellian account of causation. The paper discusses two strategies for interventionists to be neo-Russelli...
Relativity as Support for Presentism:A Modest Evidential Argument
Presentism eternalism special relativity Euclidean space-time
2016/6/15
Presentism is roughly the view that only the present exists. This view requires an absolute simultaneity relation. The special theory of relativity, however, is highly successful and does not account ...
A Stronger Bell Argument for Quantum Non-Locality
philosophy of physics quantum theory Bell's theorem EPR argument non-locality probabilistic analysis
2016/6/15
It is widely accepted that the violation of Bell inequalities excludes local theories of the quantum realm. This paper presents a stronger Bell argu- ment which even forbids certain non-local theories...
The Argument from Underconsideration and Relative Realism
antirealism argument from underconsideration epistemic privilege K. Brad Wray relative realism scientific realism
2016/6/15
In this paper, through a critical examination of Wray’s version of the argument from underconsideration against scientific realism, I articulate a modest version of scientific realism. This modest rea...
Kuhn’s Incommensurability Thesis:What’s the Argument?
incommensurability lexical taxonomy scientific change scientific revolution Thomas Kuhn
2016/6/15
In this paper, I argue that there is neither valid deductive support nor strong inductive support for Kuhn’s incommensurability thesis. There is no valid deductive support for Kuhn’s incommensurabilit...
The Doomsday Argument and the Simulation Argument
Doomsday argument simulation argument self-location centered credence
2016/6/14
The Doomsday Argument and the Simulation Argument share certain structural features, and hence are often discussed together (Bostrom 2003, Aranyosi 2004, Richmond 2008, Bostrom and Kulczycki 2011). Bo...
A quantum physical argument for panpsychism
consciousness causal efficacy quantum superposition quantum-to-classical transition panpsychism
2016/6/13
It has been widely thought that consciousness has no causal efficacy in the physical world. However, this may be not the case. In this paper, we show that a conscious being can distinguish definite pe...
A Relic of a Bygone Age?Causation,Time Symmetry and the Directionality Argument
Causation direction of time time asymmetry time symmetry time reversal
2016/6/13
Bertrand Russell famously argued that causation is not part of the fundamental physical description of the world, describing the notion of cause as "a relic of a bygone age." This paper assesses one o...
Scientific theories are hard to find, and once scientists have found a theory H, they often believe that there are not many distinct alternatives to H. But is this belief justified? What should scient...
To Save the Semantic View:An Argument for Returning to Suppes'Interpretation
semantic view of scientific theories Patrick Suppes
2016/6/12
Recent work on the semantic view of scientific theories is highly critical of the position. This paper identifies two common criticisms of the view, describes two popular alternatives for responding t...
The standard U(1) “gauge principle” or “gauge argument” produces an exact potential A=dλ and a vanishing field F=ddλ=0. Weyl has his own gauge argument, which is sketchy, archaic and hard to follow; b...
