O titulo principal é um pouco misleading... . O verdadeiro titulo é o sub titulo: Os fundos disponíveis para a investigação estão em parte afetos às regiões e são geridos pelas CCDR. Um projeto para ser financiado tem de passar vários crivos, além do mérito científico.

E se em Lisboa não houver ciências sociais e humanidades?

Quantum-gravitational effects on gauge-invariant scalar and tensor perturbations during inflation: the de Sitter case

http://arxiv.org/abs/1511.05545

On the multiverse... from within string theory, e.g. .

On Mathematics and Economy.

Message to politicians: fail to invest and support the former then forget about (economical) growth & innovation & competetivity at any level any domain any horizon.  Namely,  2020.

But if a theologian happens to know of tensor calculus, as well as algebraic topology plus differential geometry and so on and so forth...

Rimanceiro beirão - Antonio Santos Pereira

The Honourable Schoolboy

Rimanceiro beirão
Novembro entrado,
Descansa o sol cedo,
Nasce a lua tarde
Sem sombra de medo.
A manhã que vem,
José e Maria
Partem para Belém,
Com toda a alegria.
Acham o presépio
Feito de palhinha,
Ali vai nascer,
Jesus à noitinha.
Já lá estão os anjos
Todos a cantar,
Nasce o Deus menino
Para nos salvar.

[1509.01065] Towards a formulation of $f(R)$ supergravity

[1509.01065] Towards a formulation of $f(R)$ supergravity: "Towards a formulation of f(R) supergravity G. A. Diamandis, A. B. Lahanas, K. Tamvakis (Submitted on 3 Sep 2015 (v1), last revised 20 Nov 2015 (this version, v3)) The supersymmetric completion of R+R2 gravity is known to be equivalent to standard supergravity coupled to two chiral supermultiples with a K\"ahler potential of the no-scale type. The generalization of this programme to f(R) gravity can be carried out in an analogous framework in terms of four chiral multiplets with appropriately chosen superpotential and K\"ahler potential. Although the construction strategy has been known for sometime, we carry out this programme further by setting these theories in a closed form. The general framework considered can accommodate supergravity actions local in the scalar curvature, dual to ordinary N=1 supergravities. Although these are in general plagued by ghosts, the framework studied in this work offers a possibility that these can decouple as can be seen in specific examples.
