Robert J. Carroll

About

Robert J. Carroll is a political scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He teaches courses in international relations, political economy, and formal modeling. His research encompasses a wide range of topics including the causal content of game-theoretic models, the relational identity of actors in international relations, and the formal analysis of policy spaces and electoral competition. Carroll develops theoretical frameworks and models to understand complex political and international phenomena, such as the dynamics of civil war, the role of force and state capacity, and the interactions between economic and military competition among states. His work often involves formal, mathematical, and computational methods to analyze strategic behavior, jurisdictional design, and signaling in autocratic regimes, contributing to both theoretical and empirical advancements in political science and international relations.

  A short survey of some material related to conformal general relativity (CGR), integrable Weyl geometry, and Dirac-Weyl (DW) theory is given which suggests that CGR is essentially equivalent to DW with quantum mass equivalent to conformal mass, and various actions can be reformulated in terms of the quantum potential.
