    Algorithmic fairness, and in particular the fairness of scoring and classification algorithms, has become a topic of increasing social concern and has recently witnessed an explosion of research in theoretical computer science, machine learning, statistics, the social sciences, and law. Much of the literature considers the case of a single classifier (or scoring function) used once, in isolation. In this work, we initiate the study of the fairness properties of systems composed of algorithms that are fair in isolation; that is, we study fairness under composition. We identify pitfalls of naïve composition and give general constructions for fair composition, demonstrating both that classifiers that are fair in isolation do not necessarily compose into fair systems and also that seemingly unfair components may be carefully combined to construct fair systems. We focus primarily on the individual fairness setting proposed in [Dwork, Hardt, Pitassi, Reingold, Zemel, 2011], but also extend our results to a large class of group fairness definitions popular in the recent literature, exhibiting several cases in which group fairness definitions give misleading signals under composition.

    Pannotia is a hypothetical supercontinent that may have existed briefly during the Proterozoic–Cambrian transition. Various lines of evidence used to argue for its existence include global orogenesis in Ediacaran–Cambrian time, the development of Cambrian passive margins and some (but not all) tectonic reconstructions. Indirect measures used to infer Pannotia's veracity include patterns of biological diversity, palaeoclimate, sea level, magmatism and other palaeoenvironmental proxies. It is shown herein that neither the direct records nor the indirect proxies provide compelling support for Pannotia. If that ephemeral contiguous landmass existed at all, its effects on the broader Earth system are inextricably tied to the more fundamental processes of Gondwanaland assembly. This perspective emphasizes the remarkable consolidation of Gondwanaland as a semi-supercontinent within the early stages of the Pangaea cycle. Gondwanaland's size combined with its c. 300 myr longevity might have greater significance for mantle dynamics than the larger, but shorter-lived, Pangaea landmass.

  4. We study $F$ -signature under proper birational morphisms $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}:Y\rightarrow X$ , showing that $F$ -signature strictly increases for small morphisms or if $K_{Y}\leqslant \unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{\ast }K_{X}$ . In certain cases, we can even show that the $F$ -signature of $Y$ is at least twice as that of  $X$ . We also provide examples of $F$ -signature dropping and Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity increasing under birational maps without these hypotheses.
