An infinite sequence of real random variables $(\xi_1, \xi_2, \dots)$ is said to be rotatable if every finite subsequence $(\xi_1, \dots, \xi_n)$ has a spherically symmetric distribution. A celebrated theorem of Freedman states that…
We briefly review Boltzmann-Gibbs and nonextensive statistical mechanics as well as their connections with Fokker-Planck equations and with existing central limit theorems. We then provide some hints that might pave the road to the proof of…
An infinite sequence $\alpha$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is $\mu$-distributed w.r.t. a probability map $\mu$ if, for every finite string $w$, the limiting frequency of $w$ in $\alpha$ exists and equals $\mu(w)$. %We raise the question of how…
Let $S$ be a Polish space and $(X_n:n\geq1)$ an exchangeable sequence of $S$-valued random variables. Let $\alpha_n(\cdot)=P(X_{n+1}\in \cdot\mid X_1,\...,X_n)$ be the predictive measure and $\alpha$ a random probability measure on $S$ such…
The goals of this paper are twofold. First, we generalize the result of Gaboriau and Lyons [GL07] to the setting of von Neumann's problem for equivalence relations, proving that for any non-amenable ergodic probability measure preserving…
We ask what happens when the index set carries modal structure, with possibilities organized into a Kripke frame. We define modal exchangeability as invariance under accessibility-preserving automorphisms that fix a designated base world,…
We advance a general theory of coherent preference that surrenders restrictions embodied in orthodox doctrine. This theory enjoys the property that any preference system admits extension to a complete system of preferences, provided it…
In this article we extend results of Kakutani, Adler-Flatto, Smilansky and others on the classical $\alpha$-Kakutani equidistribution result for sequences arising from finite partitions of the interval. In particular, we describe a…
We consider random polynomials with independent identically distributed coefficients with a fixed law. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that such polynomials are irreducible and their Galois groups…
The theory of noninterference supports the analysis of secure computations in multi-level security systems. Classical equivalence-based approaches to noninterference mainly rely on bisimilarity. In a nondeterministic setting, assessing…
Let $K_n$ denote the number of distinct values among the first $n$ terms of an infinite exchangeable sequence of random variables $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$. We prove for $n=3$ that the extreme points of the convex set of all possible laws of $K_3$…
We define a new independence in non-commutative probability, called $\alpha$-freeness, with respect to a triplet of states. This concept unifies several independences in non-commutative probability, in particular, free, monotone,…
In this article we demonstrate the relationship between finitely exchangeable arrays and finitely exchangeable sequences. We then derive sharp bounds on the total variation distance between distributions of finitely and infinitely…
The concept of a noncommutative field is formulated based on the interplay between twisted Poincar\'e symmetry and residual symmetry of the Lorentz group. Various general dynamical results supporting this construction, such as the…
We establish explicit exponential convergence estimates for the renewal theorem, in terms of a uniform component of the inter arrival distribution, of its Laplace transform which is assumed finite on a positive interval, and of the Laplace…
We present a way of introducing joint distibution function and its marginal distribution functions for non-compatible observables. Each such marginal distribution function has the property of commutativity. Models based on this approach can…
There is currently a renewed interest in the Bayesian predictive approach to statistics. This paper offers a review on foundational concepts and focuses on predictive modeling, which by directly reasoning on prediction, bypasses inferential…
We study Hoeffding decomposable exchangeable sequences with values in a finite set D. We provide a new combinatorial characterization of Hoeffding decomposability and use this result to show that, if the cardinality of D is strictly greater…
A nonparametric variant of the Kiefer--Weiss problem is proposed and investigated. In analogy to the classical Kiefer--Weiss problem, the objective is to minimize the maximum expected sample size of a sequential test. However, instead of…
{\abstract{\textwidth=4,5 in} A discrete time process, with law $\mu$, is quasi-exchangeable if for any finite permutation $\sigma$ of time indices, the law $\mu_\sigma$ of the resulting process is equivalent to $\mu$. For a…
