Building on work of Kontsevich, we introduce a definition of the entropy of a finite probability distribution in which the "probabilities" are integers modulo a prime p. The entropy, too, is an integer mod p. Entropy mod p is shown to be…

Large-scale distributed storage systems typically use erasure codes to provide durability of data in the face of failures. A set of $k$ blocks to be stored is encoded using an $[n, k]$ code to generate $n$ blocks that are then stored on…

Postulating an impredicative universe in dependent type theory allows System F style encodings of finitary inductive types, but these fail to satisfy the relevant {\eta}-equalities and consequently do not admit dependent eliminators. To…
