In this paper, a new class of Finsler metrics which are included $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics are introduced. They are defined by a Riemannian metric and two 1-forms $\beta=b_i(x)y^i$ and $\gamma= \gamma_i(x)y^i$. This class of metrics are a…
The families of $f$-divergences (e.g. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) and Integral Probability Metrics (e.g. total variation distance or maximum mean discrepancies) are widely used to quantify the similarity between probability…
A novel approach towards construction of absolutely continuous distributions over the unit interval is proposed. Considering two absolutely continuous random variables with positive support, this method conditions on their convolution to…
The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure $\mu_\lambda$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum_{n\ge0}\pm\lambda^n$, where the signs are independent unbiased coin tosses. We prove that each…
The Pinsker inequality lower bounds the Kullback--Leibler divergence $D_{\textrm{KL}}$ in terms of total variation and provides a canonical way to convert $D_{\textrm{KL}}$ control into $\lVert \cdot \rVert_1$-control. Motivated by…
Let $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ be closed Ahlfors-regular sets with dimensions $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A =: \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =: \beta$. I prove that $$\dim_{\mathrm{H}} [A + \theta B] \geq \alpha + \beta \cdot \tfrac{1 - \alpha}{2 -…
It has been shown that the conditional probability distributions obtained by performing measurements on an uncharacterized physical system can be used to infer its underlying dimension in a device-independent way both in the classical and…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi$ is a non-decreasing convex…
We study the dimensional asymptotics of the effective actions, or functional determinants, for the Dirac operator D and Laplacians \Delta +\beta R on round S^n. For Laplacians the behavior depends on ``the coupling strength'' \beta, and one…
The Bernoulli convolution $\nu_\lambda$ with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure supported on $\mathbf{R}$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum\pm\lambda^n$, where the $\pm$ are independent fair coin-tosses. We…
In this paper, we build on using the class of f-divergence induced coherent risk measures for portfolio optimization and derive its necessary optimality conditions formulated in CAPM format. We derive a new f-Beta similar to the Standard…
The purpose of this paper is to complete the proof of the following result. Let $0 < \beta \leq \alpha < 1$ and $\kappa > 0$. Then, there exists $\eta > 0$ such that whenever $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ are Borel sets with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A…
We demonstrate a measure for the effective number of parameters constrained by a posterior distribution in the context of cosmology. In the same way that the mean of the Shannon information (i.e. the Kullback-Leibler divergence) provides a…
In this paper, the Douglas curvature of (\alpha,\beta)-metrics, a special class of Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric \alpha and a 1-form \beta, is studied. These metrics with vanishing Douglas curvature in dimension n\geq3 are…
Considerable attention has been given to the study of the arithmetic sum of two planar sets. We focus on understanding the measure and dimension of $A+\Gamma:=\left\{a+v:a\in A, v\in \Gamma \right\}$ when $A\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and…
The ability to compute the exact divergence between two high-dimensional distributions is useful in many applications but doing so naively is intractable. Computing the alpha-beta divergence -- a family of divergences that includes the…
Let $\lbrace f_i(x)=s_i \cdot x+t_i \rbrace$ be a self-similar IFS on $\mathbb{R}$ and let $\beta >1$ be a Pisot number. We prove that if $\frac{\log |s_i|}{\log \beta}\notin \mathbb{Q}$ for some $i$ then for every $C^1$ diffeomorphism $g$…
