We introduce a non real-valued measure on the definable sets contained in the finite part of a cartesian power of an o-minimal field $R$. The measure takes values in an ordered semiring, the Dedekind completion of a quotient of $R$. We show…
A quantum measurement, often referred to as positive operator-valued measurement (POVM), is a set of positive operators $P_j=P_j^\dag\geq 0$ summing to identity, $\sum_jP_j=\mathbb{1}$. This can be seen as a generalization of a probability…
A simple construction is given of a class of Euclidean invariant, reflection positive measures on a compactification of the space of distributions. An unusual feature is that the regularizations used are not reflection positive.
We study k-positive maps on operators. Proofs are given to different positivity criteria. Special attention is on positive maps arising in the study of quantum information science. Results of other researchers are extended and improved. New…
This book discusses the construction of triangulated categories of mixed motives over a noetherian scheme of finite dimension, extending Voevodsky's definition of motives over a field. In particular, it is shown that motives with rational…
Positivity, the assumption that every unique combination of confounding variables that occurs in a population has a non-zero probability of an action, can be further delineated as deterministic positivity and stochastic positivity. Here, we…
We study various optimality criteria for quantum observables. Observables are represented as covariant positive operator valued measures and we consider the case when the symmetry group is compact. Phase observables are examined as an…
Measures of irrationality are a numerical way of quantifying how far a given variety is from being rational (or rationally connected, uniruled, etc.). In the last two decades, there has been renewed interest in the study of these…
In a number of recent works [6, 7] the authors have introduced and studied a functor $\mathcal{F}_k$ which associates to each loose graph $\Gamma$ -which is similar to a graph, but where edges with $0$ or $1$ vertex are allowed - a…
Let $\mathcal{M}(d,\chi)$ be the moduli stack of stable sheaves of rank 0, Euler characteristic $\chi$ and first Chern class $dH~(d>0)$, with $H$ the hyperplane class in $\mathbb{P}^2$. We compute the $A$-valued motivic measure…
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over a finite field $\bF_q$, homogeneous under a linear algebraic group. We show that the number of rational points of $X$ over $\bF_{q^n}$ is a periodic polynomial function of $q^n$ with integer…
The interplay between the two fundamental concepts of topological order and reflection positivity allows one to characterize the ground states of certain many-body Hamiltonians. We define topological order in an appropriate fashion and show…
The notion of expansivity and its generalizations (measure expansive, measure positively expansive, continuum-wise expansive, countably-expansive) are well known for deterministic systems and can be a useful property for studying…
We show that any ergodic measure for a piecewise monotonic map with positive metric entropy is approximated by periodic measures in the weak-* sense. This partially answers Hofbauer-Raith's conjecture.
Let $\operatorname{Fl}_{n+1}$ be the variety of complete flags in $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ and let $\Omega^{2}_{\beta}(\operatorname{Fl}_{n+1})$ be the space of based maps $f:\mathbb{P}^{1}\to \operatorname{Fl}_{n+1}$ in the class…
The Grothendieck ring of varieties has well-known realization maps to, say, mixed Hodge structures or compactly supported $\ell$-adic cohomology. Zakharevich and\ Campbell have developed {a spectral refinement} of the Grothendieck ring of…
We lift the classical Hasse--Weil zeta function of varieties over a finite field to a map of spectra with domain the Grothendieck spectrum of varieties constructed by Campbell and Zakharevich. We use this map to prove that the Grothendieck…
Positive thinking is thought to be an important component of self-motivation in various practical fields such as education and the workplace. Previous work, including sentiment transfer and positive reframing, has focused on the positive…
Given $k>0$ and an Abelian countable discrete group $G$ with elements of infinite order, we construct $(i)$ rigid funny rank-one infinite measure preserving (i.m.p.) $G$-actions of ergodic index $k$, $(ii)$ 0-type funny rank-one i.m.p.…
We present a method for constructing global holomorphic peak functions from local holomorphic support functions for broad classes of unbounded domains. As an application, we establish a method for showing the positivity and completeness of…
