A classical theorem of Landau states that, if an ordinary Dirichlet series has non-negative coefficients, then it has a singularity on the real line at its abscissae of absolute convergence. In this article, we relax the condition on the…
In this paper, we consider recurrence sequences $x_n=\xi_1 \alpha_1^n+\xi_2 \alpha_2^n$ ($n=0,1,\ldots$) with companion polynomial $P(X)$. For example, the sequence $x_n=\xi_1(4+\sqrt{2})^n+\xi_2(4-\sqrt{2})^n$ satisfies the recurrence…
In a recent paper by Jonasson and Steif, definitions to describe the volatility of sequences of Boolean functions, \( f_n \colon \{ -1,1 \}^n \to \{ -1,1 \} \) were introduced. We continue their study of how these definitions relate to…
Bell's Theorem requires any theory which obeys the technical definitions of Free Choice and Local Causality to satisfy the Bell inequality. Invariant set theory is a finite theory of quantum physics which violates the Bell inequality…
Descriptive set theory is mainly concerned with studying subsets of the space of all countable binary sequences. In this paper we study the generalization where countable is replaced by uncountable. We explore properties of generalized…
The fields of quantum non-locality in physics, and causal discovery in machine learning, both face the problem of deciding whether observed data is compatible with a presumed causal relationship between the variables (for example a local…
It is well-known that in a Bell experiment, the observed correlation between measurement outcomes -- as predicted by quantum theory -- can be stronger than that allowed by local causality, yet not fully constrained by the principle of…
This paper studies when a sequence of probability measures on a metric space admit subsequential weak limits. A sufficient condition called sequential tightness is formulated, which relaxes some assumptions for asymptotic tightness used in…
For a class of one-dimensional determinantal point processes including those induced by orthogonal projections with integrable kernels satisfying a growth condition, it is proved that their conditional measures, with respect to the…
Let $A,B\subseteq \mathbb Z_n\setminus\{0\}$. A sequence $S=(x_1,\ldots, x_k)$ in $\mathbb Z_n$ is called an $(A,B)$-weighted zero-sum sequence if there exist $a_1,\ldots,a_k\in A$ and $b_1,\ldots,b_k\in B$ such that…
To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…
Let $U=\{U_{j,k},j,k\in \overline {\mathbb N}\}$ be the potential of a transient symmetric Borel right process $X$ with state space $\overline {\mathbb N}$. For any excessive function $f=\{f_{k,k\in \overline {\mathbb N}}\}$ for $X$ ,…
We determine equivalent conditions between the asymptotic coefficients of the Bessel generating functions of a sequence of probability measures and the asymptotic expected values of power sums when their inputs are sampled from these…
Confidence sequences are confidence intervals that can be sequentially tracked, and are valid at arbitrary data-dependent stopping times. This paper presents confidence sequences for a univariate mean of an unknown distribution with a known…
It follows from a theorem of Rosenthal that a compact space is $ccc$ if and only if every Eberlein continuous image is metrizable. Motivated by this result, for a class of compact spaces $\mathcal{C}$ we define its orthogonal…
A classical Borel Cantelli Lemma gives conditions for deciding whether an infinite number of rare events will almost surely happen. In this article, we propose an extension of Borel Cantelli Lemma to characterize the multiple occurrence of…
A permutation sequence is said to be convergent if the density of occurrences of every fixed permutation in the elements of the sequence converges. We prove that such a convergent sequence has a natural limit object, namely a Lebesgue…
Bell inequalities follow from a set of seemingly natural assumptions about how to provide a causal model of a Bell experiment. In the face of their violation, two types of causal models that modify some of these assumptions have been…
Similarly to $\beta$-adic van der Corput sequences, abstract van der Corput sequences can be defined for abstract numeration systems. Under some assumptions, these sequences are low discrepancy sequences. The discrepancy function is…
Beginning with the Bell theorem, cyclic systems of dichotomous random variables have been the object of many foundational findings in quantum mechanics. Here, we ask the question: if one chooses a cyclic system "at random" (uniformly within…
