We analyze hypotheses tests using classical results on large deviations to compare two models, each one described by a different H\"older Gibbs probability measure. One main difference to the classical hypothesis tests in Decision Theory is…
In a recent paper, Dunkel and Hilbert [Nature Physics 10, 67-72 (2014)] use an entropy definition due to Gibbs to provide a 'consistent thermostatistics' which forbids negative absolute temperatures. Here we argue that the Gibbs entropy…
Minimizing divergence measures under a constraint is an important problem. We derive a sufficient condition that binary divergence measures provide lower bounds for symmetric divergence measures under a given triangular discrimination or…
Concentration of measure is a phenomenon in which a random variable that depends in a smooth way on a large number of independent random variables is essentially constant. The random variable will "concentrate" around its median or…
We study the one-dimensional projection of the extremal Gibbs measures of the two-dimensional Ising model, the "Schonmann projection". These measures are known to be non-Gibbsian at low temperatures, since their conditional probabilities as…
We consider certain self-adjoint observables for the KMS state associated to the Hamiltonian $H= \sigma^x \otimes \sigma^x$ over the quantum spin lattice $\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes ...$. For a fixed…
We study images of equilibrium (Gibbs) states for a class of non-invertible transformations associated to conformal iterated function systems with overlaps $\mathcal S$. We prove exact dimensionality for these image measures, and find a…
This paper gives a self-contained introduction to the Hilbert projective metric $\mathcal{H}$ and its fundamental properties, with a particular focus on the space of probability measures. We start by defining the Hilbert pseudo-metric on…
We weaken the assumption of summable variations in a paper by Verbitskiy \cite{verb} to a weaker condition, Berbee's condition, in order for a 1-block factor (a single site renormalisation) of the full shift space on finitely many symbols…
We consider the KMS state associated to the Hamiltonian $H= \sigma^x \otimes \sigma^x$ over the quantum spin lattice $\mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes \mathbb{C}^2 \otimes ...$. For a fixed observable of the form $L \otimes L…
A single spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle obeys the Dirac equation in $d\ge 1$ spatial dimension and is bound by an attractive central monotone potential which vanishes at infinity (in one dimension the potential is even). This work refines the…
We investigate under which conditions a given invariant measure $\mu$ for the dynamical system defined by the Gauss map $x \mapsto 1/x \mod 1$ is a Rajchman measure with polynomially decaying Fourier transform $$|\widehat{\mu}(\xi)| =…
We prove the large deviation principle for the conditional Gibbs measure associated with the focusing Gross Pitaevskii equation in the low temperature regime. This conditional measure is of mixed type, being canonical in energy and…
In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…
Motivated by de Finetti's representation theorem for almost exchangeable arrays, we want to sample $\mathbf p \in [0,1]^d$ from a distribution with density proportional to $\exp(-A^2\sum_{i<j}c_{ij}(p_i-p_j)^2)$, where $A$ is large and…
We prove the existence of long-range order at sufficiently low temperatures, including zero temperature, for the three-state Potts antiferromagnet on a class of quasi-transitive plane quadrangulations, including the diced lattice. More…
This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular…
We study the large deviations for focusing Gibbs measures by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the free energy in the infinite volume limit. This is the invariant Gibbs measure for the dynamical $\Phi^3_2$-models. From our sharp…
For SFTs, any equilibrium measure is Gibbs, as long a $f$ has $d$-summable variation. This is a theorem of Lanford and Ruelle. Conversely, a theorem of Dobru{\v{s}}in states that for strongly-irreducible subshifts, shift-invariant…
We propose a framework to construct Gibbs measures for the Dirac equation. We consider the Dirac equation on the sphere with a "Hartree-type" nonlinearity. We consider a zonal model, that is the analog of a spherically symmetric model but…
