For infinitely divisible distributions $\rho$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ the stochastic integral mapping $\Phi_f\rho$ is defined as the distribution of improper stochastic integral $\int_0^{\infty-} f(s) dX_s^{(\rho)}$, where $f(s)$ is a non-random…

This diploma thesis is concerned with functional decomposition $f = g \circ h$ of polynomials. First an algorithm is described which computes decompositions in polynomial time. This algorithm was originally proposed by Zippel (1991). A…

Kaluza-Klein Theory states that a metric on the total space of a principal bundle $P\rightarrow M$, if it is invariant under the principal action of $P$, naturally reduces to a metric together with a gauge field on the base manifold $M$. We…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

A new approach to the Kaluza theory and its relation to the gauge theory is presented. Two degenerate metrics on the $4+d$-dimensional total manifold are used, one corresponding to the spacetime metric and giving the fiber of the gauge…

We study the irreducibility and Galois group of random polynomials over function fields. We prove that a random polynomial $f=y^n+\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_i(x)y^i\in\mathbb F_q[x][y]$ with i.i.d coefficients $a_i$ taking values in the set…

The goal of this paper consists of developing a new (more physical and numerical in comparison with standard and non-standard analysis approaches) point of view on Calculus with functions assuming infinite and infinitesimal values. It uses…

Differential equations of the form $f'' + A(z)f' + B(z)f = 0$ (*) are considered, where $A(z)$ and $B(z) \not\equiv 0$ are entire functions. The Lindel\"of function is used to show that for any $\rho \in (1/2, \infty)$, there exists an…

Fred Galvin's amazing proof of the Dinitiz conjecture is used to illustrate the method of undetermined generalization and specialization.

We prove that the q-Gaussian distribution introduced by Bozejko and Speicher is freely infinitely divisible for all q between zero and one.

Let $f(x)$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients of degree at least two. Hooley proved that the roots of the congruence equation $f(x)\equiv 0\mod n$ is uniformly distributed. as a parallel of Hooley's theorem under ideal…

Let I be a compact d-dimensional manifold, let X:I\to R be a Gaussian process with regular paths and let F_I(u), u\in R, be the probability distribution function of sup_{t\in I}X(t). We prove that under certain regularity and nondegeneracy…

The concept of uniform distribution in $[0,1]$ is extended for a certain strictly separated maximal (in the sense of cardinality) family $(\lambda_t)_{t \in [0,1]}$ of invariant extensions of the linear Lebesgue measure $\lambda$ in…

We study multiplicative functions $f$ satisfying $|f(n)|\le 1$ for all $n$, the associated Dirichlet series $F(s):=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} f(n) n^{-s}$, and the summatory function $S_f(x):=\sum_{n\le x} f(n)$. Up to a possible trivial…

Continuing the study reported in Satheesh (2001),(math.PR/0304499 dated 01 May 2003) and Satheesh (2002)(math.PR/0305030 dated 02May 2003), here we study generalizations of infinitely divisible (ID) and max-infinitely divisible (MID) laws.…

Early 17th-century mathematical publications of Johann Faulhaber contain some remarkable theorems, such as the fact that the $r$-fold summation of $1^m,2^m,...,n^m$ is a polynomial in $n(n+r)$ when $m$ is a positive odd number. The present…

De Finetti's theorem, also called the de Finetti-Hewitt-Savage theorem, is a foundational result in probability and statistics. Roughly, it says that an infinite sequence of exchangeable random variables can always be written as a mixture…

An infinite convergent sum of independent and identically distributed random variables discounted by a multiplicative random walk is called perpetuity, because of a possible actuarial application. We give three disjoint groups of sufficient…

This paper studies fair division of divisible and indivisible items among agents whose cardinal preferences are not necessarily monotone. We establish the existence of fair divisions and develop approximation algorithms to compute them. We…

We prove that the classical normal distribution is infinitely divisible with respect to the free additive convolution. We study the Voiculescu transform first by giving a survey of its combinatorial implications and then analytically,…
