This survey provides an overview of common applications, both implicit and explicit, of "tensors" and "tensor products" in the fields of data science and statistics. One goal is to reconcile seemingly distinct usages of the term "tensor" in…

The distribution of the sizes of clusters is not continuous, but rather has local maxima. The numbers of atoms of those maxima distribution is called magic numbers. Two methods of determining magic numbers are firstly introduced, followed…

We investigate various classes of metrics on the integers, which induce the F\"urstenberg topology and establish the connection between the metrics and the topology. We analyze the norm-like mappings underlying these metrics, with respect…

By using the elementary symmetric polynomials and some results of number theory, we solve the well known problem of Lehmer on Euler's totient function. As application, we obtain a new characterization of prime numbers.

In this short note, we establish an operator theoretic version of the Wiener-Ikehara tauberian theorem, and point out how this leads to a new proof of the Prime number theorem that should be accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of…

Practicing mathematicians often assume that mathematical claims, when they are true, have good reasons to be true. Such a state of affairs is "unreasonable", in Wigner's sense, because basic results in computational complexity suggest that…
