For a binary-input memoryless symmetric channel $W$, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the polarization process in the large block-length regime when transmission takes place over $W$. In particular, we study the asymptotics of the…
We study polar coding for stochastic processes with memory. For example, a process may be defined by the joint distribution of the input and output of a channel. The memory may be present in the channel, the input, or both. We show that…
Consider a binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channel $W$. Such a channel has a capacity, call it $I(W)$, and for any $R<I(W)$ and strictly positive constant $P_{\rm e}$ we know that we can construct a coding scheme that allows…
We show that if an equivalence relation $E$ on a Polish space is a countable union of smooth Borel subequivalence relations, then there is either a Borel reduction of $E$ to a countable Borel equivalence relation on a Polish space or a…
The memoryless noncoherent single-input single-output (SISO) Rayleigh-fading channel is considered. Closed-form expressions for the mutual information between the output and the input of this channel when the input magnitude distribution is…
The maximal amount of information which is reliably transmitted over two uses of general Pauli channels with memory is proven to be achieved by maximally entangled states beyond some memory threshold. In particular, this proves a conjecture…
We give a characterization of extremal irreducible discrete subfactors $(N\subseteq M, E)$ where $N$ is type ${\rm II}_1$ in terms of connected W*-algebra objects in rigid C*-tensor categories. We prove an equivalence of categories where…
We develop component evolution (CE), a framework based on complex function theory for finite-blocklength channel polarization on discrete binary-input memoryless output-symmetric (BMS) channels. In this view, the Bhattacharyya parameter is…
A method of channel polarization, proposed by Arikan, allows us to construct efficient capacity-achieving channel codes. In the original work, binary input discrete memoryless channels are considered. A special case of $q$-ary channel…
The cross section for $e^-e^- \to e^-e^-$ with arbitrary electron polarizations is calculated within the Electroweak Standard Model for energies large compared to the electron mass, including the complete virtual and soft-photonic…
We investigate Borel reducibility between equivalence relations $E(X,p)=X^{\Bbb N}/\ell_p(X)$'s where $X$ is a separable Banach space. We show that this reducibility is related to the so called H\"older$(\alpha)$ embeddability between…
We construct an Eliahou-Kervaire-like minimal free resolution of the alternative polarization $b-pol(I)$ of a Borel fixed ideal $I$. It yields new descriptions of the minimal free resolutions of $I$ itself and $I^sq$, where $(-)^sq$ is the…
We look into the $D_s^+ \to \rho^+ \phi$ and $D_s^+ \to \rho^+ \omega$ weak decays recently measured by the BESIII collaboration, which proceed very differently in a first step of the weak decay. While the first reaction proceeds directly…
For any given channel $W$ with classical inputs and possibly quantum outputs, a dual classical-input channel $W^\perp$ can be defined by embedding the original into a channel $\mathcal N$ with quantum inputs and outputs. Here we give new…
The cutoff rate $R_0(W)$ of a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) $W$ is often used as a figure of merit, alongside the channel capacity $C(W)$. Given a channel $W$ consisting of two possibly correlated subchannels $W_1$, $W_2$, the capacity…
$1 - (1-x^M) ^ {2^M} > (1 - (1-x)^M) ^{2^M}$ is proved for all $x \in [0,1]$ and all $M > 1$. This confirms a conjecture about polar code, made by Wu and Siegel in 2019, that $W^{0^m 1^M}$ is more reliable than $W^{1^m 0^M}$, where $W$ is…
We study polarization for nonbinary channels with input alphabet of size q=2^r,r=2,3,... Using Arikan's polarizing kernel H_2, we prove that the virtual channels that arise in the process of polarization converge to q-ary channels with…
Using Y.Andr\'e's result on differential equations staisfied by $E$-functions, we derive an improved version of the Siegel-Shidlovskii theorem. It gives a complete characterisation of algebraic relations over the algebraic numbers between…
We study the multiplicativity of the output 2-norm for depolarized Werner-Holevo channels and show that multiplicativity holds for a product of two identical channels in this class. Moreover, it shown that the depolarized Werner-Holevo…
In the electroweak standard model we observe two remarkable empirical mass relations, m_W + m_B = v/2 and m_W - m_B = e v/2 where m^2_Z = m^2_W + m^2_B, e is the positron electric charge and v, the strength of the Higgs condensate.
