We study a class of Bell inequalities and find their maximum quantum violation. These inequalities involve n parties, two measurements per party, with each measurement having two outcomes. The n=2 case corresponds to the CH inequality. We…
Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…
In this short note we study two questions about the existence of subgraphs of the hypercube $Q_n$ with certain properties. The first question, due to Erd\H{o}s--Hamburger--Pippert--Weakley, asks whether there exists a bounded degree…
This paper investigates the asymptotics of the maximal throughput of communication over AWGN channels by $n$ channel uses under a covert constraint in terms of an upper bound $\delta$ of Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL divergence). It is…
We consider a sequence of composite Bernstein operators and the quadrature formulae associated with them. Upper bounds for the approximation error of continuous functions and for the approximation of integrals of continuous functions are…
We consider a superconductor under external perturbation, which forces Cooper pairs to develop with a finite total momentum $q$. The condensation energy of such a state decreases with $q$ and vanishes at a critical $q_c$. We analyze how…
We develop a theory and accompanying mathematical model for quantum communication via any number of intermediate entanglement swapping operations and solve numerically for up to three intermediate entanglement swapping operations. Our model…
Four problems related to information divergence measures defined on finite alphabets are considered. In three of the cases we consider, we illustrate a contrast which arises between the binary-alphabet and larger-alphabet settings. This is…
For a non-degenerate irreducible curve $C$ of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, we prove that the number $N_q(C)$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of $C$ satisfies the inequality $N_q(C) \leq (d-2)q+1$. Our result improves…
Consider finite sequences $X_{[1,n]}=X_1\dots X_n$ and $Y_{[1,n]}=Y_1\dots Y_n$ of length $n$, consisting of i.i.d.\ samples of random letters from a finite alphabet, and let $S$ and $T$ be chosen i.i.d.\ randomly from the unit ball in the…
In discrepancy minimization problems, we are given a family of sets $\mathcal{S} = \{S_1,\dots,S_m\}$, with each $S_i \in \mathcal{S}$ a subset of some universe $U = \{u_1,\dots,u_n\}$ of $n$ elements. The goal is to find a coloring $\chi :…
In this paper, we bound the rate of linear codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ with the property that any $k\leq q$ codewords are all simultaneously distinct in at least $d_k$ coordinates. For the case of particular interest $q=k=3$ we recover, with…
In this paper we extend our findings in [3] and answer further questions regarding continuity and discontinuity of seminorms on infinite-dimensional vector spaces.
In this paper we give constructions for infinite sequences of finite non-linear locally recoverable codes $\mathcal C\subseteq \prod\limits^N_{i=1}\mathbb F_{q_i}$ over a product of finite fields arising from basis expansions in algebraic…
Answering an informal question of K. Park, we show that by fixing some irrational alpha to have a particular standard continued fraction expansion, we may force the associated discrepancy sequences for all x in [0,1), which track the…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a convex set. We study the problem of distributing a one-dimensional set $S$ with total length $L$ so that for any line $\ell$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ the number of intersections $\#(\ell \cap S)$ is…
We consider a finite fields version of the Erd\H{o}s-Falconer distance problem for two different sets. In a certain range for the sizes of the two sets we obtain results of the conjectured order of magnitude.
We analyze the finite size scaling of the $q$-state clock model in the $q \rightarrow \infty$ limit. The behaviors of the specific heat, Binder-Landau and U4 cumulants agree with the Borgs-Koteck\'y ans\"atz for first order phase…
The notion of lacunary infinite numerical sequence is introduced. It is shown that for an arbitrary linear difference operator L with coefficients belonging to the set R of infinite numerical sequences, a criterion (i.e., a necessary and…
We study a class of nonlocal conformal field theories in two dimensions which are obtained as deformations of the Virasoro minimal models. The construction proceeds by coupling a relevant primary operator $\phi_{r,s}$ of the $m$-th minimal…
