This entry reviews Rudolf Carnap's philosophical views on the quantum mechanics of his time. It also offers some thoughts on how Carnap might have reacted to some recent developments in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
We characterize precisely the possible rate of decay of the anti-analytic half of a trigonometric series converging to zero almost everywhere.
I worked on String Theory over a period of five years during the First String Era, the most intellectually satisfying years of my scientific life. One of the early prospectors in the String Theory Mine, I was fortunate enough to contribute…
We consider a system of differential equations and obtain its solutions with exponential asymptotics and analyticity with respect to the spectral parameter. Solutions of such type have importance in studying spectral properties of…
Kazuo Kondo (1911-2001) was Chair of the Department of Mathematical Engineering at the University of Tokyo, Japan. Over a period of 50 years, he and a few colleagues wrote and published a voluminous series of papers and monographs on the…
Quantum systems with positions and momenta in Z(d), are described by the d zeros of analytic functions on a torus. The d paths of these zeros on the torus, describe the time evolution of the system. A semi-analytic method for the…
We present a review of recent works on the mathematical analysis of algorithms which have been proposed by A.F. Voter and co-workers in the late nineties in order to efficiently generate long trajectories of metastable processes. These…
These informal notes discuss a few basic notions and examples, with emphasis on constructions that may be relevant for analysis on metric spaces.
The research on meta-analysis and particularly multivariate meta-analysis has been greatly influenced by the work of Ingram Olkin. This paper documents Olkin's contributions by way of citation counts and outlines several areas of…
In an earlier paper, the authors introduced partial translation algebras as a generalisation of group C*-algebras. Here we establish an extension of partial translation algebras, which may be viewed as an excision theorem in this context.…
A set S of integers is said to be multiplicative if for every pair m and n of coprime integers we have that mn is in S iff both m and n are in S. Both Landau and Ramanujan gave approximations to S(x), the number of n<=x that are in S, for…
This article surveys key aspects of ambit stochastics and remembers Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen's important contributions to the foundation and advancement of this new research field over the last two decades. It also highlights some of the…
The present work has been designed for students in secondary school and their teachers in mathematics. We will show how with the help of our knowledge of number systems we can solve problems from other fields of mathematics for example in…
We survey a decade worth of work pertaining to the nodal structures of random fields, with emphasis on the transformative techniques that shaped the field.
We discuss some basic concepts of semi-Riemannian geometry in low-regularity situations. In particular, we compare the settings of (linear) distributional geometry in the sense of L. Schwartz and nonlinear distributional geometry in the…
Data science has arrived, and computational statistics is its engine. As the scale and complexity of scientific and industrial data grow, the discipline of computational statistics assumes an increasingly central role among the statistical…
This is part two of a series of four methodological papers on (bi)quaternions and their use in theoretical and mathematical physics: 1- Alphabetical bibliography, 2- Analytical bibliography, 3- Notations and terminology, and 4- Formulas and…
We study a continued fraction due to Ramanujan, that he recorded as Entry 12 in Chapter 16 of his second notebook. It is presented in Part III of Berndt's volumes on Ramanujan's notebooks. We give two alternate approaches to proving…
C.S. Seshadri passed away in July 2020. The first part of this article contains some reminiscences from the early 1980s, when as a graduate student in the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, I had the good fortune to…
The identification of the particle creation and distruction operators is discussed.
