We study here the topology of information on the space of probability measures over Polish spaces that was defined in [1]. We show that under this topology, a convergent sequence of probability measures satisfying a conditional independence…

A radial probability measure is a probability measure with a density (with respect to the Lebesgue measure) which depends only on the distances to the origin. Consider the Euclidean space enhanced with a radial probability measure. A…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a probability measure on $\mathbb{N}_0$, the nonnegative integers, whose first $n$ moments are a given $n$-tuple of nonnegative real numbers. The results, based on finding an…

We prove that for a typical Radon measure mu in R^d, every non-zero Radon measure is a tangent measure of mu at mu almost every point. This was already shown by T. O'Neil in his PhD thesis from 1994, but we provide a different…

Contextuality is a necessary resource for universal quantum computation and non-contextual quantum mechanics can be simulated efficiently by classical computers in many cases. Orders of Planck's constant, $\hbar$, can also be used to…

We define multideterminantal probability measures, a family of probability measures on $[k]^n$ where $[k]=\{1,2,\dots,k\}$, generalizing determinantal measures (which correspond to the case $k=2$). We give examples coming from the positive…

We examine how the measure and the number of vertices of the convex hull of a random sample of $n$ points from an arbitrary probability measure in $\mathbf{R}^d$ relates to the wet part of that measure. This extends classical results for…

We prove large and moderate deviation principles for the distribution of an empirical mean conditioned by the value of the sum of discrete i.i.d. random variables. Some applications for combinatoric problems are discussed.

Randomness is an indispensable resource in modern science and information technology. Fortunately, an experimentally simple procedure exists to generate randomness with well-characterized devices: measuring a quantum system in a basis…

Suppose we are given two probability measures on the set of one-way infinite finite-alphabet sequences and consider the question when one of the measures predicts the other, that is, when conditional probabilities converge (in a certain…

We show first that there are intrinsic relationships among different conditions, old and recent, which lead to some general statements in both the Stieltjes and the Hamburger moment problems. Then we describe checkable conditions and prove…

Measurements of quantum systems can be used to generate classical data that is truly unpredictable for every observer. However, this true randomness needs to be discriminated from randomness due to ignorance or lack of control of the…
