The entropy $h(T_\alpha)$ of $\alpha$-continued fraction transformations is known to be locally monotone outside a closed, totally disconnected set $\EE$. We will exploit the explicit description of the fractal structure of $\EE$ to…

Entropy is useful in statistical problems as a measure of irreversibility, randomness, mixing, dispersion, and number of microstates. However, there remains ambiguity over the precise mathematical formulation of entropy, generalized beyond…

A function on a topological space is called unimodal if all of its super-level sets are contractible. A minimal unimodal decomposition of a function $f$ is the smallest number of unimodal functions that sum up to $f$. The problem of…

We show that the values of entropies of multidimensional shifts of finite type (SFTs) are characterized by a certain computation-theoretic property: a real number $h\geq 0$ is the entropy of such an SFT if and only if it is right…

For primes $\ell$ and nonnegative integers $a$, we study the partition functions $$p_\ell(a;n):= \#\{\lambda \vdash n : \text{ord}_\ell(H(\lambda))=a\},$$ where $H(\lambda)$ denotes the product of hook lengths of a partition $\lambda$.…

We introduce an entropy function for supersymmetric accelerating black holes in $AdS_4$, that uplift on general Sasaki-Einstein manifolds $X_7$ to solutions of M-theory. This allows one to compute the black hole entropy without knowing the…

For \Gamma a countable amenable group consider those actions of \Gamma as measure-preserving transformations of a standard probability space, written as {T_\gamma}_{\gamma \in \Gamma} acting on (X,{\cal F}, \mu). We say…

Let $p(\cdot)$ be a measurable function defined on a probability space satisfying $0<p_-:={\rm ess}\inf_{x\in \Omega}p(x)\leq {\rm ess}\sup_{x\in\Omega}p(x)=:p_+<\infty$. We investigate five types of martingale Hardy spaces $H_{p(\cdot)}$…

Given n (discrete or continuous) random variables X_i, the (2^n-1)-dimensional vector obtained by evaluating the joint entropy of all non-empty subsets of {X_1,...,X_n} is called an entropic vector. Determining the region of entropic…

This paper is concerned with two generalizations of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions that have more or less recently appeared. The Hopf algebra of noncommutative symmetric functions and its dual, the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric…

Conventional wisdom dictates that $\mathbb{Z}_N$ factors in the integral cohomology group $H^p(X_n, \mathbb{Z})$ of a compact manifold $X_n$ cannot be computed via smooth $p$-forms. We revisit this lore in light of the dimensional reduction…

A unified formulation of the density functional theory is constructed on the foundations of entropic inference in both the classical and the quantum regimes. The theory is introduced as an application of entropic inference for inhomogeneous…

A symmetric pseudo-Boolean function is a map from Boolean tuples to real numbers which is invariant under input variable interchange. We prove that any such function can be equivalently expressed as a power series or factorized. The kernel…

Solutions to Laplace's equation are called harmonic functions. Harmonic functions arise in many applications, such as physics and the theory of stochastic processes. Of interest classically are harmonic polynomials, which have a simple…

Let $\Pi_n$ denote the set of all set partitions of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. We consider two subsets of $\Pi_n$, one connected to rook theory and one associated with symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. Let $\cE_n\sbe\Pi_n$ be the…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface, $K_X \rightarrow X$ the canonical bundle, and $T_X= K_X^{-1}\rightarrow X$ the dual bundle of the canonical bundle. For each integer $r \geq 2$, each $q \in H^0(K_X^r)$, and each choice of the square root…

We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…

Entropy can signify different things: For instance, heat transfer in thermodynamics or a measure of information in data analysis. Many entropies have been introduced and it can be difficult to ascertain their different importance and…

Let $\alpha=\{a_1,a_2,a_3,...,a_n\}$ be a set of elements, $\delta < n$ be a non-negative integer, and $\Gamma: \alpha \to \{0, 1, 2, ..., n\}$ be a total mapping. Then, we call $\Gamma$ a \emph{partition} of $\alpha$ if and only if for all…

The paper introduces a notion of the Laplace operator of a polynomial p in noncommutative variables x=(x_1,...,x_g). The Laplacian Lap[p,h] of p is a polynomial in x and in a noncommuting variable h. When all variables commute we have…
