For prime powers q, let s(q) denote the probability that a randomly-chosen principally-polarized abelian surface over the finite field F_q is not simple. We show that there are positive constants B and C such that for all q, B (log…
Cantor sets of integers have a rich set of arithmetic combinatorial properties. We consider classical Cantor sets, with a base and a fixed set of allowed digits. For such sets, we (a) give examples of such sets that satisfy the intersective…
Often it is assumed that a quantum state or a phase-space distribution must be normalizable. Here it is shown that even if it is not normalizable, one may be able to extract normalized observational probabilities from it.
We define a random Liouville function (\lambda_Q) which depends on a random set (Q) of primes and prove that (A_Q = \{n \in \mathbb{N} | \lambda_Q(n) = -1 \}) is normal almost everywhere. This fact enables us to generate a family of normal…
We study a bijective map from integer partitions to the prime factorizations of integers that we call the "supernorm" of a partition, in which the multiplicities of the parts of partitions are mapped to the multiplicities of prime factors…
In \cite{SchmidtGames}, W. Schmidt proved that the set of non-normal numbers in base $b$ is a {\it winning set}. We generalize this result by proving that many sets of non-normal numbers with respect to the Cantor series expansion are…
A real number is called left-computable if there exists a computable increasing sequence of rational numbers converging to it. In this article we are investigating a proper subset of the left-computable numbers. We say that a real number…
Adler, Keane, and Smorodinsky showed that if one concatenates the finite continued fraction expansions of the sequence of rationals \[ \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, \cdots \] into…
Generic computability has been studied in group theory and we now study it in the context of classical computability theory. A set A of natural numbers is generically computable if there is a partial computable function f whose domain has…
We study a class of square matrices with non-negative elements which have cyclically monotone rows in the sense that each row of a matrix from the class consists of a cyclically non-increasing sequence of numbers starting from a maximal…
Probability distributions supported on the simplex enjoy a wide range of applications across statistics and machine learning. Recently, a novel family of such distributions has been discovered: the continuous categorical. This family enjoys…
We recall some classical results relating normality and some natural weakenings of normality in $\Psi$-spaces over almost disjoint families of branches in the Cantor tree to special sets of reals like $Q$-sets, $\lambda$-sets and…
Piecewise quasipolynomial growth of Presburger counting functions combines with tame persistent homology module theory to conclude piecewise quasipolynomial behavior of constructible families of finely graded modules over constructible…
We study the relation between quantum computational complexity and general relativity. The quantum computational complexity is proposed to be quantified by the shortest length of geodesic quantum curves. We examine the complexity/volume…
A real number $x$ is normal with respect to an integer base $b \geq 2$ if its digit expansion in this base is ``equitable'', in the sense that for $k \geq 1$, every ordered sequence of $k$ digits from $\{0, 1, \ldots, b-1\}$ occurs in the…
Champernowne famously proved that the number $0.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)...$ formed by concatenating all the integers one after another is normal base 10. We give a generalization of Champernowne's construction to various…
We develop a higher order generalization of the LQ decomposition and show that this decomposition plays an important role in likelihood-based estimation and testing for separable, or Kronecker structured, covariance models, such as the…
Our primary result concerns the positivity of specific kernels constructed using the $q$-ultraspherical polynomials. In other words, it concerns a two-parameter family of bivariate, compactly supported distributions. Moreover, this family…
We introduce a new class of "random" subsets of natural numbers, WM sets. This class contains normal sets (sets whose characteristic function is a normal binary sequence). We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of…
We construct the most general form of our previously proposed nonlinear extension of quantum mechanics that possesses three basic properties. Unlike the simpler model, the new version is not completely integrable, but it has an underlying…
