A relation algebra is measurable if the identity element is a sum of atoms, and the square x;1;x of each subidentity atom x is a sum of non-zero functional elements. These functional elements form a group Gx. We prove that a measurable…

To begin with, it is pointed out that the form of the quantum probabil- ity formula originates in the very initial state of the object system as seen when the state is expanded with the eigen-projectors of the measured ob- servable. Making…

Let $S$ be the multiplicative semigroup of $q\times q$ matrices with positive entries such that every row and every column contains a strictly positive element. Denote by $(X_n)_{n\geq1}$ a sequence of independent identically distributed…

A new finite form of de Finetti's representation theorem is established using elementary information-theoretic tools. The distribution of the first $k$ random variables in an exchangeable vector of $n\geq k$ random variables is close to a…

So-called direct measurements of entanglement are collective measurements on multiple copies of a (bipartite or multipartite) quantum system that directly provide one a value for some entanglement measure, such as the concurrence for…

We consider a quantum probe $P$ undergoing pure dephasing due to its interaction with a quantum system $S$. The dynamics of $P$ is then described by a well-defined sub-algebra of operators of $S,$ i.e. the "accessible" algebra on $S$ from…

This paper establishes the theoretical foundations for the asymptotic separability of Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) in high dimensions by extending the classical Feldman-H\'ajek theorem. We first prove that a countable mixture of Gaussian…

Given a determinate (multivariate) probability measure $\mu$, we characterize Gaussian mixtures $\nu\_\phi$ which minimize the Wasserstein distance $W\_2(\mu,\nu\_\phi)$ to $\mu$ when the mixing probability measure $\phi$ on the parameters…

We review old and new uses of exchangeability, emphasizing the general theme of exchangeable representations of complex random structures. Illustrations of this theme include processes of stochastic coalescence and fragmentation; continuum…

A sequence of random variables is called \textit{exchangeable} if its joint distribution is invariant under permutations of indices. The original formulation of de Finetti's theorem roughly says that any exchangeable sequence of…

We develop a framework for the operationalization of models and parameters by combining de Finetti's representation theorem with a conditional form of Sanov's theorem. This synthesis, the tilted de Finetti theorem, shows that conditioning…

The Mallows measure on the symmetric group $S_n$ is the probability measure such that each permutation has probability proportional to $q$ raised to the power of the number of inversions, where $q$ is a positive parameter and the number of…

We consider the random matrix model $X_n = P_n + i Q_n$, where $P_n$ and $Q_n$ are independently Haar-unitary rotated Hermitian matrices with at most $2$ atoms in their spectra. Let $(M, \tau)$ be a tracial von Neumann algebra and let $p, q…

Let $f(n)$ be a strongly additive complex valued arithmetic function. Under mild conditions on $f$, we prove the following weighted strong law of large numbers: if $ X,X_1,X_2,... $ is any sequence of integrable i.i.d. random variables,…

We prove a version of Sylvester's law of inertia for the Reflection Equation Algebra (=REA). We will only be concerned with the REA constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the standard $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$. For $q$…

We construct "stochastic mappings" between power law probability distributions (PD's) and Gaussian ones. To a given vector $N$, Gaussian distributed (respectively $Z$, exponentially distributed), one can associate a vector $X$, "power law…

We show that any sequence of measurements on a permutationally-symmetric (pure or mixed) multi-qubit string leaves the unmeasured qubit substring also permutationally-symmetric. In addition, we show that the measurement probabilities for an…

For two collections of nonnegative and suitably normalised weights $\W=(\W_j)$ and $\V=(\V_{n,k})$, a probability distribution on the set of partitions of the set $\{1,...,n\}$ is defined by assigning to a generic partition $\{A_j, j\leq…

Let $V$ be a left vector space over a division ring and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets $X\subset V$ such that every permutation on $X$ can be extended to a linear automorphism of $V$…

We investigate the relationship between multipartite entanglement and symmetry, focusing on permutation symmetric states. We use the Majorana representation, where these states correspond to points on a sphere. Symmetry of the…
