We derive the gravitational Hamiltonian starting from the Gauss-Bonnet action, keeping track of all surface terms. This is done using the language of orthonormal frames and forms to keep things as tidy as possible. The surface terms in the…

The possibility of treating boundary conditions in terms of a bilocal dynamical field is formalized in terms of a boundary action. This allows for a simple path-integral perturbation theory approach to physical effects such as radiation…

We propose a new definition of "horizon molecules" in Causal Set Theory following pioneering work by Dou and Sorkin. The new concept applies for any causal horizon and its intersection with any spacelike hypersurface. In the continuum…

Suppose a spacetime $M$ is a quotient of a spacetime $V$ by a discrete group of isometries. It is shown how causality conditions in the two spacetimes are related, and how can one learn about the future causal boundary on $M$ by studying…

The coupling constants of fixed points in the $\epsilon$ expansion at one loop are known to satisfy a quadratic bound due to Rychkov and Stergiou. We refer to fixed points that saturate this bound as extremal fixed points. The theories…

The angular bispectrum of spherical random fields has recently gained an enormous importance, especially in connection with statistical inference on cosmological data. In this paper, we provide expressions for its moments of arbitrary order…

Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or…

We give a general existence result for interacting particle systems with local interactions and bounded jump rates but noncompact state space at each site. We allow for jump events at a site that affect the state of its neighbours. We give…

We consider variational problems with regular H{\"o}lderian weight or boundary singularity, and Dirichlet condition. We prove the boundedness of the volume of the solutions to these equations on analytic domains.

I explain a simple definition of causality in widespread use, and indicate how it links to the Kramers Kronig relations. The specification of causality in terms of temporal differential eqations then shows us the way to write down dynamical…

The Poisson boundary of a group G with a probability measure \mu is the space of ergodic components of the time shift in the path space of the associated random walk. Via a generalization of the classical Poisson formula it gives an…

We investigate yet another approach to understand the limit behaviour of Brownian motion conditioned to stay within a tubular neighbourhood around a closed and connected submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. In this context, we identify a…

For causal graphs we propose a definition of proper time which for small scales is based on the concept of volume, while for large scales the usual definition of length is applied. The scale where the change from "volume" to "length" occurs…

Reactivity boundaries that divide the origin and destination of trajectories are crucial of importance to reveal the mechanism of reactions, which was recently found to exist robustly even at high energies for index-one saddles [Phys. Rev.…

When the limiting compensator of a sequence of martingales is continuous, we obtain a weak convergence theorem for the martingales; the limiting process can be written as a Brownian motion evaluated at the compensator and we find sufficient…

A new family of stable processes indexed by metric spaces with stationary increments are introduced. They are special cases of a new family of set-indexed stable processes with Chentsov representation. At the heart of the representation, a…

A causal query will commonly not be identifiable from observed data, in which case no estimator of the query can be contrived without further assumptions or measured variables, regardless of the amount or precision of the measurements of…

We prove a \(\Gamma\)-convergence result for a diffeomorphism-natural discrete MDL-type functional to the Einstein-Hilbert action with the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term. On boundary-fitted, shape-regular meshes we establish interior…

In the present paper, we consider the family of all compact Alexandrov spaces with curvature bound below having a definite upper diameter bound of a fixed dimension. We introduce the notion of essential coverings by contractible metric…

We study linear systems of ordinary differential equations of an arbitrary order on a finite interval with the most general (generic) inhomogeneous boundary conditions in Sobolev spaces. We investigate the character of solvability of…
