Recent one-loop calculations of certain supergravity-mediated quantum corrections in supersymmetric brane-world models employ either the component formulation (hep-th/0305184) or the superfield formalism with only half of the bulk…
The difference between a model forecast and actual observations is called forecast bias. This bias is due to either incomplete model assumptions and/or poorly known parameter values and initial/boundary conditions. In this paper we discuss…
This technical report presents a direct proof of Theorem~1 in [1] and some consequences that also account for (20) in [1]. This direct proof exploits a state space change of basis which replaces the coupled difference equations (10) in [1]…
Let ${\mathcal A}$ be a nonempty real central arrangement of hyperplanes and ${\rm \bf Ch}$ be the set of chambers of ${\mathcal A}$. Each hyperplane $H$ defines a half-space $H^{+} $ and the other half-space $H^{-}$. Let $B = \{+, -\}$.…
Datalog reasoning based on the semina\"ive evaluation strategy evaluates rules using traditional join plans, which often leads to redundancy and inefficiency in practice, especially when the rules are complex. Hypertree decompositions help…
Scalar field models of inflation based on a large nonminimal coupling to gravity xi, in particular, Higgs inflation, may violate unitarity at an energy scale ~ M_p / xi << M_p. In this case the model is incomplete at energy scales relevant…
In an earlier paper, "Omega-inconsistency in Goedel's formal system: a constructive proof of the Entscheidungsproblem" (math/0206302), I argued that a constructive interpretation of Goedel's reasoning establishes any formal system of…
Expectation Propagation (EP) provides a framework for approximate inference. When the model under consideration is over a latent Gaussian field, with the approximation being Gaussian, we show how these approximations can systematically be…
In this paper, we present a novel approach to construct multiclass classifiers by means of arrangements of hyperplanes. We propose different mixed integer (linear and non linear) programming formulations for the problem using extensions of…
This paper investigates and evaluates support vector machine active learning algorithms for use with imbalanced datasets, which commonly arise in many applications such as information extraction applications. Algorithms based on…
The aim of this note is to point out some inaccuracies in our paper \cite{HD} and to fix them. Some new notions are introduced and properties of them are investigated.
The Halting Problem is ill-conceived and ill-defined.
Current approaches to expert systems' reasoning under uncertainty fail to capture the iterative revision process characteristic of intelligent human reasoning. This paper reports on a system, called the Non-monotonic Probabilist, or NMP…
For $p$ prime, let $\mathcal{H}^n$ be the linear span of characteristic functions of hyperplanes in $(\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z})^n$. We establish new upper bounds on the dimension of $\mathcal{H}^n$ over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, or…
In this paper, we show how a power-law correction to the Einstein-Hilbert action provides a viable modified theory of gravity, passing the Solar-System tests, when the exponent is between the values 2 and 3. Then, we implement this paradigm…
We study a generalized 8-vertex model where the vertices are coupled to a locally varying field. We rewrite the partition function as an integral over Grassmann variables. In this form it is possible to explicitly evaluate all terms of the…
This paper has a flaw in an argument that uses the weak-* convergence of measures. The paper was replaced by "Entropy and Its Variational Principle for Locally Compact Metrizable Systems", by the same authors.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a mistake in the section 4.
To every realizable oriented matroid there corresponds an arrangement of real hyperplanes. The homeomorphism type of the complexified complement of such an arrangement is completely determined by the oriented matroid. In this paper we study…
A systematic program is developed for analyzing and cancelling local anomalies on networks of intersecting orbifold planes in the context of M-theory. Through a delicate balance of factors, it is discovered that local anomaly matching on…
