This paper investigates d-dimensional CFTs in the presence of a codimension-one boundary and CFTs defined on real projective space RP^d. Our analysis expands on the alpha space method recently proposed for one-dimensional CFTs in…
In this paper we establish a direct connection between stable approximate unitary equivalence for $*$-homomorphisms and the topology of the KK-groups which avoids entirely C*-algebra extension theory and does not require nuclearity…
We provide pointwise upper bounds for the transition kernels of semigroups associated with a class of systems of nondegenerate elliptic partial differential equations with unbounded coefficients with possibly unbounded diffusion…
Heat kernels arise in a variety of contexts including probability, geometry, and functional analysis; the automorphic heat kernel is particularly important in number theory and string theory. The typical construction of an automorphic heat…
These notes provide a self-contained introduction to kernel methods and their geometric foundations in machine learning. Starting from the construction of Hilbert spaces, we develop the theory of positive definite kernels, reproducing…
Distances in the conformal manifold, the space of CFTs related by marginal deformations, can be measured in terms of the Zamolodchikov metric. Part of the CFT Distance Conjecture posits that points in this manifold where part of the…
In a previous study (quant-ph/9911058), several remarkably simple exact results were found, in certain specialized m-dimensional scenarios (m<5), for the a priori probability that a pair of qubits is unentangled/separable. The measure used…
This paper is devoted to a study of $S$-curves, that is systems of curves in the complex plane whose equilibrium potential in a harmonic external field satisfies a special symmetry property ($S$-property). Such curves have many…
A slight modification of the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform is an automorphism on the vector space of polynomials. The action of this $KL_{\alpha}$-transform over certain polynomial sequences will be under discussion, and a special attention…
We introduce \`a la Vasilevski the weighted poly-Bergman spaces in the unit disc and provide concrete orthonormal basis and give close expression of their reproducing kernel. The main tool in the description if these spaces is the so-called…
Discrete analogs of the Lebedev-Skalskaya transforms are introduced and investigated. It involves series and integrals with respect to the kernels ${\rm Re} K_{\alpha+in}(x), {\rm Im} K_{\alpha+in}(x), x >0, n \in \mathbb{N}, |\alpha | <…
The domain-independent universal Normalized Information Distance based on Kolmogorov complexity has been (in approximate form) successfully applied to a variety of difficult clustering problems. In this paper we investigate theoretical…
We show that slight modifications of the Kontorovich-Lebedev transform lead to an automorphism of the vector space of polynomials. This circumstance along with the Mellin transformation property of the modified Bessel functions perform the…
We introduce the Yat kernel $$k_{b,\varepsilon}(\mathbf{w},\mathbf{x})=\frac{(\mathbf{w}^\top\mathbf{x}+b)^2}{\|\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{w}\|^2+\varepsilon},\qquad b\ge 0,\ \varepsilon>0,$$ a rational hidden-unit primitive whose units are Mercer…
It is known that spheres have negative type, but only subsets with at most one pair of antipodal points have strict negative type. These are conditions on the (angular) distances within any finite subset of points. We show that subsets with…
Building off work of Farenick and Rahaman, we extend the definition of the density space and the Bures metric to the setting of non-unital C*-algebras equipped with a faithful trace and prove that the Bures metric is also a metric in this…
The inner geometry induced by the Bures distance function on the state space of a unital C*-algebra, or on parts of it, is considered in detail. As a key result the local dilation function is calculated at a state when the state argument is…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the real plane contained in an algebraic curve $C$ of degree $d$. We prove that the number of distinct distances determined by $P$ is at least $c_d n^{4/3}$, unless $C$ contains a line or a circle. We also…
In this paper we study hermitian kernels invariant under the action of a semigroup with involution. We characterize those hermitian kernels which realize the given action by bounded operators on a Krein space. Applications to the GNS…
Kernel mean embeddings are a popular tool that consists in representing probability measures by their infinite-dimensional mean embeddings in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. When the kernel is characteristic, mean embeddings can be used…
