Let $\mu$ be a Gaussian measure on some measurable space $\{W=\{w\},{\mathcal{B}}(W)\}$ and let $\nu$ be a measure on the same space which is absolutely continuous with respect to $\nu$. The paper surveys results on the problem of…
We introduce a $W^*$-metric space, which is a particular approach to non-commutative metric spaces where a \textit{quantum metric} is defined on a von Neumann algebra. We generalize the notion of a quantum code and quantum error correction…

We present a method to calculate integrals over monomials of matrix elements with invariant measures in terms of Wick contractions. The method gives exact results for monomials of low order. For higher--order monomials, it leads to an error…
We introduce a novel spatio-temporal discretization for nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations on the multi-dimensional unit cube. This discretization is based on two structural properties of these equations: the first is the representation as a…
In this paper we study ergodicity and mixing property of some measure preserving transformations on the Wiener space (W,H,\mu) which are generated by some random unitary operators defined on the Cameron-Martin space H.

We give a proper fractional extension of the classical calculus of variations by considering variational functionals with a Lagrangian depending on a combined Caputo fractional derivative and the classical derivative. Euler-Lagrange…
We characterize Weihrauch reducibility in E-PA$^{\omega}$ + QF-AC$^{0,0}$ and all systems containing it by the provability in a linear variant of the same calculus using modifications of G\"odel's Dialectica interpretation that incorporate…
Invariance properties of classes in the variational sequence suggested to Krupka et al. the idea that there should exist a close correspondence between the notions of variationality of a differential form and invariance of its exterior…
The history of the elastica is examined through the works of various contributors, including those of Jacob and Daniel Bernoulli, since its first appearance in a 1690 contest on finding the profile of a hanging flexible cord. Emphasis will…
We introduce and study measures and densities (= geometric measures) on differentiable stacks, using a rather straightforward generalization of Haefliger's approach to leaf spaces and to transverse measures for foliations. In general we…

We study existence of invariant Einstein metrics on complex Stiefel manifolds $G/K = \SU(\ell+m+n)/\SU(n) $ and the special unitary groups $G = \SU(\ell+m+n)$. We decompose the Lie algebra $\frak g$ of $G$ and the tangent space $\frak p$ of…
We consider general difference equations $u_{n+1} = F(u)_n$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ on exponentially weighted $\ell_2$ spaces of two-sided Hilbert space valued sequences $u$ and discuss initial value problems. As an application of the…
We introduce a variational first-order Sobolev calculus on metric measure spacetimes. The key object is the maximal weak subslope of an arbitrary causal function, which plays the role of the (Lorentzian) modulus of its differential. It is…
Variance estimation is important for statistical inference. It becomes non-trivial when observations are masked by serial dependence structures and time-varying mean structures. Existing methods either ignore or sub-optimally handle these…
