A central feature of quantum mechanics is the non-commutativity of operators used to describe physical observables. In this article, we present a critical analysis on the role of non-commutativity in quantum theory, focusing on its…
This review devoted to the centenary of Alexander Friedmann's prediction of the Universe expansion presents the results obtained by him in 1922 and 1924 and the sketch of their further developments. Special attention is paid to the role of…
This paper is an extended and reworked version of a short course given by the author at ''Uzbekistan-Ukrainian readings in stochastic processes'', Tashkent-Kyiv, 2022, and was prepared for a special issue of ''Theory of stochastic…
We survey the development of probability from 1900, starting with Bachelier's theory of speculation. Fisher information appears in the theory of estimation. We touch on Brownian motion, and the Wiener integral. The Ito calculus, and its…
Let $F \subseteq [0,1]$ be a set that supports a probability measure $\mu$ with the property that $ |\widehat{\mu}(t)| \ll (\log |t|)^{-A}$ for some constant $ A > 0 $. Let $\mathcal{A}= (q_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} $ be a sequence of natural…
"Ever since the advent of modern quantum mechanics in the late 1920's, the idea has been prevalent that the classical laws of probability cease, in some sense, to be valid in the new theory. [...] The primary object of this presentation is…
The aim of this article is twofold. First, we shall review and analyse the Neo-Kantian justification for the application of probabilistic concepts in physics that was defended by Hans Reichenbach early in his career, notably in his…
We study a new class of so-called quasi-infinitely divisible laws, which is a wide natural extension of the well known class of infinitely divisible laws through the L\'evy--Khinchine type representations. We are interested in criteria of…

This biographical account of the life and work of David Kendall includes details of his personal and professional activities. Kendall is probably best known for his work in applied probability, especially queueing theory, and in stochastic…
Recently, G.~Yanev obtained a characterization of the exponential family of distributions in terms of a functional equation for certain mixture densities. The purpose of this note is twofold: we extend Yanev's theorem by relaxing a…
To a higher Landau Level corresponds a generalization of the Poisson distribution arising from generalized coherent states. In this paper, we write down the atomic decomposition of this probability measure and expressed its weights through…
The following is an exposition of a course of algebra that Prof. Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Zykov (1922-2013) distributed among the participants of his seminar in graph theory not far away from Odessa, Ukraine, on September, 1991. It is a…
In literature on imprecise probability little attention is paid to the fact that imprecise probabilities are precise on a set of events. We call these sets systems of precision. We show that, under mild assumptions, the system of precision…
In the paper we provide measure estimates for the set of numbers whose sequence of products of continued fraction partial quotients $M_n = a_1 \ldots a_n$ has exponential growth with rate close to the one predicted by Khintchine's theorem,…
Complex continuous or mixed joint distributions (e.g., P(Y | z_1, z_2, ..., z_N)) generally lack closed-form solutions, often necessitating approximations such as MCMC. This paper proposes Indeterminate Probability Theory (IPT), which makes…
This article is on the research of Wilhelm von Waldenfels in the mathematical field of quantum (or non-commutative) probability theory. Wilhelm von Waldenfels was one of the pioneers, even one of the founders, of quantum probability. We…

Several probability distributions have been proposed in the literature, especially with the aim of obtaining models that are more flexible relative to the behaviors of the density and hazard rate functions. Recently, a new generalization of…
