The review presents rigorous results of the theory of fundamental equations of evolution of many-particle systems with collisions and also considers their connection with nonlinear kinetic equations describing the collective behavior of…
The relations between Bell's inequality and quantum probability trees are explained against the background offered by the concept of a quantum probability tree built in others works. It is shown that f we use a concept of probability tree…
The recently proposed probability representation of quantum mechanics is generalized to quantum field theory. We introduce a probability distribution functional for field configurations and find an evolution equation for such a…
In Jurek 1985 and 1988 the random integral representations conjecture was stated. It claims that (some) limit laws can be written as probability distributions of random integrals of the form $\int_{(a,b]}h(t)dY_{\nu}(r(t))$, for some…
We focus on the Tauberian work for which Jaap Korevaar is best known, together with its connections with probability theory. We begin (Section 1) with a brief sketch of the field up to Beurling's work. We follow with three sections on…
Published exactly seventy years ago, Jeffreys's Theory of Probability (1939) has had a unique impact on the Bayesian community and is now considered to be one of the main classics in Bayesian Statistics as well as the initiator of the…
In this paper we establish the convergence case of Khintchine's theorem for affine hyperplanes in function field of positive characteristic. Along with that, we also prove a quantitative version of the same. The main technique used in the…
The goal is to identify the class of distributions to which the distribution of the maximum of a L\'evy process with no negative jumps and negative mean (equivalently, the stationary distribution of the reflected process) belongs. An…
The probabilistic predictions of quantum theory are conventionally obtained from a special probabilistic axiom. But that is unnecessary because all the practical consequences of such predictions follow from the remaining, non-probabilistic,…
We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…
Yuri L'vovich Klimontovich (28.09.1924--26.10.2002) was an outstanding theoretical physicist who made major contributions to kinetic theory. On the occasion of his 100th birthday we recall his main scientific achievements.
We give a probabilistic analysis of inductive knowledge and belief and explore its predictions concerning knowledge about the future, about laws of nature, and about the values of inexactly measured quantities. The analysis combines a…
Normalized free semi-circular random variables satisfy an upper Khintchine inequality in $L_\infty$. We show that this implies the corresponding upper Khintchine inequality in any noncommutative Banach function space. As applications, we…
We use the fact that some linear Hamiltonian systems can be considered as ``finite level'' quantum systems, and the description of quantum mechanics in terms of probabilities, to associate probability distributions with this particular…
Given a monotonically decreasing $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,\infty)$, Khintchine's Theorem provides an efficient tool to decide whether, for almost every $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there are infinitely many $(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ such that…
The purpose of this article is twofold: to prove a pointwise equidistribution theorem with an error rate for almost smooth functions, which strengthens the main result of Kleinbock, Shi and Weiss (2017); and to obtain a L\'evy-Khintchin…
This is the editors' preface to the volume "Operator theory and its applications, in memory of V. B. Lidskii (1924-2008)". The volume was published by the American Mathematical Society in the series AMS Translations, series 2, volume 231…
Here we present in a single essay a combination and completion of the several aspects of the problem of randomness of individual objects which of necessity occur scattered in our texbook "An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its…
In this paper, we derive new probability bounds for Chebyshev's inequality if the supremum of the probability density function is known. This result holds for one-dimensional or multivariate continuous probability distributions with finite…
The classical Khintchine-Groshev theorem is a generalization of Khintchine's theorem on simultaneous Diophantine approximation, from approximation of points in $\mathbb R^m$ to approximation of systems of linear forms in $\mathbb R^{nm}$.…
