We investigate the power of weak measurements in the framework of quantum state discrimination. First, we define and analyze the notion of weak consecutive measurements. Our main result is a convergence theorem whereby we demonstrate when…

Dark matter semi-annihilation is a process through which two dark matter candidates annihilate to a single dark matter particle and a non-dark matter particle. Such processes are common when the symmetry stabilizing the dark matter differs…

We show that the following are consistent with ZFC: 1. Strongly meager sets form an ideal with the same additivity as the ideal of meager sets. 2. There exists a strong measure zero set of size > d (dominating number).

A set X subseteq R is strongly meager if for every measure zero set H, X+H not= R. Let SM denote the collection of strongly meager sets. We show that assuming CH, SM is not an ideal.

We show that if points of supports of two discrete "not very thick" Fourier transformable measures on LCA groups tend to one another at infinity and the same is true for the masses at these points, then these measures coincide. The result…

Weak measurements are a new tool for characterizing post-selected quantum systems during their evolution. Weak measurement was originally formulated in terms of von Neumann interactions which are practically available for only the simplest…

We apply Heavy Quark Effective Theory to the production of $0^-$ and $1^-$ $Q\bar{q}$ states in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. We show that HQET implies that the electric quadrupole amplitudes vanish and we propose tests for this theory. We also…

We consider measures supported on sets of irrational numbers possessing many consecutive partial quotients satisfying a condition based on the previous partial quotients. We show that under mild assumptions, such sets will always support…

We prove general results about separation and weak$^\#$-convergence of boundedly finite measures on separable metric spaces and Souslin spaces. More precisely, we consider an algebra of bounded real-valued, or more generally a $*$-algebra…

If ZFC is consistent, then each of the following are consistent with ZFC + 2^{{aleph_0}}= aleph_2 : 1.) X subseteq R is of strong measure zero iff |X| <= aleph_1 + there is a generalized Sierpinski set. 2.) The union of aleph_1 many strong…

The paper contains two results pointing to the lack of symmetry between measure and category. Assume CH. There exists a strongly meager subset of the Cantor set that can be mapped onto the Cantor set by a uniformly continuous function. (It…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be an iterated function system in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with full support and some restrictions on the allowable rotations. We show that $\mathcal{S}$ satisfies the weak separation condition if and only if it satisfies the…

Let $(X,B)$ be a pair of a normal surface over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ and an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $B$ on $X$. We prove that Steenbrink-type vanishing holds for $(X,B)$ if it is log canonical and $p>5$, or it is…

For different classes of measure preserving transformations, we investigate collections of sets that exhibit the property of lightly mixing. Lightly mixing is a stronger property than topological mixing, and requires that a lim inf is…

We say a group is finitely annihilated if it is the set-theoretic union of all its proper normal finite index subgroups. We investigate this new property, and observe that it is independent of several other well known group properties. For…

We present and study new definitions of universal and programmable universal unary functions and consider a new simplicity criterion: almost decidability of the halting set. A set of positive integers S is almost decidable if there exists a…

We give a simple example of a set that is weakly Dedekind infinite (= can be mapped onto omega) but dually Dedekind finite (=cannot be mapped noninjectively onto itself), namely, the power set of a superamorphous set. (A infinite set is…

The dark matter annihilation cross section can be amplified by orders of magnitude if the annihilation occurs into a narrow resonance, or if the dark-matter particles experience a long-range force before annihilation (Sommerfeld effect). We…

We prove that an iterated function system of similarities on $\mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the weak separation condition and has an interval as its self-similar set satisfies the stronger generalized finite type condition. It is unknown if…

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of countable strongly annihilated ideal in commutative rings, in particular in rings of continuous functions. We show that a maximal ideal in $C(X)$ is countable strongly annihilated if and…
