The proofs of Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 4.1 in Le\~ao and Ohashi (2013) are incomplete. The reason is a wrong statement in Remark 2.2. The hypotheses and statements of Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 4.1 in Le\~ao and Ohashi (2013) remain…
Bianchi and Don\`{a} [1] have recently reported a proof to the variance formula of von Neumann entropy, which was conjectured in [2] and firstly proved in [3]. The purpose of this short note is to show that, despite having a different…
We show that the theorems in Hansen (2021a) (the version accepted by Econometrica), except for one, are not new as they coincide with classical theorems like the good old Gauss-Markov or Aitken Theorem, respectively; the exceptional theorem…
This note was written in Jan. 23, 2015 to answer a problem raised by G. Moser, who asked a constructive proof of a theorem by Ferreira-Zantema.
In a recent note Ellis criticizes varying speed of light theories on the grounds of a number of foundational issues. His reflections provide us with an opportunity to clarify some fundamental matters pertaining to these theories.
In this paper we provide an application to the Neumann problem of a recent three critical points theorem.
This note presents two ideas. The first one is that quantum theory has a fundamentally perturbative basis but leads to nonperturbative states which it would seem natural to take into account in the foundation of a theory of quantum…
Our objective in this note is to comment briefly on the newly emerging literature on computer-aided proofs in Social Choice Theory. We shall specifically comment on two papers, one by Tang and Lin (2009) and another by Geist and Endriss…
In P\"otscher and Preinerstorfer (2022) and in the abridged version P\"otscher and Preinerstorfer (2024, published in Econometrica) we have tried to clear up the confusion introduced in Hansen (2022a) and in the earlier versions Hansen…
In this note we give two proofs of Brooks' Theorem. The first is obtained by modifying an earlier proof and the second by combining two earlier proofs. We believe these proofs are easier to teach in Computer Science courses.
We comment on the validity of Noether's theorem and on the conclusions of [J. Math. Phys. 61 (2020), no. 11, 113502].
We give a proof of a result of Bonet, Engli\v{s} and Taskinen filling in several details and correcting some flaws.
An analysis is made of Deutsch's recent claim to have derived the Born rule from decision-theoretic assumptions. It is argued that Deutsch's proof must be understood in the explicit context of the Everett interpretation, and that in this…
We study \L o\'s's theorem in a choiceless context. We introduce some variants of \L o\'s's theorem. These variants seem weaker than \L o\'s's theorem, but we prove that these are equivalent to \L o\'s's theorem.
We consider some critical claims concerning our above paper, and reply to these claims.
Journe's Lemma is a critical component of many questions related to the product ${BMO}$ theory of S.-Y. Chang and R. Fefferman. This article presents several different variants of the Lemma, some known, some implicit in the literature, and…
Ogburn et al. (2019, arXiv:1910.05438) discuss "The Blessings of Multiple Causes" (Wang and Blei, 2018, arXiv:1805.06826). Many of their remarks are interesting. But they also claim that the paper has "foundational errors" and that its…
Different theoretical and experimental aspects of electromagnetic phenomena in media is reviewed. The 100 year old Minkowski theory is in agreement with most experiments, but has theoretical problems related to its implied validity in all…
We refute criticisms by Del Santo and Horvat towards our paper "Quantum principle of relativity": most of their counterarguments can be dismissed, and the rest provides further evidence to our claims.
In a recent article, Khrennikov claims that a particular theorem about agreement between quantum measurement results poses a problem for the interpretation of quantum mechanics known as QBism. Considering the basic setup of that theorem in…
