Related papers: A note on recent criticisms to Birnbaum's theorem
Recently there have emerged an assortment of theorems relating to the 'absoluteness of emerged events,' and these results have sometimes been used to argue that quantum mechanics may involve some kind of metaphysically radical…
Recently, it has been stated that single-world interpretations of quantum theory are logically inconsistent. The claim is derived from contradicting statements of agents in a setup combining two Wigner's-friend experiments. Those statements…
This note is an extended review of the book Error and Inference, edited by Deborah Mayo and Aris Spanos, about their frequentist and philosophical perspective on testing of hypothesis and on the criticisms of alternatives like the Bayesian…
In this paper, we give a refinement of a theorem by Franks, which answers two questions raised by Kang.
Recently, Colbeck and Renner (2011) [arXiv:1005.5173] published a theorem that appears to be stronger than the Bell (1964) theorem in a way that is more significant than the other variations of Bell's theorem that have been published in the…
In this work, we state and prove versions of the linear and bilinear $T(b)$ theorems involving quantitative estimates, analogous to the quantitative linear $T(1)$ theorem due to Stein.
We provide a proof and a counterexample to two conjectures made by N. Kuznetsov.
In a recent publication [PRL 111, 160405 (2013)] we proved a version of Heisenberg's error-disturbance tradeoff. This result was in apparent contradiction to claims by Ozawa of having refuted these ideas of Heisenberg. In a direct reaction…
The simultaneous appearance in May 2003 of four books on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) provoked these reflections. We briefly discuss whether the RH should be added as a new axiom, or whether a proof of the RH might involve the notion of…
Some mathematical errors of the paper commented upon [W.-M. Suen, Phys. Rev. D 40, (1989) 315] are corrected.
In this paper, we give a counter-example, in the general case, Kronecker theorem will derive contradiction. Kronecker theorem be correct after removing some conditions.
In this paper, we give some further comments to the counterexample and the results of R.~K. Bisht in [R.~K. Bisht. \newblock {Comment on: A new fixed point theorem in the fractal space}. \newblock {\em Indag. Math. (N.S.)}, 29(2):819--823,…
The famous equivalence theorem is reexamined in order to make it applicable to the case of intrinsically quantum infinite-component effective theories. We slightly modify the formulation of this theorem and prove it basing on the notion of…
We remark on John Earman's paper ``Quantum Bayesianism Assessed'' [The Monist 102 (2019), 403--423], illustrating with a number of examples that the quantum ``interpretation'' Earman critiques and the interpretation known as QBism have…
In this short note, we discuss the Barndorff-Nielsen lemma, which is a generalization of well-known Borel-Cantelli lemma. Although the result stated in the Barndorff-Nielsen lemma is correct, it does not follow from the argument proposed in…
Recently I posted a paper entitled "External observer reflections on QBism". As any external observable, I was not able to reflect some features of QBism properly. Therefore comments which I received from one of its creators, C. Fuchs, are…
We provide brief answers to a number of recurring questions about the BMV effect and the related experimental proposal (Bose et al., 2017; Marletto and Vedral, 2017). Some of these questions include alleged counter-examples to our result,…
This note is a somewhat-lighthearted comment on a recent paper by David Wallace, arXiv:0906.2718[quant-ph] entitled "A formal proof of the Born rule from decision-theoretic assumptions".
Recent work on Bohr's reply to EPR has helped improve our understanding of Bohr's reply, but further work is needed. In this paper I do two things towards that end. First, I make some elementary points about EPR's argument, which help to…
Byrne and colleagues present a paper on a timely topic with potentially important results. However, we think that issues in the design and analysis complicate the interpretation and limit the generalizability of the findings. Specifically,…
