From correlations in measurement outcomes alone, can two otherwise isolated parties establish whether such correlations are atemporal? That is, can they rule out that they have been given the same system at two different times? Classical…
The causal spacetimes admitting a covariantly constant null vector provide a connection between relativistic and non-relativistic physics. We explore this relationship in several directions. We start proving a formula which relates the…
We study cyclically monotone transport plans between measures in $\mathrm{M}_0(\mathbb{R}^d)$, the class of Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^d \setminus \{0\}$ that are finite on sets bounded away from the origin but may have infinite total…
We suggest a new way of defining optimal transport of positive-semidefinite matrix-valued measures. It is inspired by a recent rendering of the incompressible Euler equations and related conservative systems as concave maximization…
The $\kappa$-Minkoswki space-time provides a quantum noncommutative-deformation of the usual Minkowski space-time. However, a notion of causality is difficult to be defined in such a space with noncommutative time. In this paper, we define…
The measurement of time durations or instants of ocurrence of events has been frequently modelled ``operationally'' by coupling the system of interest to a ``clock''. According to several of these models the operational approach is limited…
Recent work of the author established dual representation theorems for certain vector spaces that arise in an important article of Allcock and Vaaler. These results constructed an object called a consistent map which acts like a measure on…
The dependencies of the lagged (Pearson) correlation function on the coefficients of multivariate autoregressive models are interpreted in the framework of time series graphs. Time series graphs are related to the concept of Granger…
By relating and ordering events, causality constitutes a pivotal feature of our world. On the one hand, there are information-theoretic notions of causality defined in terms of the information processing ability of agents and on the other…
We consider optimal transportation of measures on metric and topological spaces in the case where the cost function and marginal distributions depend on a parameter with values in a metric space. The Hausdorff distance between the sets of…
Causality is pivotal to our understanding of the world, presenting itself in different forms: information-theoretic and relativistic, the former linked to the flow of information, the latter to the structure of space-time. Leveraging a…
We focus on Borel measures that have a globally subanalytic density function. We prove, given such a measure $\mu$ on a set $A$ and a globally subanalytic mapping $\Phi:A\to \Omega$, with $\Omega$ bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, a…
After a synoptic panorama about some still unsolved foundational problems involving time-reversal, we show that the \emph{double time-reversal superselection rule} of Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics is redundant. We then analyze which,…
We prove that if $K$ is a compact space and the space $P(K\times K)$ of regular probability measures on $K\times K$ has countable tightness in its $weak^*$ topology, then $L_1(\mu)$ is separable for every $\mu\in P(K)$. It has been known…
We show how the Minkowskian space-time emerges from a topologically homogeneous causal network, presenting a simple analytical derivation of the Lorentz transformations, with metric as pure event-counting. The derivation holds generally for…
We present a new methodology and accompanying theory to test for separability of spatio-temporal functional data. In spatio-temporal statistics, separability is a common simplifying assumption concerning the covariance structure which, if…
Let $(M,\mathsf{d},\mathfrak{m},\ll,\leq,\tau)$ be a causally closed, $\mathscr{K}$-globally hyperbolic, regular measured Lorentzian geodesic space satisfying the weak timelike curvature-dimension condition $\smash{\mathrm{wTCD}_p^e(K,N)}$…
We consider defining time as a function of a cyclical field, an abstraction of a clock. The definition of time corresponds to a novel interpretation of the relationship between space-time coordinates of observers at different locations in…
Morse spacetime is a model of singular Lorentzian manifold, built upon a Morse function which serves as a global time function outside its critical points. The Borde-Sorkin conjecture states that a Morse spacetime is causally continuous if…
We extend the study of \emph{melonic} quartic tensor models to models with arbitrary quartic interactions. This extension requires a new version of the loop vertex expansion using several species of intermediate fields and iterated…
