In this paper, we study the large time behavior of solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in the $L^p$-type critical Besov spaces. Precisely, we show that if the initial data in the low frequencies additionally belong…

We derive new concentration bounds for time averages of measurement outcomes in quantum Markov processes. This generalizes well-known bounds for classical Markov chains which provide constraints on finite time fluctuations of time-additive…

We study finite-time spectral rigidity in reversible Markov chains via exact spectral relaxation dynamics. While the underlying identities follow classically from self-adjointness on $L^2(\pi)$, organizing the dynamics around the relaxation…

Let 0<\alpha<1/2. We show that the mixing time of a continuous-time reversible Markov chain on a finite state space is about as large as the largest expected hitting time of a subset of stationary measure at least \alpha of the state space.…

Vacuum-energy calculations with ideal reflecting boundaries are plagued by boundary divergences, which presumably correspond to real (but finite) physical effects occurring near the boundary. Our working hypothesis is that the stress tensor…

We study the condensation phenomenon for the invariant measures of the mean-field model of reversible coagulation-fragmentation processes conditioned to a supercritical density of particles. It is shown that when the parameters of the…

We prove that the absolute spectral gap of any monotone Markov chain coincides with its optimal Ollivier-Ricci curvature, where the word `optimal' refers to the choice of the underlying metric. Moreover, we provide a new expression in terms…

It is now well known that the performance of a linear code $C$ under iterative decoding on a binary erasure channel (and other channels) is determined by the size of the smallest stopping set in the Tanner graph for $C$. Several recent…

Asymmetric Numeral Systems (ANS) is a class of entropy encoders that had an immense impact on the data compression, substituting arithmetic and Huffman coding. It was studied by different authors but the precise asymptotics of its…

Lossy data compression lies at the heart of modern communication and storage systems. Shannon's rate-distortion theory provides the fundamental limit on how much a source can be compressed at a given fidelity, but it assumes infinitely long…

Assume that one observes the $k$th, $2k$th$,\ldots,nk$th value of a Markov chain $X_{1,h},\ldots,X_{nk,h}$. That means we assume that a high frequency Markov chain runs in the background on a very fine time grid but that it is only observed…

A lossy source code $\mathcal{C}$ with rate $R$ for a discrete memoryless source $S$ is called subset-universal if for every $0<R'< R$, almost every subset of $2^{nR'}$ of its codewords achieves average distortion close to the source's…
