The entropy power inequality (EPI) provides lower bounds on the differential entropy of the sum of two independent real-valued random variables in terms of the individual entropies. Versions of the EPI for discrete random variables have…

Chater and MacKay [CM] derived an entropy function of state for exchange economies satisfying a list of axioms, and showed that a change of state of a system of such economies is possible if and only if their total entropy does not…

This article has two purposes. In \cite{R3} (math.KT/0405211) we showed that the FIC (Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for pseudoisotopy functor) for a particular class of 3-manifolds (we denoted this class by \cal C) is the key to prove the…

The causal entropy bound (CEB) is confronted with recent explicit entropy calculations in weakly and strongly coupled conformal field theories (CFTs) in arbitrary dimension $D$. For CFT's with a large number of fields, $N$, the CEB is found…

In this paper we apply the $L$-function Ratios Conjecture to compute the one-level density for a symplectic family of $L$-functions attached to Hecke characters of infinite order. When the support of the Fourier transform of the…

We prove that, given a constant $K> 2$ and a bounded linear operator $T$ from a JB$^*$-triple $E$ into a complex Hilbert space $H$, there exists a norm-one functional $\psi\in E^*$ satisfying $$\|T(x)\| \leq K \, \|T\| \, \|x\|_{\psi},$$…

Researchers in physical science aim to uncover universal features in strongly interacting many-body systems, often hidden in complicated observables like entanglement entropy (EE). The non-local nature of EE makes it challenging to compute…

We investigate the influences of variables on a Boolean function $f$ based on the quantum Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm. A previous paper (Floess et al. in Math. Struct. in Comp. Science 23: 386, 2013) has proved that if a $n$-variable…

Let f:{-1,1}^n -> R be a real function on the hypercube, given by its discrete Fourier expansion, or, equivalently, represented as a multilinear polynomial. We say that it is Boolean if its image is in {-1,1}. We show that every function on…

We study two conjectures posed in the analysis of Boolean functions $f : \{-1, 1\}^n \to \{-1, 1\}$, in both of which, the Majority function plays a central role: the "Majority is Least Stable" (Benjamini et al., 1999) and the…

We show that there is equality in Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) if and only if the random variables involved are Gaussian, assuming nothing beyond the existence of differential entropies. This is done by justifying de Bruijn's…

When two independent analog signals, X and Y are added together giving Z=X+Y, the entropy of Z, H(Z), is not a simple function of the entropies H(X) and H(Y), but rather depends on the details of X and Y's distributions. Nevertheless, the…

The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…

A density function for an algebraic invariant is a measurable function on $\mathbb{R}$ which measures the invariant on an $\mathbb{R}$-scale. This function carries a lot more information related to the invariant without seeking extra data.…

Entanglement entropy~(EE) contains signatures of many universal properties of conformal field theories~(CFTs), especially in the presence of boundaries or defects. In particular, {\it topological} defects are interesting since they reflect…

An old and well-known conjecture of Frankl and F\"{u}redi states that the Lagrangian of an $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges is maximised by an initial segment of colex. In this paper we disprove this conjecture by finding an infinite…

Let {\Lambda}\subsetR^{n}\timesR^{m} and k be a positive integer. Let f:R^{n}\rightarrowR^{m} be a locally bounded map such that for each ({\xi},{\eta})\in{\Lambda}, the derivatives D_{{\xi}}^{j}f(x):=|((d^{j})/(dt^{j}))f(x+t{\xi})|_{t=0},…

The Ratios Conjecture of Conrey, Farmer and Zirnbauer predicts the answers to numerous questions in number theory, ranging from n-level densities and correlations to mollifiers to moments and vanishing at the central point. The conjecture…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field, $X$ a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb{K}$ and $f:X\rightarrow X$ a dominant regular morphism. Let $N^i(X)$ be the group of algebraic cycles modulo numerical equivalence. Let $\chi…

While most useful information theoretic inequalities can be deduced from the basic properties of entropy or mutual information, Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI) seems to be an exception: available information theoretic proofs of the…
