It is shown how operator regularization can be used to obtain an expansion of the effective action in powers of derivatives of the background field. This is applied to massless scalar electrodynamics to find the one-loop corrections to the…

Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space $\ch$, and $\a:\{1,..., 2k\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a pair partition. Then the ergodic average $$ \frac{1}{N^{k}}\sum_{n_{1},...,n_{k}=0}^{N-1} U^{n_{\a(1)}}A_{1}U^{n_{\a(2)}}...…

Recently, the supersymmetry method was extended from Gaussian ensembles to arbitrary unitarily invariant matrix ensembles by generalizing the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation. Here, we complete this extension by including arbitrary…

Different cases of sequences of the Laplace Transformations for the 2D Schrodinger operator in the periodic magnetic field and electric potential are considered. They lead to the exactly solvable operators with nonstandard spectral…

We provide an exact expression of the moment of the partition function for random energy models of finite system size, generalizing an earlier expression for a grand canonical version of the discrete random energy model presented by the…

An algorithm for solving smooth nonconvex optimization problems is proposed that, in the worst-case, takes $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-3/2})$ iterations to drive the norm of the gradient of the objective function below a prescribed positive…

Suppose $\sigma$ is the shift acting on Bernoulli space $X=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$, and, consider a fixed function $f:X \to \mathbb{R}$, under the Waters's conditions (defined in a paper in ETDS 2007). For each real value $t\geq 0$ we consider…

In this article, we present a method for approximating affine processes on the cone of positive Hilbert-Schmidt operators using matrix-valued affine processes. By leveraging results from the theory on affine processes with values in the…

We study the linear dynamics of the random sequence $(T_n(.))_{n \geq 1}$ of the operators $T_n(\omega) = T(\tau^{n-1}\omega) \dotsm T(\tau \omega) T(\omega), n \geq 1$. These products depend on an ergodic measure-preserving transformation…

The main topic of this present thesis is the study of the asymptotic behaviour of sequences modulo 1. In particular, by using ergodic and dynamical methods, a new insight to problems concerning the asymptotic behaviour of multidimensional…

The theory of ergodic optimization for distance-expanding maps is extended to Gauss's continued fraction map. Since the set of invariant probability measures is not weak$^*$ closed, we establish a characterisation of the closure of this…

We use world-line methods for pseudo-supersymmetry to construct $sl(2|1)$-invariant actions for the $(2,2,0)$ chiral and ($1,2,1)$ real supermultiplets of the twisted $D$-module representations of the $sl(2|1)$ superalgebra. The derived…

We study the expressive power of subrecursive probabilistic higher-order calculi. More specifically, we show that endowing a very expressive deterministic calculus like G\"odel's $\mathbb{T}$ with various forms of probabilistic choice…

This paper has two themes that are intertwined: The first is the dynamics of certain piecewise affine maps on the Euclidean space that arise from a class of analog-to-digital conversion methods called Sigma-Delta quantization. The second is…

We use a model operator approach and the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space to derive the basic results of abstract left-definite theory in a straightforward manner. The theory is amply illustrated with a variety…

We obtain spectral estimates for the iterations of Ruelle operator $L_{f + (a + \i b)\tau + (c + \i d) g}$ with two complex parameters and H\"{o}lder functions $f,\: g$ generalizing the case $\Pr(f) =0$ studied in [PeS2]. As an application…

Let $T$ be a power bounded Hilbert space operator without unimodular eigenvalues. We show that the subsequential ergodic averages $N^{-1}\sum_{n=1}^N T^{a_n}$ converge in the strong operator topology for a wide range of sequences $(a_n)$,…

The problem of objectively choosing a string of actions to optimize an objective function that is string submodular has been considered in [1]. There it is shown that the greedy strategy, consisting of a string of actions that only locally…

We prove $\ell^p\big(\mathbb Z^d\big)$ bounds, for $p\in(1, \infty)$, of discrete maximal functions corresponding to averaging operators and truncated singular integrals of Radon type, and their applications to pointwise ergodic theory. Our…

In the SU(5)/SO(5) little Higgs models radiative corrections give rise to the SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y symmetry breaking. In this work we start a program for a detailed determination of the relevant terms of the Higgs effective potential by…
