We study notions of robustness of Markov kernels and probability distribution of a system that is described by $n$ input random variables and one output random variable. Markov kernels can be expanded in a series of potentials that allow to…
String models are designed to provide a covariant description of internal space-time structure of relativistic particles. The string is a limiting case of a series of massive beads like a pearl necklace. In the limit of infinite-number of…
In this paper we extend Stein's method to the distribution of the product of $n$ independent mean zero normal random variables. A Stein equation is obtained for this class of distributions, which reduces to the classical normal Stein…
Stein importance sampling is a widely applicable technique based on kernelized Stein discrepancy, which corrects the output of approximate sampling algorithms by reweighting the empirical distribution of the samples. A general analysis of…
We extend Stein's lemma for averages that explicitly contain the Gaussian random variable at a power. We present two proofs for this extension of Stein's lemma, with the first being a rigorous proof by mathematical induction. The…
A quantitative "fourth moment theorem" is provided for any self-adjoint element in a homogeneous Wigner chaos: the Wasserstein distance is controlled by the distance from the fourth moment to two. The proof uses the free counterpart of the…
First we identify the free algebras of the class of algebras of binary relations equipped with the composition and domain operations. Elements of the free algebras are pointed labelled finite rooted trees. Then we extend to the analogous…
We prove a free analogue of Brillinger's formula (sometimes called "law of total cumulance") which expresses classical cumulants in terms of conditioned cumulants. As expected, the formula is obtained by replacing the lattice of set…
This paper aims to give a probabilistic construction of interactions which may be relevant for building physical theories such as interacting quantum field theories. We start with the path integral definition of partition function in…
We apply random matrix and free probability techniques to the study of linear maps of interest in quantum information theory. Random quantum channels have already been widely investigated with spectacular success. Here, we are interested in…
Based on recent findings by Bourguin and Peccati, we give a fourth moment type condition for an element of a free Poisson chaos of arbitrary order to converge to a free (centered) Poisson distribution. We also show that free Poisson chaos…
We consider knot theories possessing a {\em parity}: each crossing is decreed {\em odd} or {\em even} according to some universal rule. If this rule satisfies some simple axioms concerning the behaviour under Reidemeister moves, this leads…
Positive semi-definite kernels are used to induce pseudo-metrics, or ``distances'', between measures. We write these as an expected quadratic variation of, or expected inner product between, a random field and the difference of measures.…
Kernels are key in machine learning for modeling interactions. Unfortunately, brute-force computation of the related kernel sums scales quadratically with the number of samples. Recent Fourier-slicing methods lead to an improved linear…
New sets (typically found by computer search) with Sidon constant equal to the square root of their cardinalities are given. For each integer $N$ there are only a finite number of groups of prime order containing $N$-element extreme sets.…
A phase space formulation of the filtering process upon an incident quantum state is developed. This formulation can explain the results of both quantum interference and delayed-choice experiments without making use of the controversial…
The pion structure function is investigated in a simple model, where the pion and its constituent quark fields are coupled through the simplest pseudoscalar coupling. The imaginary part of the forward gamma* pi -> gamma* pi scattering…
From one point of view in the quantum theory of fields, free quantum fields are uniquely determined, not by field equations, but by the transformations of the field and the annihilation and creation operators from which the field is…
We state and prove a new closure theorem closely related to the classical closure theorems of Poncelet and Steiner. Along the way, we establish a number of theorems concerning conic sections.
For general thinning procedures, its inverse operation, the condensing, is studied and a link to integration-by-parts formulas is established. This extends the recent results on that link for independent thinnings of point processes to…
