Some predictions of quantum mechanics are in contrast with the macroscopic realm of everyday experience, in particular those originated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, encoded in the non-commutativity of some measurable operators.…
The excitation spectrum of the density collective oscillations is computed for multi-component molecular mixtures both with Coulomb and (repulsive) short-range interactions. Distinct sound-like excitations appear, governed by the…
Mathematical modeling should present a consistent description of physical phenomena. We illustrate an inconsistency with two Hamiltonians -- the standard Hamiltonian and an example found in Goldstein -- for the simple harmonic oscillator…
We present a method to calculate small stationary fluctuations around static solutions describing bound states in a $(1+1)$-dimensional $\lambda \phi^{n+1}$ theory in a finite domain. We also calculate explicitly fluctuations for the…
Working with a presumed asymptotic series for lambda_d developed in previous work, we make some intelligent guesses for lambda_d with d=3, 4, 5; and estimates for the corresponding errors. We present arguments in favor of these guesses, we…
Different change-point type models encountered in statistical inference for stochastic processes give rise to different limiting likelihood ratio processes. In this paper we consider two such likelihood ratios. The first one is an…
The main purpose of this article is to study higher order moments of Kummer sums weighted by $L$-functions using estimates for character sums and analytic methods. The results of this article complement a conjecture of Zhang Wenpeng (2002).…
The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is frequently used in data science. For discrete distributions on large state spaces, approximations of probability vectors may result in a few small negative entries, rendering the KL divergence…
We discuss aspects of the quantum Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$ in theories with an exactly marginal SYK-like random interaction, where $\lambda_L$ can be computed as a continuous function of the interaction strength $\mathcal{J}$. In $1d$,…
Up-down permutations are counted by tangent resp. secant numbers. Considering words instead, where the letters are produced by independent geometric distributions, there are several ways of introducing this concept; in the limit they all…
In a posteriori error analysis, the relationship between error and estimator is usually spoiled by so-called oscillation terms, which cannot be bounded by the error. In order to remedy, we devise a new approach where the oscillation has the…
In this article we compare solutions to elliptic problems having rapidly oscillated conductivity (permeability, etc) coefficient with solutions to corresponding homogenized problems obtained from two-scale extensions of the initial…
We derive the local and central limit theorems for the Stirling numbers of the second kind by elementary means, obtaining as corollaries effective asymptotic estimates for the Bell numbers and for the moments of the distribution. We also…
In a recent letter ({\it{EPL}}, {\bf{104}} (2013) 60003; see also {\it {arXiv:1309.5645}}), Plastino and Rocca suggest that the divergences inherent to the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics can be eliminated {\it {via}} the…
We examine the number of vanishings of quadratic twists of the L-function associated to an elliptic curve. Applying a conjecture for the full asymptotics of the moments of critical L-values we obtain a conjecture for the first two terms in…
As physics searches for invariants in observations, this paper looks for invariants of probabilistic observation without assuming physical structure. Structure emerges from the basic assumption of science that new information shall lead to…
We undertake a critical evaluation of recent observational information on $\Omega_m$ and $\Omega_\Lambda$ in order to identify possible sources of systematic errors and effects of simplified statistical analyses. We combine observations for…
We demonstrate three properties conjectured to hold for a certain function by Levin (2025) in a study of the blimpy graphical shape of the number of bit strings with a given score under an interesting scoring system. The properties include…
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
In this note two blow-up results are proved for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms both in the subcritical case and in the critical case, when the damping and the mass terms…
