An intuitive probabilistic alternative for the construction of the Martin boundary is presented along with a construction of maximal representing measures for positive harmonic functions.

Exchangeability is a central notion in statistics and probability theory. The assumption that an infinite sequence of data points is exchangeable is at the core of Bayesian statistics. However, finite exchangeability as a statistical…

Standard probability theory has been extremely successful but there are some conceptually possible scenarios, such as fair infinite lotteries, that it does not model well. For this reason alternative probability theories have been…

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 this note, we consider a fixed vector field $V$ on $S^2$ and study the distribution of points which lie on the nodal set (of a random spherical harmonic) where $V$ is also tangent. We show that the expected value of the corresponding…

Dirichlet processes and their extensions have reached a great popularity in Bayesian nonparametric statistics. They have also been introduced for spatial and spatio-temporal data, as a tool to analyze and predict surfaces. A popular…

Transition Probability (fidelity) for pairs of density operators can be defined as "functor" in the hierarchy of "all" quantum systems and also within any quantum system. The introduction of "amplitudes" for density operators allows for a…

We consider the product of infinitely many copies of a spin-$1\over 2$ system. We construct projection operators on the corresponding nonseparable Hilbert space which measure whether the outcome of an infinite sequence of $\sigma^x$…

We establish an invertibility criterion for free polynomials and free functions evaluated on some tuples of matrices. We show that if the derivative is nonsingular on some domain closed with respect to direct sums and similarity, the…

Riemann's non-differentiable function is one of the most famous examples of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, but it has also been shown to be relevant from a physical point of view. Indeed, it satisfies the Frisch-Parisi…

We study the behavior of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line when the imaginary part of the argument is sampled by the Cauchy random walk. We develop a complete second order theory for the corresponding system of random variables…

We classify simple singularities of functions on space curves. We show that their bifurcation sets have properties very similar to those of functions on smooth manifolds and complete intersections [1,2]: the k(pi, 1)-theorem for the…

In this article we show a tecnique based on the Weierstrass product for the sine and cosine function and the bisection formula for the cotangent function that leads to a generalization of the classical Shafer-Fink inequality $ \frac{3…

The Riemann-Siegel theta function $\vartheta(t)$ is examined for $t\to+\infty$. Use of the refined asymptotic expansion for $\log\,\g(z)$ shows that the expansion of $\vartheta(t)$ contains an infinite sequence of increasingly subdominant…

We introduce and characterize central probability distributions on Littelmann paths. Next we establish a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem for the generalized Pitmann transform. We then study harmonic functions on…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Pick functions, analytic functions which take the upper half plane to itself. We show that if a two variable Pick function $f$ has real residues to order $2N-1$ at infinity and the imaginary part of the…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

We consider Weierstra\ss\ and Takagi-van der Waerden functions with critical degree of roughness. In this case, the functions have vanishing $p^{\text{th}}$ variation for all $p>1$ but are also nowhere differentiable and hence not of…

We deduce some new functional inequalities, like Tur\'an type inequalities, Redheffer type inequalities, and a Mittag-Leffler expansion for a special combination of modified Bessel functions of the first kind, called modified Dini…

The concept of the $p^{\text{th}}$ variation of a continuous function $f$ along a refining sequence of partitions is the key to a pathwise It\^o integration theory with integrator $f$. Here, we analyze the $p^{\text{th}}$ variation of a…
