This paper introduces the concept of the Gaussian integral filter (GIF), the limit of the Gaussian sum filter (GSF) for when the number of mixands tends to infinity. The GIF is obtained via a combination of GSF, quadrature, and…
This undergraduate thesis is concerned with developing the tools of differential geometry and semiclassical analysis needed to understand the the quantum ergodicity theorem of Schnirelman (1974), Zelditch (1987), and Colin de Verdi\`ere…
The relation between microscopic and macroscopic entities in the generally covariant theories is considered, and it is argued that a sensible definition of the macroscopic averages requires a restriction of the allowed transformations of…
We consider vectors of random variables, obtained by restricting the length of the nodal set of Berry's random wave model to a finite collection of (possibly overlapping) smooth compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our main result shows that,…

Let $S\subset\R^d$ be a bounded subset with positive Lebesgue measure. The Paley-Wiener space associated to $S$, $PW_S$, is defined to be the set of all square-integrable functions on $\R^d$ whose Fourier transforms vanish outside $S$. A…

We introduce and study a universal model of random geometry in two dimensions. To this end, we start from a discrete graph drawn on the sphere, which is chosen uniformly at random in a certain class of graphs with a given size $n$, for…
In this paper, we extend the Generalized Finite Difference Method (GFDM) on unknown compact submanifolds of the Euclidean domain, identified by randomly sampled data that (almost surely) lie on the interior of the manifolds. Theoretically,…
We consider entanglement-assisted frequency estimation by Ramsey interferometry, in the presence of dephasing noise from spatiotemporally correlated environments.By working in the widely employed local estimation regime, we show that even…
Lyons and Sullivan have shown how to discretize harmonic functions on a Riemannian manifold $M$ whose Brownian motion satisfies a certain recurrence property called $\ast$-recurrence. We study analogues of this discretization for tensor…

We study a random band matrix $H=(H_{xy})_{x,y}$ of dimension $N\times N$ with mean-zero complex Gaussian entries, where $x,y$ belong to the discrete torus $(\mathbb{Z}/\sqrt{N}\mathbb{Z})^{2}$. The variance profile…
We show how to obtain all covariant field equations for massless particles of arbitrary integer, or half-integer, helicity in four dimensions from the quantization of the rigid particle, whose action is given by the integrated extrinsic…
This paper proposes a novel scheme for reduced-rank Gaussian process regression. The method is based on an approximate series expansion of the covariance function in terms of an eigenfunction expansion of the Laplace operator in a compact…
