Bayesian quadrature is a probabilistic, model-based approach to numerical integration, the estimation of intractable integrals, or expectations. Although Bayesian quadrature was popularised already in the 1980s, no systematic and…

This thesis is devoted to the study of extreme value statistics in stochastic processes and their applications. In the first part, we obtain exact analytical results on the extreme value statistics of both discrete-time and continuous-time…

In a series of lectures given in 2003 soon after receiving the Fields Medal for his results in the Algebraic Geometry Vladimir Voevodsky (1966-2017) identifies two strategic goals for mathematics, which he plans to pursue in his further…

The h-index was introduced by the physicist J.E. Hirsch in 2005 as measure of a researcher's productivity. We consider the "combinatorial Fermi problem" of estimating h given the citation count. Using the Euler-Gauss identity for integer…

The purpose of this short paper dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Prof.Constantin Tsallis is to show how the use of mathematical tools and physical concepts introduced by Burr, L\.{e}vy and Tsallis open a new line of analysis of the old…

William Kruskal (Bill) was a distinguished statistician who spent virtually his entire professional career at the University of Chicago, and who had a lasting impact on the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and on the field of statistics…

The present volume is the collection of contributions by friends of Holger Bech Nielsen for his 60th birthday. Contents: 1.Unified internal space of spins and charges (N. Mankoc Borstnik) 2.Semitopological Q-Rings (M. Axenides) 3.Non-local…

This letter is concerned with the analysis of the six-vertex model with domain-wall boundaries in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs). The model's partition function is shown to obey a system of PDEs resembling the celebrated…

We investigate the free boundary Schur process, a variant of the Schur process introduced by Okounkov and Reshetikhin, where we allow the first and the last partitions to be arbitrary (instead of empty in the original setting). The pfaffian…

We analyze the one-pass stochastic gradient descent dynamics of a two-layer neural network with quadratic activations in a teacher--student framework. In the high-dimensional regime, where the input dimension $N$ and the number of samples…

In this paper we describe the thickened strips and the outside nested decompositions of any skew shape $\lambda/\mu$. For any such decomposition $\Phi=(\Theta_1,\Theta_2,\ldots,\Theta_g)$ of the skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ where $\Theta_i$ is…

This review provides a pedagogic and self-contained introduction to master equations and to their representation by path integrals. We discuss analytical and numerical methods for the solution of master equations, keeping our focus on…

The master equation plays an important role in many scientific fields including physics, chemistry, systems biology, physical finance, and sociodynamics. We consider the master equation with periodic transition rates. This may represent an…

This habilitation (German variant of a PhD on top of a PhD) thesis presents the quintessence of the ideas and experiences with Groebner Bases of Birgit Reinert. She died unexpectedly without providing an abstract. As arXiv requires an…

Let $P$ be a Schr\"odinger operator $D_t+\Delta_g$ with metric and potential perturbation that are compactly supported in spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Here $D_t = -i \partial_t$ and $\Delta_g$ is the positive Laplacian. We consider the…

The model of self-avoiding lattice walks and the asymptotic analysis of power-series have been two of the major research themes of Tony Guttmann. In this paper we bring the two together and perform a new analysis of the generating functions…

We study fractional exclusion statistics for quantum systems with SU(2) symmetry (arbitrary spin $S$), by generalizing the thermodynamic equations with squeezed strings proposed by Ha and Haldane. The bare hole distributions as well as the…

We analyze boundary states in the SU(2)$_k$ WZW model using open string field theory in the level truncation approximation. We develop algorithms that allow effective calculation of action in this model and we search for classical solutions…

We study the Loschmidt echo for quenches in open one-dimensional lattice models with symmetry protected topological phases. For quenches where dynamical quantum phase transitions do occur we find that cusps in the bulk return rate at…

This paper addresses the problem of basis correction in the context of LSS identification from input-output data. It is often the case that identification algorithms for the LSSs from input-output data operate locally. The individually…
