Consider exponential Carmichael function $\lambda^{(e)}$ such that $\lambda^{(e)}$ is multiplicative and $\lambda^{(e)}(p^a) = \lambda(a)$, where $\lambda$ is usual Carmichael function. We discuss the value of $\sum \lambda^{(e)}(n)$, where…
A new expression for the characteristic function of log-spot in Heston model is presented. This expression more clearly exhibits its properties as an analytic characteristic function and allows us to compute the exact domain of the moment…
The familiar generating functionals in quantum field theory fail to be true measures and, so they make the sense only in the framework of the perturbation theory. In our approach, generating functionals are defined strictly as the Fourier…
Determination of linear combination of exponential functions with unknown rate constants from its sampled values is a problem of considerable interest. Here we present a constructive and explicit solution to this problem. Moments of such…
We introduce a general class of generating functionals for the calculation of quantum-mechanical expectation values of arbitrary functionals of fluctuating paths with fixed end points in configuration or momentum space. The generating…
We introduce a novel method for obtaining a wide variety of moments of any random variable with a well-defined moment-generating function (MGF). We derive new expressions for fractional moments and fractional absolute moments, both central…
In our former work [K. Tadaki, Local Proceedings of CiE 2008, pp.425-434, 2008], we developed a statistical mechanical interpretation of algorithmic information theory by introducing the notion of thermodynamic quantities at temperature T,…
We study branching processes of independently splitting particles in the continuous time setting. If time is calibrated such that particles live on average one unit of time, the corresponding transition rates are fully determined by the…
We show that for any liquid or solid with strong correlation between its $NVT$ virial and potential-energy equilibrium fluctuations, the temperature is a product of a function of excess entropy per particle and a function of density,…
We propose a new point of view regarding the problem of time in quantum mechanics, based on the idea of replacing the usual time operator $\mathbf{T}$ with a suitable real-valued function $T$ on the space of physical states. The proper…
Thermodynamics is usually formulated on the presumption that the observer has complete information about the system he/she deals with: no parasitic current, exact evaluation of the forces that drive the system. For example, the acclaimed…
We derive an Ito stochastic differential equation for entropy production in nonequilibrium Langevin processes. Introducing a random-time transformation, entropy production obeys a one-dimensional drift-diffusion equation, independent of the…
This article is devoted problems of electromagnetic interaction in curved spacetime. Such problems exist, in particular, when we investigate electromagnetic quantum processes near black holes. The generalization of reduction formalism…
We give a detailed description of electrodynamics as an emergent theory from condensed-matter-like structures, not only {\it per se} but also as a warm-up for the study of the much more complex case of gravity. We will concentrate on two…
Let $T$ be an underlying space with a non-atomic measure $\sigma$ on it. In [{\it Comm.\ Math.\ Phys.}\ {\bf 292} (2009), 99--129] the Meixner class of non-commutative generalized stochastic processes with freely independent values,…
We establish an ordinary as well as a logarithmical convexity of the Moment Generating Function (MGF) for the centered random variable and vector (r.v.) satisfying the Kramer's condition. Our considerations are based on the theory of the…
We study generating functions in the context of Rota-Baxter algebras. We show that exponential generating functions can be naturally viewed in a very special case of complete free commutative Rota-Baxter algebras. This allows us to use free…
We derive a generalization of Ehrenfest theorem valid for open quantum systems. From this result, we identify three contributions to the evolution of expected values: i) the explicit time dependence of the observable, ii) the…
Let $\cal R$ be either the Grothendieck semiring (semiring with multiplication) of complex algebraic varieties, or the Grothendieck ring of these varieties, or the Grothendieck ring localized by the class of the complex affine line. We…
The Fourier transform is often used to connect the Lorentzian energy distribution for resonance scattering to the exponential time dependence for decaying states. However, to apply the Fourier transform, one has to bend the rules of…
