Fermi statistics is formally extended to the case when energy levels are allowed to be partially occupied, which the Pauli principle does not categorically exclude. The partial Fermi distribution obtained depends on the partial occupation…
In this paper we define the concepts of $g.\Lambda_s$-sets and $g.V_s$-sets and we use them in order to obtain new characterizations of semi-T_1-, semi-R_0- and semi-T_{1/2}-spaces.
Let F be a homogeneous real polynomial of even degree in any number of variables. We consider the problem of giving explicit conditions on the coefficients so that F is positive definite or positive semi-definite. In this note we produce a…
In this paper, we are motivated by the conjectures proposed by C.~Bender \textit{et al.}, \cite{C} in 2024. We have settled the first two conjectures negatively by providing a counter example in \cite{KTJ}, whereas in this paper, we prove…
A new approach to the Selberg trace formula, and more precisely to its spectral side, is developed. The approach relies on a notion of "Plancherel decomposition" of "asymptotically finite functions", and may generalize to obtain a general…
The article proposes a new technique for proving the undefinability of logical connectives through each other and illustrates the technique with several examples. Some of the obtained results are new proofs of the existing theorems, others…
The aim of this note is to give a new proof to the conjecture, proposed by Gray et al. (2011), on the extinction of a stochastic differential equation SIS epidemic model. The conjecture was proved by Xu (2017). Our proof is much more direct…
We prove a version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semiabelian varieties over fields of positive characteristic. The proof presented here contains the details of the proof sketched by the author in the article "Diophantine geometry from…
This survey contains a selection of topics unified by the concept of positive semi-definiteness (of matrices or kernels), reflecting natural constraints imposed on discrete data (graphs or networks) or continuous objects (probability or…
In this paper we introduce the notion of m-irreducibility that extends the standard concept of irreducibility of a numerical semigroup when the multiplicity is fixed. We analyze the structure of the set of m-irreducible numerical…
We characterize the total positivity in space-time of real strictly stable semigroups. In the positive case, this solves a problem which had been raised by Karlin. In the drifted Cauchy case, this concludes a study which we had initiated in…
We introduce several statistics on ordered partitions of sets, that is, set partitions where the blocks are permuted arbitrarily. The distribution of these statistics is closely related to the q-Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some of…
We revisit Bressoud's generalized Borwein conjecture. Making use of new positivity-preserving transformations for q-binomial coefficients we establish the truth of infinitely many cases of the Bressoud conjecture. In addition, we prove new…
In previous work of the authors, we investigated the Born and inverse Born series for a scalar wave equation with linear and nonlinear terms, the nonlinearity being cubic of Kerr type [8]. We reported conditions which guarantee convergence…
In this note, simple proofs of certain well-known results involving the positive square root of positive matrices are given.
Tensors are ubiquitous in statistics and data analysis. The central object that links data science to tensor theory and algebra is that of a model with latent variables. We provide an overview of tensor theory, with a particular emphasis on…
We prove that there are energetically stable bimetric theories. These theories satisfies a positive energy theorem. We construct a model example.
This is a short note about Schur positivity. We introduce Schur polynomials and explain how they appear in the representation theory of the general linear group. We end with a new result of the author with F. Bergeron and V. Reiner that…
Antimonotonous quadratic forms generalizing P-faithful posets defined by authors earlier are introduced. The criterion of antimonotonousness is given for posets with positive semidefinite quadratic forms. As consequence the new proofs of…
The purpose of this article is to introduce for dispersive partial differential equations with random initial data, the notion of well-posedness (in the Hadamard-probabilistic sense). We restrict the study to one of the simplest examples of…
