We consider generalised root identities for zeta functions of curves over finite fields, \zeta_{k}, and compare with the corresponding analysis for the Riemann zeta function. We verify numerically that, as for \zeta, the \zeta_{k} do…

The relative $\alpha$-entropy is the R\'enyi analog of relative entropy and arises prominently in information-theoretic problems. Recent information geometric investigations on this quantity have enabled the generalization of the…

In math.NT/9907019 we proposed an analog of the classical Riemann hypothesis for characteristic p valued L-series based on the work of Wan, Diaz-Vargas, Thakur, Poonen, and Sheats for the zeta function $\zeta_{\Fr[\theta]}(s)$. During the…

An initial-boundary value problem for the generalized 2D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation posed on the right half-strip is considered. Existence, uniqueness and the exponential decay rate of global regular solutions for small initial data are…

We study generalized Bayesian inference under misspecification, i.e. when the model is 'wrong but useful'. Generalized Bayes equips the likelihood with a learning rate $\eta$. We show that for generalized linear models (GLMs),…

A Mizohata-Takeuchi type estimate is a type of weighted Fourier restriction estimate. Using tools from high dimensional probability, we construct a large class of weights that satisfy sharp estimates of Mizohata-Takeuchi type. One can…

In certain applications involving the solution of a Bayesian inverse problem, it may not be possible or desirable to evaluate the full posterior, e.g. due to the high computational cost of doing so. This problem motivates the use of…

We consider component-wise estimation of order restricted location/scale parameters $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ ($\theta_1\leq \theta_2$) of a general bivariate distribution under the squared error loss function. To find improvements over the…

The problem of simultaneous estimation of location/scale parameters $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ of a general bivariate location/scale model, when the ordering between the parameters is known apriori (say, $\theta_1\leq \theta_2$), has been…

We develop a general theory of omitted variable bias for a wide range of common causal parameters, including (but not limited to) averages of potential outcomes, average treatment effects, average causal derivatives, and policy effects from…

A new approach is proposed to phenomenological study of a generic unified supergravity model, which reduces to the minimal supersymmetric standard model. The model is effectively parametrized in terms of five low energy observables. In…

Bayesian optimisation has gained great popularity as a tool for optimising the parameters of machine learning algorithms and models. Somewhat ironically, setting up the hyper-parameters of Bayesian optimisation methods is notoriously hard.…
