The aim of this paper is to extend the concept of measure density introduced by Buck for finite unions of arithmetic progressions, to arbitrary subsets of N defined by a given system of decompositions. This leads to a variety of new…
In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of the global convergence properties of an extensively studied and extremely effective fixed-point algorithm for the Kullback-Leibler approximation of spectral densities, proposed by Pavon and…
We consider the systems of diffusion-orthogonal polynomials, defined in the work [1] of D. Bakry, S. Orevkov and M. Zani and (particularly) explain why these systems with boundary of maximal possible degree should always come from the…
In this short note, we address a gap in the proof of Sauvageot's density principle, which was pointed out in a paper by Nelson-Venkatesh.
Consider universal data compression: the length $l(x^n)$ of sequence $x^n\in A^n$ with finite alphabet $A$ and length $n$ satisfies Kraft's inequality over $A^n$, and $-\frac{1}{n}\log \frac{P^n(x^n)}{Q^n(x^n)}$ almost surely converges to…
In a paper published posthumously, P.S. Urysohn constructed a complete, separable metric space that contains an isometric copy of every complete separable metric space, nowadays referred to as the Urysohn universal space. Here we study…
Although the \emph{residual method}, or \emph{constrained regularization}, is frequently used in applications, a detailed study of its properties is still missing. This sharply contrasts the progress of the theory of Tikhonov…
Recently Kiriushcheva and Kuzmin claimed to have shown that the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian cannot be written in any coordinate gauge as an exact differential in a 2-dimensional spacetime. Since this is contrary to other statements on the…
A Comment by R. Blumenfeld on our recent analytical solution for the random close packing density [A. Zaccone, Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 028002 (2022)] is shown to be plagued by important errors and to contain incorrect statements.
For a nontrivial measurable set on the real line, there are always exceptional points, where the lower and upper densities of the set are neither zero nor one. We quantify this statement, following work by V. Kolyada, and obtain the…
We present a general model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of the bulk fermion masses and boundary localized kinetic terms, which are generically allowed by symmetries of five dimensional gauge theory. We provide a…
According to the Dudley-Wichura extension of the Skorohod representation theorem, convergence in distribution to a limit in a separable set is equivalent to the existence of a coupling with elements converging a.s. in the metric. A density…
We provide a complete theory of optimal universal rates for binary classification in the agnostic setting. This extends the realizable-case theory of Bousquet, Hanneke, Moran, van Handel, and Yehudayoff (2021) by removing the realizability…
We critique the measure of complexity introduced by Shiner, Davison, and Landsberg in Ref. [1]. In particular, we point out that it is over-universal, in the sense that it has the same dependence on disorder for structurally distinct…
In this work we extend many classical results concerning the relationship between densities, tangents and rectifiability to the parabolic spaces, namely $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ equipped with parabolic dilations. In particular we prove a…
We correct an inaccuracy in a previous article [Auscher, Pascal; Bernicot, Fr\'ed\'eric; Zhao, Jiman. Maximal regularity and Hardy spaces. Collect. Math. 59 (2008), no. 1, 103-127.]
The effect of curvature on the results of fractal analyses of the galaxy distribution is investigated. We show that, if the universe satisfies the criteria of a wide class of parabolic homogeneous models, the observers measuring the fractal…
We investigate some properties of density measures -- finitely additive measures on the set of natural numbers $\N$ extending asymptotic density. We introduce a class of density measures, which is defined using cluster points of the…
In order to construct a general density-functional theory for nonuniform fluid mixtures, we propose an extension to multicomponent systems of the weighted-density approximation (WDA) of Curtin and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A 32, 2909 (1985)].…
In 2011, I published a popular-level book, The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning: Why the Universe is Not Designed for Us. It investigated a common claim found in contemporary religious literature that the parameters of physics and cosmology are so…
