We extend the study of \emph{melonic} quartic tensor models to models with arbitrary quartic interactions. This extension requires a new version of the loop vertex expansion using several species of intermediate fields and iterated…

Let $(a_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ be a second-order linear recurrence sequence with constant coefficients over the field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We study the set of limit points of the sequence of consecutive ratios…

In this note, we develop some of the basic theory of s-finite (measures and) kernels, a little-studied class that Staton has recently argued convincingly to be precisely the semantic counterpart of (first-order) probabilistic programs. We…

We give a categorical treatment, in the spirit of Baez and Fritz, of relative entropy for probability distributions defined on standard Borel spaces. We define a category suitable for reasoning about statistical inference on standard Borel…

Let S be a set of states of a physical system and p(s) be the probability of the occurrence of an event when the system is in state s. A function p from S to [0,1] is called a numerical event or alternatively an S-probability. If a set…

We consider certain generalized binomial sums $\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)$ and discuss the nonintegrality of their values for integral parameters $n,r \geq 1$ and $\ell \in \mathbb{Z}$ in several cases using $p$-adic methods. In particular,…

We show that, for every $1 \leq p < +\infty$ and for every Borel probability measure $\mathbb{P}$ over $\mathbb{R}$, every element of $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}, \mathscr{B}_{\mathbb{R}}, \mathbb{P})$ is the $L^{p}$-limit of some sequence of bounded…

A new notion of typicality for arbitrary probability measures on standard Borel spaces is proposed, which encompasses the classical notions of weak and strong typicality as special cases. Useful lemmas about strong typical sets, including…

We study the dynamical Borel-Cantelli lemma for recurrence sets in a measure preserving dynamical system $(X, \mu, T)$ with a compatible metric $d$. We prove that, under some regularity conditions, the $\mu$-measure of the following set \[…

We introduce a new invariant of Borel reducibility, namely the notion of thickness; this associates to every sentence $\Phi$ of $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1 \omega}$ and to every cardinal $\lambda$, the thickness $\tau(\Phi, \lambda)$ of $\Phi$…

We develop a correspondence between the study of Borel equivalence relations induced by closed subgroups of $S_\infty$, and the study of symmetric models and weak choice principles, and apply it to prove a conjecture of…

We give new equivalent characterizations for ideals of Borel type. Also, we prove that the regularity of a product of ideals of Borel type is bounded by the sum of the regularities of those ideals.

We develop a technique for normalization for $\infty$-type theories. The normalization property helps us to prove a coherence theorem: the initial model of a given $\infty$-type theory is $0$-truncated. The coherence theorem justifies…

A collection of finite sets $\{A_1, A_2,\ldots, A_{p}\}$ is said to be a double-covering if each $a\in \cup_{k=1}^{p}A_k$ is included in exactly two sets of the collection. For fixed integers $l$ and $p$, let $\mu_{l,p}$ be the number of…

In this paper ideas of different types of convergence of a sequence of random variables in probability, namely, statistical convergence of order $\alpha$ in probability, strong $p$-Ces$\grave{\mbox{a}}$ro summability of order $\alpha$ in…

Bond percolation on Cayley graphs provides examples of random graphs. Other examples arise from the dynamical study of proper repetitive subgraphs of Cayley graphs. In this paper we demonstrate that these two families have mutually singular…

We are looking for integer sets that resemble classical Cantor set and investigate the structure of their sum sets. Especially we investigate $FS(B)$ the subset sum of sequence type $B=\{\lfloor p^n\alpha\rfloor\}^\infty_{n=0}$. When $p=2$,…

It is well-known that every weakly convergent sequence in $\ell_1$ is convergent in the norm topology (Schur's lemma). Phillips' lemma asserts even more strongly that if a sequence $(\mu_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ in $\ell_\infty'$ converges…

Let F be a separable uniformly bounded family of measurable functions on a standard measurable space, and let N_{[]}(F,\epsilon,\mu) be the smallest number of \epsilon-brackets in L^1(\mu) needed to cover F. The following are equivalent: 1.…

We study new identities related to the sums of adjacent terms in the Pell sequence, defined by $P_{n} := 2P_{n-1}+P_{n-2}$ for $ n\geq 2$ and $P_{0}=0, P_{1}=1$, and generalize these identities for many similar sequences. We prove that the…
