We point out new ways to search for charmless baryonic B decays: baryon pair production in association with $\eta^\prime$ is very likely as large as or even a bit larger than two body $K\pi/\pi\pi$ modes. We extend our argument, in weaker…
The weak axiom of revealed preference (WARP) ensures that the revealed preference (i) is a preference relation (i.e., it is complete and transitive) and (ii) rationalizes the choices. However, when WARP fails, either one of these two…
It is consistent that there exists a Souslin tree $T$ such that after forcing with it, $T$ becomes an almost Souslin Kurepa tree. This answers a question of Zakrzewski.
In this paper we consider the variational approach to cactus trees (Husimi trees) and the more common recursive approach, that are in principle equivalent for finite systems. We discuss in detail the conditions under which the two methods…
In this paper, we define weakly coherent rings, and examine the transfer of these rings to homomorphic image, trivial ring extension, localization, and direct product. These results provide examples of weakly coherent rings that are not…
We survey some different results on the digits of prime numbers, giving a simplified proof of weak forms of a result of Maynard and Mauduit-Rivat.
In regard to our recent studies of rings with (strongly, weakly) nil-clean-like properties, we explore in-depth both the structural and characterization properties of those rings whose elements that are not units are weakly nil-clean. Group…
We prove that a strong version of Chang's Conjecture, equivalent to the Weak Reflection Principle at $\omega_2$, together with $2^\omega=\omega_2$, imply there are no $\omega_2$-Aronszajn trees.
Looking at bivariate copulas from the perspective of conditional distributions and considering weak convergence of almost all conditional distributions yields the notion of weak conditional convergence. At first glance, this notion of…
The aim of this note is to prove a new discrepancy principle. The advantage of the new discrepancy principle compared with the known one consists of solving a minimization problem approximately, rather than exactly, and in the proof of a…
A precise definition of "weak [quantum] measurements" and "weak value" (of a quantum observable) is offered, and simple finite dimensional examples are given showing that weak values are not unique and therefore probably do not correspond…
We define here the notion of a {\it weakly reversible ring} $R$ saying that a non-zero element $a\in R$ is weakly reversible if there exists an integer $m>0$ depending on $a$ such that $a^m\neq 0$ is reversible, that is,…
We calculate the charm quark contribution to the rare decay K+ -> pi+ nu anti-nu in the next-to-next-to-leading order of QCD. This new contribution reduces the theoretical uncertainty in the relevant parameter Pc from +/- 10.1% down to +/-…
In their paper (arXiv:2402.09879), Aredes and Saldanha analyze several paradoxes related to weak values and present a "general argument" that aims to show that "realistic interpretations ...of weak values lead to inconsistencies". Although…
A weak basis of a module is a generating set of the module minimal with respect to inclusion. A module is said to be regularly weakly based provided that each of its generating sets contain a weak basis. In the paper we study (1) rings over…
We give a proof of the Morrison--Kawamata cone conjecture for abelian varieties. The proof is a straightforward deduction from well-known results on the real endomorphism algebra of an abelian variety and reduction theory for self-dual…
This work addresses the problem of computing measures of recognisable sets of infinite trees. An algorithm is provided to compute the probability measure of a tree language recognisable by a weak alternating automaton, or equivalently…
In this work we revisit the important and controversial concept of quantum weak values, aiming to provide a simplified understanding to its associated physics and the origin of anomaly. Taking the Stern-Gerlach setup as a working system, we…
Recent experimental bounds on rare charm decays offer a chance to improve our theoretical understanding of physics present in $c \to u \gamma$ and $c \to u l^+ l^-$ transitions. Standard Model and New Physics contributions are reviewed for…
Second-generation theoretical technologies -- heavy quark expansions, QCD sum rules and QCD simulations on the lattice -- are arriving on the scene, allowing a treatment of charm decays that is genuinely based on QCD. The availability of…
