We reexamine the 1/S-correction to the self-energy of the gapless magnon of a D-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet in a uniform magnetic field h using a hybrid approach between 1/S-expansion and non-linear sigma model, where the…
The Gromov--Wasserstein problem is a non-convex optimization problem over the polytope of transportation plans between two probability measures supported on two spaces, each equipped with a cost function evaluating similarities between…
In the ordinary quantum Maxwell theory of a free electromagnetic field, formulated on a curved 3-manifold, we observe that magnetic and electric fluxes cannot be simultaneously measured. This uncertainty principle reflects torsion: fluxes…
We classify the invariant Borel measures for adic transformations, where the alphabets have bounded size and the measure is finite on the path space of some sub-Bratteli diagram. We develop a nonstationary version of the Frobenius normal…
We introduce a free probabilistic quantity called free Stein irregularity, which is defined in terms of free Stein discrepancies. It turns out that this quantity is related via a simple formula to the Murray--von Neumann dimension of the…
We present in this work a new family of kernels to compare positive measures on arbitrary spaces $\Xcal$ endowed with a positive kernel $\kappa$, which translates naturally into kernels between histograms or clouds of points. We first cover…
This paper introduces kdiff, a novel kernel-based measure for estimating distances between instances of time series, random fields and other forms of structured data. This measure is based on the idea of matching distributions that only…
In this article, we derive Stein's method for approximating a spatial random graph by a generalised random geometric graph, which has vertices given by a finite Gibbs point process and edges based on a general connection function. Our main…
We show in this note that the Sobolev Discrepancy introduced in Mroueh et al in the context of generative adversarial networks, is actually the weighted negative Sobolev norm $||.||_{\dot{H}^{-1}(\nu_q)}$, that is known to linearize the…
Let $X$ be a centered random variable with unit variance, zero third moment, and such that $E[X^4] \ge 3$. Let $\{F_n : n\geq 1\}$ denote a normalized sequence of homogeneous sums of fixed degree $d\geq 2$, built from independent copies of…
Several extensions of the classical optimal transport distances to the quantum setting have been proposed. In this paper, we investigate the pseudometrics introduced by Golse, Mouhot and Paul in [Commun Math Phys 343:165-205, 2016] and by…
We investigate gravity as a gauge theory in the language of fiber bundles with tools from algebraic geometry. Compelled by the construction of the Eilenberg-MacLane classifying space via Fox derivations in an integral group ring, the origin…
According to a classical result of E.~Calabi any hyperbolic affine hypersphere endowed with its natural Hessian metric has a non-positive Ricci tensor. The affine hyperspheres can be described as the level sets of solutions to the…
A discussion is given of the conformal Einstein field equations coupled with matter whose energy-momentum tensor is trace-free. These resulting equations are expressed in terms of a generic Weyl connection. The article shows how in the…
This work derives closed-form expressions computing the expectation of co-presence and of number of co-occurrences of nodes on paths sampled from a network according to general path weights (a bag of paths). The underlying idea is that two…
On weighted Riemannian manifolds we prove the existence of globally Lipschitz transport maps between the weight (probability) measure and log-Lipschitz perturbations of it, via Kim and Milman's diffusion transport map, assuming that the…
We are interested in the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality (CKN in short), introduced by these authors in 1984. We explain why the CKN inequality can be viewed as a Sobolev inequality on a weighted Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we…
We consider the ferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg model in one dimension, for any spin $S\geq 1/2$. We give upper and lower bounds on the free energy, proving that at low temperature it is asymptotically equal to the one of an ideal Bose gas…
We show that the parallel transport map over a reductive homogeneous space with natural torsion-free connection becomes an affine submersion with horizontal distribution. This generalizes one of the main results in the author's previous…
Higher order free moments and cumulants, introduced by Collins, Mingo, \'Sniady and Speicher in 2006, describe the fluctuations of unitarily invariant random matrices in the limit of infinite size. The functional relations between their…
