Renormalization group equations and a phase diagram are derived for a system of two chains with a single-electron hopping between chains in order to correct the results of a recent paper by F.~V.~Kusmartsev, A.~Luther, and A.~Nersesyan,…
A regenerative composition structure is a sequence of ordered partitions derived from the range of a subordinator by a natural sampling procedure. In this paper, we extend previous studies Barbour and Gnedin (2006), Gnedin, Iksanov and…

The Aldous diffusion is a conjectured Markov process on the space of real trees that is the continuum analogue of discrete Markov chains on binary trees. We construct this conjectured process via a consistent system of stationary evolutions…
Motivated by the connection to a probabilistic model of phylogenetic trees introduced by Aldous, we study the recursive sequence governed by the rule $x_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{h_{n-1}(n-i)} x_i$ where $h_{n-1} = \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}…
We present the proofs of the conjectures mentioned in the paper published in the proceedings of the 2024 AAAI conference [1], and discovered by the decomposition methods presented in the same paper.
In a recent article [Phys. Rev. A 94, 052128 (2016)], the authors compute the predictions of two collapse models on the transition probabilities of neutral mesons. Notably, they claim to find an influence on the decay rates and attempt to…
We consider a one dimensional infinite chain of har- monic oscillators whose dynamics is perturbed by a stochastic term conserving energy and momentum. We prove that in the unpinned case the macroscopic evolution of the energy converges to…
In the recent paper "Reparametrizations of continuous paths", J. Homotopy Relat. Struct. 2 (2007), 93-117 (with U. Fahrenberg), we performed a systematic investigation of reparametrizations of continuous paths in a Hausdorff space that…
We construct a coupling between two seemingly very different constructions of the standard additive coalescent, which describes the evolution of masses merging pairwise at rates proportional to their sums. The first construction, due to…
We respond to the criticism raised in the paper arXiv:1704.07831.
Aldous' spectral gap conjecture asserts that on any graph the random walk process and the random transposition (or interchange) process have the same spectral gap. We prove the conjecture using a recursive strategy. The approach is a…
Although old, this may be of interest. In particular, I have had inquiries concerning the renormalization group calculations in Sec. 6.4. This is a Latex transcription. A scanned version of the original typed manuscript is available at…
We reexamine the dimerization, the charge and the spin gaps of a half-filled Peierls-Hubbard chain by means of the incremental expansion technique. Our numerical findings are in significant quantitative conflict with recently obtained…
We comment on the paper `UCN anomalous losses and the UCN capture cross section on material defects' by A. Serebrov et al., Phys. Lett. A 335 (2005) 327 - 336. Data presented do not originate from these authors alone but were taken in…
I present briefly some facts about nonequilibrium renormalized perturbation theory, correcting recent misleading statements in [E. Mu\~noz, F. Zamani, L. Merker, T. A. Costi, and S. Kirchner, Journal of Physics: Conf. Series 807, 092001…
It has been claimed in Aldous, Miermont and Pitman [PTRF, 2004] that all L\'evy trees are mixings of inhomogeneous continuum random trees. We give a rigorous proof of this claim in the case of a stable branching mechanism, relying on a new…

We present an alternate proof of the passage from the finiteness principle for metric trees to the construction of the core in the C. Fefferman and Shvartsman finiteness theorem for Lipschitz selection problems.
