This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…

Given a function $f\in L^2(\mathbb R)$, we consider means and variances associated to $f$ and its Fourier transform $\hat{f}$, and explore their relations with the Wigner transform $W(f)$, obtaining a simple new proof of Shapiro's…

We investigate the continuous function $f$ defined by $$x\mapsto \sum_{\sigma\le_L x }2^{-K(\sigma)}$$ as a variant of Chaitin's Omega from the perspective of analysis, computability, and algorithmic randomness. Among other results, we…

Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…

Based on the theory of Fermat reals we introduce new topologies on spaces of Colombeau generalized points and derive some of their fundamental properties. In particular, we obtain metric topologies on the space of near-standard generalized…

The goal of this paper is to estimate the total variation distance between two general stochastic polynomials. As a consequence one obtains an invariance principle for such polynomials. This generalizes known results concerning the total…

We prove a genus zero Givental-style mirror theorem for all complete intersections in proper toric Deligne-Mumford stacks, which provides an explicit slice called big $I-$function on Givental's Lagrangian cone for such targets. In…

Quasi-set theory provides us a mathematical background for dealing with collections of indistinguishable elementary particles. In this paper, we show how to obtain the usual statistics (Maxwell-Boltzmann, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac)…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…
