We consider the following inverse problem: Suppose a $(1+1)$-dimensional wave equation on $\mathbb{R}_+$ with zero initial conditions is excited with a Neumann boundary data modelled as a white noise process. Given also the Dirichlet data…

We study zeroes of Gaussian analytic functions in a strip in the complex plane, with translation-invariant distribution. We prove that the a limiting horizontal mean counting-measure of the zeroes exists almost surely, and that it is…

In these notes, we describe the recent progress in understanding the zero sets of two remarkable Gaussian random functions: the Gaussian entire function with invariant distribution of zeroes with respect to isometries of the complex plane,…

In order to determine the Wigner function uniquely, we introduce a new condition which ensures that the Wigner function has correct marginal distributions along tilted lines. For a system in $N$ dimensional Hilbert space, whose "phase…

We investigate the random variable defined by the volume of the zero set of a smooth Gaussian field, on a general Riemannian manifold possibly with boundary, a fundamental object in probability and geometry. We prove a new explicit formula…

We prove a formula expressing the gradient of the phase function of a function $f: \mathbb R^d \mapsto \mathbb C$ as a normalized first frequency moment of the Wigner distribution for fixed time. The formula holds when $f$ is the Fourier…

Using the Wigner-Vlasov formalism, an exact 3D solution of the Schr\"odinger equation for a scalar particle in an electromagnetic field is constructed. Electric and magnetic fields are non-uniform. According to the exact expression for the…

Generalized smooth functions are a possible formalization of the original historical approach followed by Cauchy, Poisson, Kirchhoff, Helmholtz, Kelvin, Heaviside, and Dirac to deal with generalized functions. They are set-theoretical…

We consider matrix functions with certain invariance under inversion in the unit circle. If such a function satisfies a positivity assumption on the unit circle, then only zero partial indices appear in its Riemann-Hilbert (Wiener-Hopf)…

We study the properties of the discrete Wigner distribution for two qubits introduced by Wotters. In particular, we analyze the entanglement properties within the Wigner distribution picture by considering the negativity of the Wigner…

The Wigner function shares several properties with classical distribution functions on phase space, but is not positive-definite. The integral of the Wigner function over a given region of phase space can therefore lie outside the interval…

In this paper, we develop a quantitative inverse theory for the Gowers uniformity norm $\|\cdot\|_{\mathsf{U}^4}$ in general finite abelian groups. We identify a new type of obstructions to uniformity, which we call almost-cubic…

We prove the inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}[N]-norm for all s >= 3; this is new for s > 3, and the cases s<3 have also been previously established. More precisely, we establish that if f : [N] -> [-1,1] is a function with || f…

We link together three themes which had remained separated so far: the Hilbert space properties of the Riemann zeros, the ``dual Poisson formula'' of Duffin-Weinberger (also named by us co-Poisson formula), and the ``Sonine spaces'' of…
