We study the most-informative Boolean function conjecture using a differential equation approach. This leads to a formulation of a functional inequality on finite-dimensional random variables. We also develop a similar inequality in the…
The relationship between the nonlinear Schrodinger hierarchy and the parafermion and SL(2,R)/U(1) coset models, analogous to the relationship between the KdV hierarchy and the minimal models, is explained. To do this I first present an in…
The chiral and $1/N_c$ expansions are combined in the description of low energy baryons. The combination furnishes a better behaved expansion, consequence of exactly eliminating large terms that violate the $1/N_c$ expansion and which are…
We investigate the limit of minimal model conformal field theories where the central charge approaches one. We conjecture that this limit is described by a non-rational CFT of central charge one. The limiting theory is different from the…
Human agents happen to judge that a conjunction of two terms is more probable than one of the terms, in contradiction with the rules of classical probabilities---this is the conjunction fallacy. One of the most discussed accounts of this…
We derive a torsionfull version of three-dimensional N=2 Newton-Cartan supergravity using a non-relativistic notion of the superconformal tensor calculus. The "superconformal" theory that we start with is Schr\"odinger supergravity which we…
This paper consists of two (still only vaguely) related parts: in the first, we briefly review work done in the past three years on the ``planar equivalence" between a class of non-supersymmetric theories (including limiting cases of QCD)…
Recent work shows not only the necessity of a 1/N_c expansion to explain the observed mass spectrum of the lightest baryons, but also that at least two distinct large N_c expansions, in which quarks transform under either the color…
The tensor product of two holomorphic discrete series representations of $SU(1,1)$ can be decomposed as a direct sum of infinitely many discrete series. I shall introduce equivariant quantum channels for each component of the direct sum,…
In this paper, we consider an environment in which the utilitarian theorem for the NM utility function derived by Harsanyi and the utilitarian theorem for Alt's utility function derived by Harvey hold simultaneously, and prove that the NM…
In the recent years a lot of effort has been made to extend the theory of hyperholomorphic functions from the setting of associative Clifford algebras to non-associative Cayley-Dickson algebras, starting with the octonions. An important…
Put n open non-overlapping squares inside a unit square, and let f(n) denote the maximum possible value of the sum of the side lengths of the n squares. Campbell and Staton, building on a question of Erdos, conjectured that…
The main purpose of this short note is to present an adaptation of the multilinear Bellman function technique from [4] to the time-frequency analysis. Demeter and Thiele introduced the two-dimensional bilinear Hilbert transform in [3] and…
We define new families of noncommutative symmetric functions and quasi-symmetric functions depending on two matrices of parameters, and more generally on parameters associated with paths in a binary tree. Appropriate specializations of both…
This paper establishes quantitative correlation inequalities between monotone events and structured threshold objects in both the discrete cube and Gaussian space. We prove that for any increasing balanced family, there exists a linear…
We study discrete random variants of the Carleson maximal operator. Intriguingly, these questions remain subtle and difficult, even in this setting. Let $\{X_m\}$ be an independent sequence of $\{0,1\}$ random variables with expectations \[…
Cumulative logics are studied in an abstract setting, i.e., without connectives, very much in the spirit of Makinson's early work. A powerful representation theorem characterizes those logics by choice functions that satisfy a weakening of…
Transport theory for the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is examined. The collision term is investigated in a first approach in a coupling strength expansion. It can be demonstrated that this leads to a form easily recognized from the…
The relation between Pearson's correlation coefficient and Salton's cosine measure is revealed based on the different possible values of the division of the L1-norm and the L2-norm of a vector. These different values yield a sheaf of…
We define an equivalence relation on integer compositions and show that two ribbon Schur functions are identical if and only if their defining compositions are equivalent in this sense. This equivalence is completely determined by means of…
