In a previous study (quant-ph/9911058), several remarkably simple exact results were found, in certain specialized m-dimensional scenarios (m<5), for the a priori probability that a pair of qubits is unentangled/separable. The measure used…

If the probability distribution model aims to approximate the hidden mother distribution, it is imperative to establish a useful criterion for the resemblance between the mother and the model distributions. This study proposes a criterion…

A consequence of de Finetti's representation theorem is that for every infinite sequence of exchangeable 0-1 random variables $(X_k)_{k\geq1}$, there exists a probability measure $\mu$ on the Borel sets of $[0,1]$ such that $\bar X_n =…

In this paper, we consider the relationship between the Mahler measure of a polynomial and its separation. In 1964, Mahler proved that if $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is separable of degree $n$, then $\operatorname{sep}(f) \gg_n M(f)^{-(n-1)}$.…
