Using arguments built on ergodicity, we derive an analytical expression for the Renyi entanglement entropies corresponding to the finite-energy density eigenstates of chaotic many-body Hamiltonians. The expression is a universal function of…
We discuss basic statistical properties of systems with multifractal structure. This is possible by extending the notion of the usual Gibbs--Shannon entropy into more general framework - Renyi's information entropy. We address the…
In this paper we give an interpretation of Tsallis' nonextensive statistical mechanics based upon the information-theoretic point of view of Luzzi et al. [cond-mat/0306217; cond-mat/0306247; cond-mat/0307325], suggesting Tsallis' entropy to…
The R\'enyi entropy is a generalization of the Shannon entropy and is widely used in mathematical statistics and applied sciences for quantifying the uncertainty in a probability distribution. We consider estimation of the quadratic R\'enyi…
Renyi's "thinning" operation on a discrete random variable is a natural discrete analog of the scaling operation for continuous random variables. The properties of thinning are investigated in an information-theoretic context, especially in…
Using rapidity evolution equations we study two-to-two gauge-theory scattering amplitudes in the Regge limit. We carry out explicit computations at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy through four loops and present new results for…
We provide a unifying axiomatics for Renyi's entropy and non-extensive entropy of Tsallis. It is shown that the resulting entropy coincides with Csiszar's measure of directed divergence known from communication theory.
The high energy (Regge) limit provides a playground for understanding all loop structures of scattering amplitudes, and plays an important role in the description of many phenomenologically relevant cross-sections. While well understood in…
Several Regge-phenomenological models of forward scattering at high energies are considered. It was found that one of them corresponds to the form of finite series in log s with additional terms that represent the exchanges of…

We consider high-energy fixed-angle scattering of glueballs in confining gauge theories that have supergravity duals. Although the effective description is in terms of the scattering of strings, we find that the amplitudes are hard (power…
We consider a possible generalization of the random matrix theory, which involves the maximization of Tsallis' $q$-parametrized entropy. We discuss the dependence of the spacing distribution on $q$ using a non-extensive generalization of…
We study relativistic scattering when one only has access to a subset of the particles, using the language of quantum measurement theory. We give an exact, non-perturbative formula for the von Neumann entanglement entropy of an apparatus…
Statistical mechanics relies on the complete though probabilistic description of a system in terms of all the microscopic variables. Its object is to derive therefrom static and dynamic properties involving some reduced set of variables.…
We generalise the Erdos-Renyi limit theorem on the maximum of the partial sums of random variables to the case when the number of terms in these sums is randomly distributed. Certain relations between the limiting theorems of this type and…
Within the nonextensive framework, it is shown that zeroth law of thermodynamics determines not only the mapping between Lagrange multipliers and intensive variables, but also the mapping between nonextensive and extensive entropy. The form…
We review the basic assumptions and spell out the detailed arguments that lead to the bound on the Regge growth of gravitational scattering amplitudes. The minimal extra ingredient compared to the gapped case - in addition to unitarity,…
It is developed a Riemannian reformulation of classical statistical mechanics for systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, which arises as a natural extension of Ruppeiner geometry of thermodynamics. The present proposal leads to interpret…
Entropy and relative or cross entropy measures are two very fundamental concepts in information theory and are also widely used for statistical inference across disciplines. The related optimization problems, in particular the maximization…
The review is devoted to a discussion of new (and often unexpected) aspects of the old problem of elastic light scattering by small metal particles, whose size is comparable to or smaller than the thickness of the skin layer. The main focus…
