By fractional relativity we mean a theoretical framework to study physics with the dispersion relation $E^{\alpha}=m^{\alpha}c^{2\alpha}+p^{\alpha}c^{\alpha}$, which recovers special relativity at $\alpha=2$. One such framework is…

Relative entropy is a powerful measure of the dissimilarity between two statistical field theories in the continuum. In this work, we study the relative entropy between Gaussian scalar field theories in a finite volume with different masses…

Talagrand's inequalities make a link between two fundamentals concepts of probability: transport of measures and entropy. The study of the counterpart of these inequalities in the context of free probability has been initiated by Biane and…

Wide conditions are provided to guarantee asymptotic unbiasedness and L^2-consistency of the introduced estimates of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for probability measures in R^d having densities w.r.t. the Lebesgue measure. These…

We study the question of how reliably one can distinguish two quantum field theories (QFTs). Each QFT defines a probability distribution on the space of fields. The relative entropy provides a notion of proximity between these distributions…

We establish dimension-free quantum Talagrand-type inequalities with explicit constants on the quantum Boolean cube, via a unified variance-decay perspective. For individual observables, short-time variance decay along the depolarizing…

We study the approximation of arbitrary distributions $P$ on $d$-dimensional space by distributions with log-concave density. Approximation means minimizing a Kullback--Leibler-type functional. We show that such an approximation exists if…

There exists a positive function $\psi(t)${on}$t\geq0${, with fast decay at infinity, such that for every measurable set}$\Omega${in the Euclidean space and}$R>0${, there exist entire functions}$A(x) ${and}$B(x) ${of exponential type}$R${,…

Thermodynamic extensivity is commonly introduced as a postulate -- the homogeneity of degree one in thermodynamic potentials. We provide a constructive derivation of this property from microscopic conditions on the pair potential, without…
