Systems with a long-term stationary state that possess as a spatio-temporally fluctuation quantity $\beta$ can be described by a superposition of several statistics, a "super statistics". We consider first, the Gamma, log-normal and…

Given a random subspace $H_n$ chosen uniformly in a tensor product of Hilbert spaces $V_n\otimes W$, we consider the collection $K_n$ of all singular values of all norm one elements of $H_n$ with respect to the tensor structure. A law of…

In any spacetime, it is possible to have a family of observers following a congruence of timelike curves such that they do not have access to part of the spacetime. This lack of information suggests associating a (congruence dependent)…
