We consider space-times with two isometries which represent gravitational waves with distinct wavefronts which propagate into exact Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universes. The geometry of possible wavefronts is analysed in detail in all…
In distributed systems where strong consistency is costly when not impossible, causal consistency provides a valuable abstraction to represent program executions as partial orders. In addition to the sequential program order of each…
In quantum geometry, we consider a set of loops, a compact orientable surface and a solid compact spatial region, all inside $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3 \equiv \mathbb{R}^4$, which forms a triple. We want to define an ambient isotopic…
Causality plays an important role in understanding intelligent behavior, and there is a wealth of literature on mathematical models for causality, most of which is focused on causal graphs. Causal graphs are a powerful tool for a wide range…
Convergent Cross-Mapping (CCM) is a technique for computing specific kinds of correlations between sets of times series. It was introduced by Sugihara et al. and is reported to be "a necessary condition for causation" capable of…
Identifying causal order from restricted projective data is generally nontrivial. When two quantum players interact only through an unobserved environment, the available local measurement statistics are typically not tomographically…
Lee homology (a variant of Khovanov homology) over $\mathbb{Q}$ possesses the "canonical generators" as its basis. The generators (Lee's classes) $[\alpha(D, o)]$ are constructed combinatorially from an oriented link diagram $D$, one for…
The process of wave propagation in an infinite linear chain is analyzed. Established, that dispersion relation between the angular frequency and the wave number for transverse waves differs from similar dependencies for longitudinal.
We pose causal inference as the problem of learning to classify probability distributions. In particular, we assume access to a collection $\{(S_i,l_i)\}_{i=1}^n$, where each $S_i$ is a sample drawn from the probability distribution of $X_i…
The theory of signature invariants of links in rational homology spheres is applied to covering links of homology boundary links. From patterns and Seifert matrices of homology boundary links, an explicit formula is derived to compute…
The work is inspired by thermo-and photoacoustic imaging, where recent efforts are devoted to take into account attenuation and varying wave speed parameters. In this paper we derive and analyze causal equations describing propagation of…
We consider a system of two reaction-diffusion-advection equations describing the one dimensional directed motion of particles with superimposed diffusion and mutual alignment. For this system we show the existence of traveling wave…
We develop a model for correlations of cosmic microwave background anisotropy on the largest angular scales, based on standard causal geometrical relationships in slow-roll inflation. Unlike standard models based on quantized field modes,…
We describe a probabilistic method of cross-identifying astrophysical sources in two catalogs from their positions and positional uncertainties. The probability that an object is associated with a source from the other catalog, or that it…
This paper proposes a causal inference relation and causal programming as general frameworks for causal inference with structural causal models. A tuple, $\langle M, I, Q, F \rangle$, is an instance of the relation if a formula, $F$,…
We consider Maxwell theory on a non-spin manifold. Depending on the choice of statistics for line operators, there are three non-anomalous theories and one anomalous theory with different symmetry fractionalizations. We establish the…
Nonclassical causal modeling was developed in order to explain violations of Bell inequalities while adhering to relativistic causal structure and faithfulness -- that is, avoiding fine-tuned causal explanations. Recently, a no-go theorem…
The initial singularity is the most troubling feature of the standard cosmology, which quantum effects are hoped to resolve. In this paper, we study quantum cosmology with conformal (Weyl) invariant matter. We show it is natural to extend…
We study the diffusion front for a natural two-dimensional model where many particles starting at the origin diffuse independently. It turns out that this model can be described using properties of near-critical percolation, and provides a…
Motivated by work on the homotopy classification of $4$-manifolds with boundary, we define a relative $k$-invariant for pairs of spaces that are homotopy equivalent to CW pairs. We show that for such a pair $(X,Y)$ with Postnikov $2$-type…
