Randomness is a central concept to statistics and physics. Here, a statistical analysis shows experimental evidence that tossing coins and finding last digits of prime numbers are identical regarding statistics for equally likely outcomes.…

In this short paper, we consider a quadruple $(\Omega, \AA, \theta, \mu)$,where $\AA$ is a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of $\Omega$, and $\theta$ is a measurable bijection from $\Omega$ into itself that preserves the measure $\mu$. For each…

Let p_n denote the persistence probability that the first n iterated partial sums of integrable, zero-mean, i.i.d. random variables X_k, are negative. We show that p_n is bounded above up to universal constant by the square root of the…

In this paper we consider two branching processes living in a joint random environment. Assuming that both processes are critical we address the following question: What is the probability that both populations survive up to a large time…

We study purity decay -- a measure of bipartite entanglement -- in a chain of $n$ qubits under the action of various geometries of nearest-neighbor random two-site unitary gates. We use a Markov chain description of average purity…

Let $\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n$ be random variables from Dyson's circular $\beta$-ensemble with probability density function $\operatorname {Const}\cdot\prod_{1\leq j<k\leq n}|e^{i\theta_j}-e^{i\theta _k}|^{\beta}$. For each $n\geq2$ and…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We suppose that the distributions of…

We studied numerically the validity of the fluctuation theorem, introduced by Evans,Cohen and Morris and proved by Gallavotti and Cohen, for a 2-dimensional system of particles maintained in a steady shear flow by Maxwell daemon boundary…

We investigate quantum walks in multiple dimensions with different quantum coins. We augment the model by assuming that at each step the amplitudes of the coin state are multiplied by random phases. This model enables us to study in detail…

We are interested in studying the stationary solutions and phase transitions of aggregation equations with degenerate diffusion of porous medium-type, with exponent $1 < m < \infty$. We first prove the existence of possibly infinitely many…

Renormalization group theory does not restrict the from of continuous variation of critical exponents which occurs in presence of a marginal operator. However, the continuous variation of critical exponents, observed in different contexts,…

We calculate the $\theta$ dependence in a cousin of QCD, where the vacuum structure can be analyzed exactly. The theory is $\mathcal{N}=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory with $N_F=0,1,2,3$ flavors of fundamentals, explicitly broken to $\mathcal{N}=1$…

Let $X$ be a continuous-time strongly mixing or weakly dependent process and $T$ a renewal process independent of $X$ with inter-arrival times $\tau$. We show general conditions under which the sampled process $(X_{T_i},T_i-T_{i-1})^{\top}$…

We study U(1) gauge theory on a 4d non-commutative torus, where two directions are non-commutative. Monte Carlo simulations are performed after mapping the regularized theory onto a U(N) lattice gauge theory in d=2. At intermediate coupling…

Here we study the Renormalization group flow of $SU(N)\times U(1)$ gauge theory with $M$-fundamental bosons in $4-\epsilon$ dimension by calculating the beta functions. We found a new stable fixed point in the zero mass plane for…
