We investigate the question of unitarity of evolution between hypersurfaces in quantum field theory in curved spacetime from the perspective of the general boundary formulation. Unitarity thus means unitarity of the quantum operator that…
Evolutionary branching is analysed in a stochastic, individual-based population model under mutation and selection. In such models, the common assumption is that individual reproduction and life career are characterised by values of a…
We develop a unified spectral framework for finite ultrametric phylogenetic trees, grounding the analysis of phylogenetic structure in operator theory and stochastic dynamics in the finite setting. For a given finite ultrametric measure…
We propose a type-dependent branching model with mutation and competition for modeling phylogenies of a virus population. The competition kernel depends for any two virus particles on the particles' types, the total mass of the population…
The formulation of quantum mechanics within the framework of entropic dynamics is extended to the domain of relativistic quantum fields. The result is a non-dissipative relativistic diffusion in the infinite dimensional space of field…
QCD evolution equations that naturally include longitudinal (non-propagating) fields and heavy quarks are derived. We start with the integral equations of quantum field kinetics and obtain the master equations, similar to DGLAP evolution…
The birth/death process with mutation describes the evolution of a population, and displays rich dynamics including clustering and fluctuations. We discuss an analytical `field-theoretical' approach to the birth/death process, using a…
It was recently observed by de Vienne et al. that a simple square root transformation of distances between taxa on a phylogenetic tree allowed for an embedding of the taxa into Euclidean space. While the justification for this was based on…
Computational inference of dated evolutionary histories relies upon various hypotheses about RNA, DNA, and protein sequence mutation rates. Using mutation rates to infer these dated histories is referred to as molecular clock assumption.…
Quantum generative modeling is emerging as a powerful tool for advancing data analysis in high-energy physics, where complex multivariate distributions are common. However, efficiently learning and sampling these distributions remains…
An essential aspect of noncommutative field theories is their bilocal nature. This feature, and its role in the IR/UV mixing, are discussed using a canonical quantization procedure developed recently.
A time dependent variational approach is considered to derive the equations of movement for the $\lambda \phi^4$ model. The temporal evolution of the model is performed numerically in the frame of the Gaussian approximation in a lattice of…
Starting with Maxwell's equations and defining normal variables in the Fourier space, we write the equations of temporal evolution of the electromagnetic field with sources in the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian forms, making explicit all…
Recent developments in quantum gravity suggest that wormholes may influence the observed values of the constants of nature. The Euclidean formulation of quantum gravity predicts that wormholes induce a probability distribution in the space…
Phylogenomics is a new field which applies to tools in phylogenetics to genome data. Due to a new technology and increasing amount of data, we face new challenges to analyze them over a space of phylogenetic trees. Because a space of…
In the paper it is shown that, even without a knowledge of the concrete form of the equations of mathematical physics and field theories, with the help of skew-symmetric differential forms one can see specific features of the equations of…
Nonlinear and nonlinear evolution equations of the form $u_t=\L u \pm|\nabla u|^q$, where $\L$ is a pseudodifferential operator representing the infinitesimal generator of a L\'evy stochastic process, have been derived as models for growing…
Simple stochastic models for phylogenetic trees on species have been well studied. But much paleontology data concerns time series or trees on higher-order taxa, and any broad picture of relationships between extant groups requires use of…
Hamiltonian and Schrodinger evolution equations on finite-dimensional projective space are analyzed in detail. Hartree-Fock (HF) manifold is introduced as a submanifold of many electron projective space of states. Evolution equations, exact…
We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, classical, globally hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the formulation of the theory and presents known results in a…
