In this paper, we reprove a global converse theorem of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro using purely global methods.
Free will is an old philosophical enigma that has been recently revived by neuropsychology. We restrict ourselves to the problem that determinism seems to allow only an illusion of freedom but random decissions do not contain any freedom…
We show that the ability to consider counterfactual situations is a necessary assumption of Bell's theorem, and that, to allow Bell inequality violations while maintaining all other assumptions, we just require certain measurement choices…
A classical system violating the Bell inequality is discussed. The system is local, deterministic, observers have free will, and detectors are ideal so that no data are lost. The trick is based on two elements. First, a state of one…
We comment on the paper "Teleportation with a uniformly accelerated partner" (quant-ph/0302179).
In honor of Alan Turing's hundredth birthday, I unwisely set out some thoughts about one of Turing's obsessions throughout his life, the question of physics and free will. I focus relatively narrowly on a notion that I call "Knightian…
In a recent technical critique of the free energy principle (FEP) due to Aguilera-Millidge-Tschantz-Buckley, it is argued that there are a number of instances where the FEP$\unicode{x2014}$as conventionally written, in terms of densities…
This expository paper focuses on free Lie $K$-algebras and the basic PBW theorem. We argue in various ways that the basic PBW theorem is a quite close consequence of the Magnus-Witt theorems concerning free Lie algebras.
This paper introduces the notion of pseudo-independence on the sublinear expectation space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},\mathcal{P})$ via the classical conditional expectation, and the relations between pseudo-independence and Peng's independence…
A review of our recent works on free product actions, partly in collaborations with Dimitri Shlyakhtenko and with Fumio Hiai, is given. We also work out type III theoretic subfactor analysis on the subfactors constructed in our previous…
This note corrects Example 3.2 in Two-Variable Wiman-Valiron Theory and PDEs by the authors which appeared in Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn Math. (35) (2010), 571-580.
We discuss Wiseman, Cavalcanti and Rieffel's "thoughtful" local friendliness no-go theorem and the experimental programme they propose to test local friendliness inequalities. We argue that, to prove the theorem, the assumptions need to be…
We prove the Freiheitssatz for right-symmetric algebras and the decidability of the word problem for right-symmetric algebras with a single defining relation. We also prove that two generated subalgebras of free right-symmetric algebras are…
In this short note we present some remarks and conjectures on two of Erd\"os's open problems in number theory.
Today's science provides quite a lean picture of time as a mere geometric evolution parameter. I argue that time is much richer. In particular, I argue that besides the geometric time, there is creative time, when objective chance events…
We present a powerful theorem for proving the irreducibility of tempered unitary representations of the free group.
We hope here to provide the community with a convenient account of our viewpoint on the claims made by Chen et al. about our results on two-dimensional polar flocks.
We continue investigating rational quartic reciprocity laws and, at the suggestion of the editor of AA, provide details of a proof of a remark in the first article with this title.
In this paper we prove the theorem on freedom for relatively free Lie algebras with a single relation (analogous with the well-known result of Shirshov) and a generalized Freiheitssatz for relatively free Lie algebras (analogous with the…
Two measures of how near an arbitrary function between groups is to being a homomorphism are considered. These have properties similar to conjugates and commutators. The authors show that there is a rich theory based on these structures,…
