We consider scalar field theory defined over a direct product of the real and $p$-adic numbers. An adjustable dynamical scaling exponent $z$ enters into the microscopic lagrangian, so that the Gaussian theories provide a line of fixed…

The Collective Graphical Model (CGM) models a population of independent and identically distributed individuals when only collective statistics (i.e., counts of individuals) are observed. Exact inference in CGMs is intractable, and previous…

Skew-symmetric functions are a class of functions defined on a product space $M \times M$ that are antisymmetric with respect to the order of their inputs. In [13], the authors proved that non-deterministic skew-symmetric Gaussian fields…

We use on-shell amplitude techniques to study the possible $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetrizations of Galileon theories in 3+1 dimensions, both in the limit of decoupling from DBI and without. Our results are that (1) the quartic Galileon has…

Variable selection for a multiple regression model (Noisy Linear Perceptron) is studied with a mean field approximation. In our Bayesian framework, variable selection is formulated as estimation of discrete parameters that indicate a subset…
