We consider an \eps-approximation by n-term partial sums of the Karhunen-Lo\`eve expansion to d-parametric random fields of tensor product-type in the average case setting. We investigate the behavior, as d tends to infinity, of the…

The BK inequality (\cite{BK85}) says that,for product measures on $\{0,1\}^n$, the probability that two increasing events $A$ and $B$ `occur disjointly' is at most the product of the two individual probabilities. The conjecture in…

Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…

In this paper, we construct a class of random measures $\mu^{\mathbf{n}}$ by infinite convolutions. Given infinitely many admissible pairs $\{(N_{k}, B_{k})\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$ and a positive integral sequence…

I explain the difficulty of making various concepts of and relating to probability precise, rigorous and physically significant when attempting to apply them in reasoning about objects (e.g., spacetimes) living in infinite-dimensional…

We investigate the following questions: Given a measure $\mu_\Lambda$ on configurations on a subset $\Lambda$ of a lattice $\mathbb{L}$, where a configuration is an element of $\Omega^\Lambda$ for some fixed set $\Omega$, does there exist a…

We consider a sequence $\mathbf{T} = (\mathcal{T}_n : n \in \mathbb{N}^+)$ of trees $\mathcal{T}_n$ where, for some $\Delta \in \mathbb{N}^+$ every $\mathcal{T}_n$ has height at most $\Delta$ and as $n \to \infty$ the minimal number of…

We prove in a direct fashion that a multidimensional probability measure is determinate if the higher dimensional analogue of Carleman's condition is satisfied. In that case, the polynomials, as well as certain proper subspaces of the…

Even when completely and consistently formulated, a fundamental theory of physics and cosmological boundary conditions may not give unambiguous and unique predictions for the universe we observe; indeed inflation, string/M theory, and…

The duality $L^{\infty}\simeq (L^{1})'$ frequently breaks down in the presence of model uncertainty, where a single reference measure $P$ is replaced by a non-dominated family of probability measures $\mathcal{P}$. The unavailability of…

A circle, centered at the origin and with radius chosen so that it has non-empty intersection with the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$, gives rise to a probability measure on the unit circle in a natural way. Such measures, and their weak…

We study existence of random elements with partially specified distributions. The technique relies on the existence of a positive extension for linear functionals accompanied by additional conditions that ensure the regularity of the…

We explore how the asymptotic structure of a random permutation of $[n]$ with $m$ inversions evolves, as $m$ increases, establishing thresholds for the appearance and disappearance of any classical, consecutive or vincular pattern. The…

We ask the question whether entropy accumulates, in the sense that the operationally relevant total uncertainty about an $n$-partite system $A = (A_1, \ldots A_n)$ corresponds to the sum of the entropies of its parts $A_i$. The Asymptotic…

We characterize the existence of certain geometric configurations in the fractal percolation limit set $A$ in terms of the almost sure dimension of $A$. Some examples of the configurations we study are: homothetic copies of finite sets,…

The assumption that a complete description of an early state of the universe does not privilege any position or direction in space leads to a unified account of probability in cosmology, macroscopic physics, and quantum mechanics. Such a…

Contextuality is usually defined as absence of a joint distribution for a set of measurements (random variables) with known joint distributions of some of its subsets. However, if these subsets of measurements are not disjoint,…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence (in the sense of finite dimensional distributions) of multiplicative measures on the set of partitions. We show that this convergence is equivalent to asymptotic independence…

The Bernoulli convolution with parameter $\lambda\in(0,1)$ is the probability measure $\mu_\lambda$ that is the law of the random variable $\sum_{n\ge0}\pm\lambda^n$, where the signs are independent unbiased coin tosses. We prove that each…

Let $P_n$ and $Q_n$ be two probability measures representing two different probabilistic models of some system (e.g., an $n$-particle equilibrium system, a set of random graphs with $n$ vertices, or a stochastic process evolving over a time…
