Random matrix theory has played a major role in several areas of pure and applied mathematics, as well as statistics, physics, and computer science. This lecture aims to describe the intrinsic freeness phenomenon and how it provides new…
Given entropy's central role in multiple areas of physics and science, one important task is to develop a systematic and unifying approach to defining entropy. Games of chance become a natural candidate for characterising the uncertainty of…
We partially generalize Peters' formula on modules over the group ring ${\mathbb F} \Gamma$ for a given finite field ${\mathbb F}$ and a sofic group $\Gamma$. It is also discussed that how the values of entropy are related to the zero…
We study the effect of the choice of embedding geometry on the entropy of random geometric graph ensembles with soft connection functions. First we show that when the connection range is small, the entropy is dependent only on the dimension…
Density contrasts in the universe are governed by scalar cosmological perturbations which, when expressed in terms of gauge-invariant variables, contain a classical component from scalar metric perturbations and a quantum component from…
Here we present an analytic approximation for the entropy of floating-point numbers, along with bounds on the error of this approximation. It is well-known that the differential entropy is tightly linked to the discrete entropy of a…
Free probability and random matrix theory has shown to be a fruitful combination in many fields of research, such as digital communications, nuclear physics and mathematical finance. The link between free probability and eigenvalue…
A dynamical estimate is given for the Boltzmann entropy of the Universe, under the simplifying assumptions provided by Newtonian cosmology. We first model the cosmological fluid as the probability fluid of a quantum-mechanical system. Next,…
We consider entanglement across a planar boundary in flat space. Entanglement entropy is usually thought of as the von Neumann entropy of a reduced density matrix, but it can also be thought of as half the von Neumann entropy of a product…
Using a family of graded algebra structures on a planar algebra and a family of traces coming from random matrix theory, we obtain a tower of non-commutative probability spaces, naturally associated to a given planar algebra. The associated…
Using Voiculescu's notion of a matricial microstate we introduce fractal dimensions and entropies for finite sets of selfadjoint operators in a tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that they possess properties similar to their classical…
A new concept named nonsymmetric entropy which generalizes the concepts of Boltzman's entropy and shannon's entropy, was introduced. Maximal nonsymmetric entropy principle was proven. Some important distribution laws were derived naturally…
To this day, von Neumann definition of entropy remains the most popular measure of quantum entanglement. Much of the literature on entanglement entropy, particularly in the context of field theory, has focused on isolating the UV…
We survey several notions of entropy related to a compact manifold of negative curvature, some relations between them, and the rigidity problems.
We study the algebraic entropy of continuous endomorphisms of compactly covered, locally compact, topologically quasihamiltonian groups. We provide a Limit-free formula which helps us to simplify the computations of this entropy. Moreover,…
Quantum information-theoretic approach has been identified as a way to understand the foundations of quantum mechanics as early as 1950 due to Shannon. However there hasn't been enough advancement or rigorous development of the subject. In…
A notion of entropy is introduced for causal fermion systems. This entropy is a measure of the state of disorder of a causal fermion system at a given time compared to the vacuum. The definition is given both in the finite and…
We consider the problem of defining free energy and other thermodynamic functions when the entropy is given as a general function of the probablity distribution, including that for non extensive forms. We find that the free energy, which is…
A problem of statistical estimation of a Hermitian nonnegatively definite matrix of unit trace (for instance, a density matrix in quantum state tomography) is studied. The approach is based on penalized least squares method with a…
In classical physics, entropy quantifies the randomness of large systems, where the complete specification of the state, though possible in theory, is not possible in practice. In quantum physics, despite its inherently probabilistic…
