The Kolmogorov–Riesz compactness theorem

We show that the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem and Kolmogorov compactness theorem both are consequences of a simple lemma on compactness in metric spaces. Their relation to Helly's theorem is discussed. The paper contains a detailed discussion on the historical background of the Kolmogorov compactness theorem.     

Why is \mathcal{CPT} Fundamental?

Lüders and Pauli proved the theorem based on Lagrangian quantum field theory almost half a century ago. Jost gave a more general proof based on “axiomatic” field theory nearly as long ago. The axiomatic point of view has two advantages over the Lagrangian one. First, the axiomatic point of view makes clear why is fundamental—because it is intimately related to Lorentz invariance. Secondly, the axiomatic proof gives a simple way to calculate the transform of any relativistic field without calculating , and separately and then multiplying them. The purpose of this pedagogical paper is to “deaxiomatize” the theorem by explaining it in a few simple steps. We use theorems of distribution theory and of several complex variables without proof to make the exposition elementary.     

Generalized Uncertainty Principle and Thermodynamic Quantities of SAdS5 Black Hole

Recently, there has been much attention devoted to resolving the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein- Hawking black hole entropy. The different correction leading terms are obtained by the different methods. In this paper, we calculate the correction to SAdS5 black hole thermodynamic quantity due to the generalized uncertainty principle. Furthermore we derive that the black hole entropy obeys Bekenstein Hawking area theorem. The entropy has infinite correction terms. And every term is finite and calculable. The corrected Cardy-Vedinde formula is derived. In our calculation, Bekenstein Hawking area theorem still holds after considering the generalized uncertainty principle. We have not introduced any hypothesis. The calculation is simple. Physics meaning is clear. We note that our results are quite general. It is not only valid for four-dimensional spacetime but also for higher-dimensional SAdS spacetime.     

Compressibility of random walker trajectories on growing networks

We find that the simple coupling of network growth to the position of a random walker on the network generates a traveling wave in the probability distribution of nodes visited by the walker. We argue that the entropy of this probability distribution is bounded as the network size tends to infinity. This means that the growth of a space coupled to a random walker situated in it constrains its dynamics to a set of typical random walker trajectories, and walker trajectories inside the growing space are compressible.     

Existence,compactness, and connectedness of solution sets to nonlocal and impulsive Cauchy problems

In this paper, by using some well-known inequalities and Schaefer fixed point theorem, we show existence results for impulsive Cauchy problems with nonlocal conditions. The compactness of solution sets can be shown in some certain conditions. Moreover, connectedness of solution sets to impulsive Cauchy problems is shown.     

Probabilities of incidence between lines and a plane curve over finite fields

We study the probability for a random line to intersect a given plane curve, over a finite field, in a given number of points over the same field. In particular, we focus on the limits of these probabilities under successive finite field extensions. Supposing absolute irreducibility for the curve, we show how a variant of the Chebotarev density theorem for function fields can be used to prove the existence of these limits, and to compute them under a mildly stronger condition, known as simple tangency. Partial results have already appeared in the literature, and we propose this work as an introduction to the use of the Chebotarev theorem in the context of incidence geometry. Finally, Veronese maps allow us to compute similar probabilities of intersection between a given curve and random curves of given degree.     

On normal approximation of discounted and strongly mixing random variables

We estimate the difference for bounded functions h: ℝ → ℝ satisfying the Lipschitz condition, where Z _v = B _v ⁻¹ ∑ _i=0 ^∞ v ⁱ X _i and with discount factor ν such that 0 < ν < 1. Here {X _n , n ≥ 0} is a sequence of strongly mixing random variables with , and N is a standard normal random variable. In a particular case, the obtained upper bounds are of order O((1 − ν)^1/2).

Nonlocality Without Nonlocality

Bell’s theorem is purported to demonstrate the impossibility of a local “hidden variable” theory underpinning quantum mechanics. It relies on the well-known assumption of ‘locality’, and also on a little-examined assumption called ‘statistical independence’ (SI). Violations of this assumption have variously been thought to suggest “backward causation”, a “conspiracy” on the part of nature, or the denial of “free will”. It will be shown here that these are spurious worries, and that denial of SI simply implies nonlocal correlation between spacelike degrees of freedom. Lorentz-invariant theories in which SI does not hold are easily constructed: two are exhibited here. It is conjectured, on this basis, that quantum-mechanical phenomena may be modeled by a local theory after all. This paper is dedicated to the memory of John A. Wheeler.
