We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...
We study fixed points with N scalar fields in 4 - epsilon dimensions to leading order in epsilon using a bottom-up approach. We do so by analyzing O(N) invariants of the quartic coupling lambda(ijkl) that describes such CFTs. In particular, we show that la ...
We consider a setup in which confidential i.i.d. samples X1, . . . , Xn from an unknown finite-support distribution p are passed through n copies of a discrete privatization chan- nel (a.k.a. mechanism) producing outputs Y1, . . . , Yn. The channel law gua ...
Quantum field theories (QFTs) are the backbone upon which the edifice of modern physics is built. In this thesis we explore the S-matrix bootstrap which is a non-perturbative method that constrains the vast space of QFTs by using consistency conditions tha ...
Optimal transport aims to estimate a transportation plan that minimizes a displacement cost. This is realized by optimizing the scalar product between the sought plan and the given cost, over the space of doubly stochastic matrices. When the entropy regula ...
By using the first-principles approach, we derive a system of three quantum kinetic equations governing the production and evolution of charged scalar particles by an electric field in an expanding universe. Analyzing the ultraviolet asymptotic behavior of ...
We study the electrical conductivity of hot Abelian plasma containing scalar charge carriers in the leading logarithmic order in coupling constant alpha using the Boltzmann kinetic equation. The leading contribution to the collision integral is due to the ...
In this work, we consider open-boundary conditions at high temperatures, as they can potentially be of help to measure the topological susceptibility. In particular, we measure the extent of the boundary effects at T = 1.5T(C) and T = 2.7T(C). In the first ...
The convergence of properly time-scaled and normalized maxima of independent standard Brownian motions to the Brown-Resnick process is well-known in the literature. In this paper, we study the extremal functional behavior of non-Gaussian processes, namely ...
We prove that the category of systems of sesquilinear forms over a given hermitian category is equivalent to the category of unimodular 1-hermitian forms over another hermitian category. The sesquilinear forms are not required to be unimodular or defined o ...
