| | | | | Suppose we want to understand under what conditions on $latex B$ we have $latex \begin{aligned} \mathbb{E} B(f(X), g(Y))\leq B(\mathbb{E}f(X), \mathbb{E} g(Y)) \end{aligned}$holds for all test functions, say real valued $latex f,g$, where $latex X, Y$ are some random variables (not necessarily all possible random variables!). If $latex X=Y$, i.e., $latex X$ and $latex Y$ are... | |

| | | | | In my last blog post, I discussed a simple proof of the fact that pi is irrational. That pi is in fact transcendental was first proved in 1882 by Ferdinand von Lindemann, who showed that if $latex \alpha$ is a nonzero complex number and $latex e^\alpha$ is algebraic, then $latex \alpha$ must be transcendental. Since... | |

| | | | | In our last primer we looked at a number of interesting examples of metric spaces, that is, spaces in which we can compute distance in a reasonable way. Our goal for this post is to relax this assumption. That is, we want to study the geometric structure of space without the ability to define distance. That is not to say that some notion of distance necessarily exists under the surface somewhere, but rather that we include a whole new class of spaces for which no notion of distance makes sense. | |
