| | For probability space $latex (\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ with $latex A \in \mathcal{F}$ the indicator random variable $latex {\bf 1}_A : \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R} = \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} 1, & \omega \in A \\ 0, & \omega \notin A \end{array} \right.$ Than expected value of the indicator variable is the probability of the event $latex \omega \in...

| | This post is mainly devoted to a probabilistic proof of a famous theorem due to Schoenberg on radial positive definite functions. Let us begin with a general notion: we say that \( {K:\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}} \) is a positive definite kernel when \[ \forall n\geq1, \forall x_1,\ldots,x_n\in\mathbb{R}^d, \forall c\in\mathbb{C}^n, \quad\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^nc_iK(x_i,x_j)\bar{c}_j\geq0. \] When \( {K} \) is symmetric, i.e. \( {K(x,y)=K(y,x)} \) for...

| | In the book A=B, the authors point out that while the identity $latex \displaystyle{\sin^2(|10 + \pi x|) + \cos^2(|10 + \pi x|) = 1}$ is provable (by a very simple proof!), it's not possible to prove the truth or falsity of all such identities. This is because Daniel Richardson proved the following: Let $latex \mathcal{R}$...

| What follows are the opening paragraphs of a pdf document giving an argument for controlled natural languages in mathematics. At the recent Big Proof 2 conference in Edinburgh, I realized that a case must be made for developing a controlled natural language for mathematics. There is little consensus on this issue, and mathematicians and computer...
