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...

If $latex Y$ is a $latex \sigma(X)$-measurable random variable then there exists a Borel-measurable function $latex f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $latex Y = f(X)$. The standard proof of this fact leaves several questions unanswered. This note explains what goes wrong when attempting a "direct" proof. It also explains how the standard proof...

Let $latex \omega$ denote the first infinite cardinal - that is, the set of non-negative integers. Let $latex p_0 = 2$ be the smallest prime number, and let $latex (p_n)_{n\in\omega}$ enumerate all prime numbers in ascending order. Let $latex \mathcal{U}$ be a free ultrafilter on $latex \omega$. We consider the field $latex F = \big(\prod_{n\in\omega}\mathbb{Z}/p_n\mathbb{Z}\big)/{\mathcal...

The Riemann zeta function $latex \zeta(s)$ can be expressed as $latex \zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$, for complex numbers s whose real part is greater than 1. By analytic continuation, $latex \zeta(s)$ can be extended to all complex numbers except where $latex s = 1$. The power sum $latex S_a(M)$ is given by $latex S_a(M) =...
