| | | | | Continuing on from the previous post, I look at cases where the abstract concept of states on algebras correspond to classical probability measures. Up until now, we have considered commutative real algebras but, before going further, it will help to look instead at algebras over the complex numbers $latex {{\mathbb C}}&fg=000000$. In the commutative case,... | |

| | | | | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists... | |

| | | | | (Part I of this post ishere) Let $latex p(n)$ denote the partition function, which describes the number of ways to write $latex n$ as a sum of positive integers, ignoring order. In 1918 Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $latex p(n)$ is given asymptotically by $latex \displaystyle p(n) \approx \frac{1}{4n \sqrt{3}} \exp \left( \pi \sqrt{ \frac{2n}{3}... | |

| | | With Alexandros Eskenazis we posted a paper on arxiv "Learning low-degree functions from a logarithmic number of random queries" exponentially improving randomized query complexity for low degree functions. Perhaps a very basic question one asks in learning theory is as follows: there is an unknown function $latex f : \{-1,1\}^{n} \to \mathbb{R}$, and we are... | ||
