Asymptotic Behavior of Heat Kernels on Spheres of Large Dimensions

Forn2, let (μ^x_τ, n)_τ0be the distributions of the Brownian motion on the unit sphereS^{n n+1}starting in some pointxSⁿ. This paper supplements results of Saloff-Coste concerning the rate of convergence ofμ^x_τ, nto the uniform distributionU_nonSⁿforτ→∞ depending on the dimensionn. We show that,[formula]forτ_n:=(ln n+2s)/(2n), where erf denotes the error function. Our proof depends on approximations of the measuresμ^x_τ, nby measures which are known explicitly via Poisson kernels onSⁿ, and which tend, after suitable projections and dilatations, to normal distributions on forn→∞. The above result as well as some further related limit results will be derived in this paper in the slightly more general context of Jacobi-type hypergroups.     

Simple Explanation of the No-Free-Lunch Theorem and Its Implications

The no-free-lunch theorem of optimization (NFLT) is an impossibility theorem telling us that a general-purpose, universal optimization strategy is impossible. The only way one strategy can outperform another is if it is specialized to the structure of the specific problem under consideration. Since optimization is a central human activity, an appreciation of the NFLT and its consequences is essential. In this paper, we present a framework for conceptualizing optimization that leads to a simple but rigorous explanation of the NFLT and its implications.     

A Functional Non-Central Limit Theorem for Jump-Diffusions with Periodic Coefficients Driven by Stable Lévy-Noise

We prove a functional non-central limit theorem for jump-diffusions with periodic coefficients driven by stable Lévy-processes with stability index α>1. The limit process turns out to be an α-stable Lévy process with an averaged jump-measure. Unlike in the situation where the diffusion is driven by Brownian motion, there is no drift related enhancement of diffusivity.

Quantum Pseudo-Telepathy

Quantum information processing is at the crossroads of physics, mathematics and computer science. It is concerned with what we can and cannot do with quantum information that goes beyond the abilities of classical information processing devices. Communication complexity is an area of classical computer science that aims at quantifying the amount of communication necessary to solve distributed computational problems. Quantum communication complexity uses quantum mechanics to reduce the amount of communication that would be classically required. Pseudo-telepathy is a surprising application of quantum information processing to communication complexity. Thanks to entanglement, perhaps the most nonclassical manifestation of quantum mechanics, two or more quantum players can accomplish a distributed task with no need for communication whatsoever, which would be an impossible feat for classical players. After a detailed overview of the principle and purpose of pseudo-telepathy, we present a survey of recent and not-so-recent work on the subject. In particular, we describe and analyse all the pseudo-telepathy games currently known to the authors.
