Testing Lorentz invariance by use of vacuum and matter filled cavity resonators
Holger Mueller
We consider tests of Lorentz invariance for the photon and fermion sector that use vacuum and matter-filled cavities. Assumptions on the wave-function of the electrons in crystals…
An Urn Model of Diaconis
David Siegmund, Benjamin Yakir
An urn model of Diaconis and some generalizations are discussed. A convergence theorem is proved that implies for Diaconis' model that the empirical distribution of balls in the ur…
Maxima of asymptotically Gaussian random fields and moderate deviation approximations to boundary crossing probabilities of sums of random variables with multidimensional indices
Hock Peng Chan, Tze Leung Lai
Several classical results on boundary crossing probabilities of Brownian motion and random walks are extended to asymptotically Gaussian random fields, which include sums of i.i.d.…
Murphy's Law in algebraic geometry: Badly-behaved deformation spaces
Ravi Vakil
We consider the question: ``How bad can the deformation space of an object be?'' The answer seems to be: ``Unless there is some a priori reason otherwise, the deformation space may…
On the Origin of Preferential Growth of Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Yiming Li, Shu Peng, David Mann +4
A correlation is observed between the diameter (d) distribution of single walled carbon nanotubes and the percentages of metallic and semiconducting tubes in materials synthesized…
Exchangeable pairs and Poisson approximation
Sourav Chatterjee, Persi Diaconis, Elizabeth Meckes
This is a survey paper on Poisson approximation using Stein's method of exchangeable pairs. We illustrate using Poisson-binomial trials and many variations on three classical probl…
