Point Splitting and U(1) Gauge Invariance

Dirk Olivie

A gauge transformation in quantum electrodynamics involves the product of field operators at the same space-time point and hence does not have a well-defined meaning. One way to av…

Mutual information and self-control of a fully-connected low-activity neural network

D. Bolle', D. Dominguez Carreta

A self-control mechanism for the dynamics of a three-state fully-connected neural network is studied through the introduction of a time-dependent threshold. The self-adapting thres…
