Theorems motivated by foundations of quantum mechanics and some of their applications

Roberto H. Schonmann

This paper provides theorems aimed at shedding light on issues in the foundations of quantum mechanics. These theorems can be used to propose new interpretations to the theory, or…

Invasion, polymorphic equilibria and fixation of a mutant social allele in group structured populations

Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Robert Boyd

Stable mixtures of cooperators and defectors are often seen in nature. This fact is at odds with predictions based on linear public goods games under weak selection. That model imp…

The Taylor-Frank method cannot be applied to some biologically important, continuous fitness functions

Roberto H. Schonmann, Robert Boyd, Renato Vicente

The Taylor-Frank method for making kin selection models when fitness is a nonlinear function of a continuous phenotype requires this function to be differentiable. This assumption…

Altruism can proliferate through group/kin selection despite high random gene flow

Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Nestor Caticha

The ways in which natural selection can allow the proliferation of cooperative behavior have long been seen as a central problem in evolutionary biology. Most of the literature has…

Two-level Fisher-Wright framework with selection and migration: An approach to studying evolution in group structured populations

Roberto H. Schonmann, Renato Vicente, Nestor Caticha

A framework for the mathematical modeling of evolution in group structured populations is introduced. The population is divided into a fixed large number of groups of fixed size. F…

The survival of large dimensional threshold contact processes

Thomas Mountford, Roberto H. Schonmann

We study the threshold contact process on with infection parameter . We show that the critical point , defined as the threshold for survival s…
