Inference about the tail of a distribution. Improvement on the Hill estimator
Jean Nuyts
The Hill estimator is often used to infer the power behavior in tails of experimental distribution functions. This estimator is known to produce bad results in certain situations w…
Necessary conditions for Ternary Algebras
David B. Fairlie, Jean Nuyts
Ternary algebras, constructed from ternary commutators, or as we call them, ternutators, defined as the alternating sum of products of three operators, have been shown to satisfy c…
Kaluza-Klein towers for real vector fields in flat space
Fernand Grard, Jean Nuyts
We consider a free real vector field propagating in a five dimensional flat space with its fifth dimension compactified either on a strip or on a circle and perform a Kalaza Klein…
Ternutator Identities
Chandrashekar Devchand, David Fairlie, Jean Nuyts +1
The ternary commutator or ternutator, defined as the alternating sum of the product of three operators, has recently drawn much attention as an interesting structure generalising t…
Kaluza-Klein towers for spinors in warped spaces
Fernand Grard, Jean Nuyts
All the boundary conditions compatible with the reduction of a five dimensional spinor field of bulk mass in a compactified warped space to a four dimensional brane are derived…
Matryoshka of Special Democratic Forms
Chandrashekar Devchand, Jean Nuyts, Gregor Weingart
Special p-forms are forms which have components ϕ_{μ_1...μ_p} equal to +1,-1 or 0 in some orthonormal basis. A p-form ϕ\in Λ^p R^d is called democratic if the set of nonzero compon…
