Martin Boundary Theory of some Quantum Random Walks [PDF]
, 2002 In this paper we define a general setting for Martin boundary theory associated to quantum random walks, and prove a general representation theorem. We show that in the dual of a simply connected Lie subgroup of U(n), the extremal Martin boundary is ...

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT “Almost everyone,” Ronald Dworkin wrote in Sovereign Virtue, “assumes that democracy means equal voting power.” What, then, is voting power? The standard view defines it as the probability that a vote changes the outcome assuming that each possible combination of votes is equiprobable.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is a truism of mathematics that differences between isomorphic number systems are irrelevant to arithmetic. This truism is deeply rooted in the modern axiomatic method and underlies most strands of arithmetical structuralism, the view that arithmetic is about some abstract number structure.

Partition Regularity of Nonlinear Polynomials: a Nonstandard Approach
, 2013 In 2011, Neil Hindman proved that for every natural number $n,m$ the polynomial \begin{equation*} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}-\prod\limits_{j=1}^{m} y_{j} \end{equation*} has monochromatic solutions for every finite coloration of $\mathbb{N}$.

Why Are All the Sets All the Sets?
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Necessitists about set theory think that the pure sets exists, and are the way they are, as a matter of necessity. They cannot explain why the sets (de rebus) are all the sets. This constitutes the Ur‐Objection against necessitism; it is the primary motivation cited by potentialists about set theory.

Controlling Complexity in Spatial Modelling [PDF]
The present complexity approach is based on two assumptions: A1: measurability of deviations of outcomes with respect to reference values; A2 : extension of A1 to multi-set analysis.

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.
