Super, quantum and non-commutative species [PDF]

African Diaspora Journal of Mathematics. Volume 8, Number 1, pp. 90-130 (2009), 2005
We introduce an approach to the categorification of rings, via the notion of distributive categories with negative objects, and use it to lay down categorical foundations for the study of super, quantum and non-commutative combinatorics. Via the usual duality between algebra and geometry, these constructions provide categorifications for various types ...

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2005
The glories of ancient Sparta were inscribed in blood, not in poetry or art. The ruins that still exist are scanty, uninspiring, overgrown and little visited.

Berry-Esseen's central limit theorem for non-causal linear processes in Hilbert space [PDF]

African Diaspora Journal of Mathematics, 10, 2, p. 81-86, 2010, 2010
Let $H$ be a real separable Hilbert space and $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ a sequence of bounded linear operators from $H$ to $H$. We consider the linear process $X$ defined for any $k$ in $\mathbb{Z}$ by $X_k=\sum_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}a_j(\varepsilon_{k-j})$ where $(\varepsilon_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ is a sequence of i.i.d.

As Indian activists traversed international political spaces in the early twentieth century, they frequently ...
