Ergodic Theory, Interpretations of Probability and the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
The traditional use of ergodic theory in the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics is that it provides a link between thermodynamic observables and microcanonical probabilities.

Forty Years of String Theory: Reflecting on the Foundations [PDF]
The history of string theory started around 1970 when Nambu, Nielsen, and Susskind realized that Veneziano’s 1968 dual model, devised to explain the particle spectrum of the strong interactions, actually describes the properties of quantum mechanical ...

Self-organized complexity and Coherent Infomax from the viewpoint of Jaynes’s probability theory [PDF]
This paper discusses concepts of self-organized complexity and the theory of Coherent Infomax in the light of Jaynes’s probability theory. Coherent Infomax, shows, in principle, how adaptively self-organized complexity can be preserved and improved by ...

Generalized basic probability assignments [PDF]
Dempster-Shafer theory allows to construct belief functions from (precise) basic probability assignments. The present paper extends this idea substantially.

The Topology of Quantum Theory and Social Choice
Based on the axioms of quantum theory, we identify a class of topological singularities that encode a fundamental difference between classic and quantum probability, and explain quantum theory’s puzzles and phenomena in simple mathematical terms so they ...

A probabilistic approach to estimation of the ultimate load of end-bearing piles on settlement criterion [PDF]
Pile foundation is one of the most common types of foundations in the presence of soft soils. The safety of the entire structure depends on the pile foundation safety.

Quantum information theory and the foundations of quantum mechanics [PDF]
This thesis is a contribution to the debate on the implications of quantum information theory for the foundational problems of quantum mechanics. In Part I an attempt is made to shed some light on the nature of information and quantum information theory.
