Axiomatic quantum field theory in curved spacetime
, 2008
"... The usual formulations of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime make crucial use of features—such as Poincare invariance and the existence of a preferred vacuum state—that are very special to Minkowski spacetime. In order to generalize the formulation of quantum field theory to arbitrary globa ..."

globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, it is essential that the theory be formulated in an entirely local and covariant manner, without assuming the presence of a preferred state. We propose a new framework for quantum field theory, in which the existence of an Operator Product Expansion (OPE) is elevated
Intensity process and compensator: A new filtration expansion approach and the Jeulin–Yor theorem. The Annals of Applied Probability
, 2007
"... Let (Xt)t≥0 be a continuous-time, time-homogeneous strong Markov process with possible jumps and let τ be its first hitting time of a Borel subset of the state space. Suppose X is sampled at random times and suppose also that X has not hit the Borel set by time t. What is the intensity process of τ ..."

Generalized best-first search strategies and the optimality of A*
- JOURNAL OF THE ACM
, 1985
"... This paper reports several properties of heuristic best-first search strategies whose scoring functions f depend on all the information available from each candidate path, not merely on the current cost g and the estimated completion cost h. It is shown that several known properties of A * retain t ..."

On the basis of this framework the computational optimality of A*, in the sense of never expanding a node that can
Robust Higher Order Potentials for Enforcing Label Consistency
, 2009
"... This paper proposes a novel framework for labelling problems which is able to combine multiple segmentations in a principled manner. Our method is based on higher order conditional random fields and uses potentials defined on sets of pixels (image segments) generated using unsupervised segmentation ..."

algorithms. These potentials enforce label consistency in image regions and can be seen as a generalization of the commonly used pairwise contrast sensitive smoothness potentials. The higher order potential functions used in our framework take the form of the Robust P n model and are more general than the P
Stochastic Partial Differential Equations driven by . . .
, 2004
"... In this paper we develop a white noise framework for the study of stochastic partial differential equations driven by a d-parameter (pure jump) Lévy white noise. As an example we use this theory to solve the stochastic Poisson equation with respect to Lévy white noise for any dimension d. The soluti ..."

. The solution is a stochastic distribution process given explicitly. We also show that if d≤3, then this solution can be represented as a classical random field in L 2 (µ), where µ is the probability law of the Lévy process. The starting point of our theory is a chaos expansion in terms of generalized Charlier
Valuations and Filtrations
"... The classical theory of Gröbner bases, as developed by Bruno Buchberger, can be expanded to utilize objects more general than term orders. Each term order on the polynomial ring k[x] produces a filtration of k[x] and a valuation ring of the rational function field k(x). The algorithms developed b ..."

by Buchberger can be performed by using directly the induced valuation or filtration in place of the term order. There are many valuations and filtrations that are suitable for this general computational framework that are not derived from term orders, even after a change of variables. Here we study how
D-branes and deformation quantization

Query expansion using random walk models

Even with large amounts of data, we usually only have significant evidence for a fraction of all potential term pairs. It is therefore important to consider whether multiple sources of evid ..."

This is particularly important when trying to predict the probability of relevance of a set of terms given a query, which may involve both lexical and semantic relations between the terms. We describe a Markov chain framework that combines
