Subproduct systems of Hilbert spaces: dimension two (2009)

Tsirelson, Boris

A subproduct system of two-dimensional Hilbert spaces can generate an Arveson system of type I1 only. All possible cases are classified up to isomorphism. This work is triggered by a question of...

Graded algebras and subproduct systems: dimension two (2009)

Tsirelson, Boris

Objects dual to graded algebras are subproduct systems of linear spaces, a purely algebraic counterpart of a notion introduced recently in the context of noncommutative dynamics (Shalit and Solel,...

Uniformly spread measures and vector fields (2008)

Sodin, Mikhail, Tsirelson, Boris

We show that two different ideas of uniform spreading of locally finite measures in the d-dimensional Euclidean space are equivalent. The first idea is formulated in terms of finite distance...

Moderate deviations for random fields and random complex zeroes (2008)

Tsirelson, Boris

Moderate deviations for random complex zeroes are deduced from a new theorem on moderate deviations for random fields.

Divergence of a stationary random vector field can be always positive (a Weiss' phenomenon) (2007)

Tsirelson, Boris

The divergence of a stationary random vector field at a given point is usually a centered (that is, zero mean) random variable. Strangely enough, it can be equal to 1 almost surely. This fact is...

Some extremal problems related to Bell-type inequalities (2007)

Tsirelson, Boris

The best approximation by bounded product functions is calculated for some very simple two-valued functions of two variables.

Moderate deviations for log-like functions of stationary Gaussian processes (2007)

Tsirelson, Boris

A moderate deviation principle for nonlinear functions of Gaussian processes is established. The nonlinear functions need not be locally bounded. Especially, the logarithm is allowed. (Thus, small...

Automorphisms of the type II_1 Arveson system of Warren's noise (2006)

Tsirelson, Boris

Motions of the plane (shifts and rotations) correspond to automorphisms of the type I Arveson system of white noise. I prove that automorphisms corresponding to rotations cannot be extended to the...

How often is the coordinate of a harmonic oscillator positive? (2006)

Tsirelson, Boris

The coordinate of a harmonic oscillator is measured at a time chosen at random among three equiprobable instants: now, after one third of the period, or after two thirds. The (total) probability that...

Brownian local minima, random dense countable sets and random equivalence classes (2006)

Tsirelson, Boris; Tel Aviv University; Tsirel@post.tau.ac.il

A random dense countable set is characterized (in distribution) by independence and stationarity. Two examples are `Brownian local minima' and `unordered infinite sample'. They are identically...

Random dense countable sets: characterization by independence (2005)

Tsirelson, Boris

A random dense countable set is characterized (in distribution) by independence and stationarity. Two examples are `Brownian local minima' and `unordered infinite sample'. They are identically...

Brownian local minima and other random dense countable sets (2005)

Tsirelson, Boris

We compare two examples of random dense countable sets, `Brownian local minima' and `unordered uniform infinite sample'. They appear to be identically distributed. A framework for such notions is...

Percolation, boundary, noise: an experiment (2005)

Tsirelson, Boris

The scaling limit of the critical percolation, is it a black noise? The answer depends on stability to perturbations concentrated along a line. This text, containing no proofs, reports experimental...

On automorphisms of type II Arveson systems (probabilistic approach) (2004)

Tsirelson, Boris

A counterexample to the conjecture that the automorphisms of an arbitrary Arveson system act transitively on its normalized units.

Nonclassical stochastic flows and continuous products (2004)

Tsirelson, Boris

Contrary to the classical wisdom, processes with independent values (defined properly) are much more diverse than white noise combined with Poisson point processes, and product systems are much more...

Tsirelson, Boris

Contrary to the classical wisdom, processes with independent values (defined properly) are much more diverse than white noises combined with Poisson point processes, and product systems are much more...

Random complex zeroes, III. Decay of the hole probability (2003)

Sodin, Mikhail, Tsirelson, Boris

By a hole we mean a disc that contains no flat chaotic analytic zero points (i.e. zeroes of a random entire function whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables, and...

Random complex zeroes, II. Perturbed lattice (2003)

Sodin, Mikhail, Tsirelson, Boris

We show that the flat chaotic analytic zero points (i.e. zeroes of a random entire function whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian random variables, and the variance of the...

Scaling Limit, Noise, Stability (2003)

Tsirelson, Boris

Linear functions of many independent random variables lead to classical noises (white, Poisson, and their combinations) in the scaling limit. Some singular stochastic flows and some models of...

Non-Isomorphic Product Systems (2002)

Tsirelson, Boris

Uncountably many mutually non-isomorphic product systems (that is, continuous tensor products of Hilbert spaces) of types II-0 and III are constructed by probabilistic means (random sets and...

Random complex zeroes, I. Asymptotic normality (2002)

Sodin, Mikhail, Tsirelson, Boris

We consider three models (elliptic, flat and hyperbolic) of Gaussian random analytic functions distinguished by invariance of their zeroes distribution. Asymptotic normality is proven for smooth...

The quantum algorithm of Kieu does not solve the Hilbert's tenth problem (2001)

Tsirelson, Boris

Recently T. Kieu (arXiv:quant-ph/0110136) claimed a quantum algorithm computing some functions beyond the Church-Turing class. He notes that "it is in fact widely believed that quantum computation...

Filtrations of random processes in the light of classification theory. I. A topological zero-one law (2001)

Tsirelson, Boris

Filtered probability spaces (called "filtrations" for short) are shown to satisfy such a topological zero-one law: for every property of filtrations, either the property holds for almost all...

Spectral densities describing off-white noises (2001)

Tsirelson, Boris

For the white noise, the spectral density is constant, and the past (restriction to (-\infty,0)) is independent from the future (restriction to (0,+\infty)). If the spectral density is not too far...

From slightly coloured noises to unitless product systems (2000)

Tsirelson, Boris

Stationary Gaussian generalized random processes having slowly decreasing spectral densities give rise to product systems in the sense of William Arveson (basically, continuous tensor product systems...

Tsirelson, Boris

The set of zeros of a Brownian motion gives rise to a product system in the sense of William Arveson (that is, a continuous tensor product system of Hilbert spaces). Replacing the Brownian motion...

Tsirelson, Boris

Recent progress in mathematical theory of random processes provides us with non-Fock product systems (continuous tensor products of Hilbert spaces) used here for constructing a toy model for...

Trees, Not Cubes: Hypercontractivity, Cosiness, and Noise Stability (1999)

Schramm, Oded; Microsoft Research; Schramm@microsoft.com, Tsirelson, Boris; Tel Aviv University; Tsirel@math.tau.ac.il

Noise sensitivity of functions on the leaves of a binary tree is studied, and a hypercontractive inequality is obtained. We deduce that the spider walk is not noise stable.

Noise sensitivity on continuous products: an answer to an old question of J. Feldman (1999)

Tsirelson, Boris

A relation between sigma-additivity and linearizability, conjectured by Jacob Feldman in 1971 for continuous products of probability spaces, is established by relating both notions to a recent idea...

Unitary Brownian motions are linearizable (1998)

Tsirelson, Boris

Brownian motions in the infinite-dimensional group of all unitary operators are studied under strong continuity assumption rather than norm continuity. Every such motion can be described in terms of...

Dubins, Lester, Feldman, Jacob, Smorodinsky, Meir, Tsirelson, Boris

Let $(F_t)_{t \geq 0}$ be the filtration of a Brownian motion $(B(t))_{t \geq 0}on $(\Omega,F,P)$. An example is given of a measure $Q \sim P$ (in the sense of absolute continuity) for which...

Decreasing sequences of $\sigma$-fields and a measure change for Brownian motion. II (1996)

Feldman, Jacob, Tsirelson, Boris

Sharpening the main result of the preceding paper, it is shown that if, $B_t,0 \leq t < \infty$ is a standard Brownian motion on $(\Omega,F,P)$, then for any $\varepsilon > 0$ there is a probability...
