چکیده

We use strong sub-additivity of entanglement entropy, Lorentz invariance, and the Markov property of the vacuum state of a conformal field theory to give a new proof of the irreversibility of the renormalization group in d = 4 space-time dimensions – the a-theorem. This extends the proofs of the c and F theorems in dimensions d = 2 and d = 3 based on vacuum entanglement entropy, and gives a unified picture of all known irreversibility theorems in relativistic quantum field theory.

A Note on the Descent Property Theorem for the Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm CCOMB Proposed by Andrei

In [1] (Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Algorithm for Unconstrained Optimization J. Optimization. Theory Appl. 141 (2009) 249 - 264), an efficient hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm, the CCOMB algorithm is proposed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. However, the proof of Theorem 2.1 in [1] is incorrect due to an erroneous inequality which used to indicate the descent property for the s...

A common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible maps satisfying common property (E:A:) and implicit relation in intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces

In this paper, employing the common property ($E.A$), we prove a common fixed theorem for weakly compatible mappings via an implicit relation in Intuitionistic fuzzy metric space. Our results generalize the results of S. Kumar [S. Kumar, {it Common fixed point theorems in Intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces using property (E.A)}, J. Indian Math. Soc., 76 (1-4) (2009), 94--103] and C. Alaca et al...

Distributive lattices with strong endomorphism kernel property as direct sums

Unbounded distributive lattices which have strong endomorphism kernel property (SEKP) introduced by Blyth and Silva in [3] were fully characterized in [11] using Priestley duality (see Theorem  2.8}). We shall determine the structure of special elements (which are introduced after  Theorem 2.8 under the name strong elements) and show that these lattices can be considered as a direct product of ...
