2 1 Ju n 20 02 Convergence of the Poincaré constant

چکیده

The Poincaré constant RY of a random variable Y relates the L2(Y )-norm of a function g and its derivative g′. Since RY −Var (Y ) is positive, with equality if and only if Y is normal, it can be seen as a distance from the normal distribution. In this paper we establish the best possible rate of convergence of this distance in the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, we show that RY is finite for discrete mixtures of normals, allowing us to add rates to the proof of the Central Limit Theorem in the sense of relative entropy.

The linear δ expansion is applied to the 3-dimensional O(N) scalar field theory at its critical point in a way that is compatible with the large-N limit. For a range of the arbitrary mass parameter, the linear δ expansion for 〈~ φ 〉 converges, with errors decreasing like a power of the order n in δ. If the principal of minimal sensitivity is used to optimize the convergence rate, the errors see...

We use the Cremmer-Julia E7(7) non-linear symmetry of N = 8 Supergravity to derive its order κ on-shell Hamiltonian in terms of one chiral light-cone superfield. By requiring that E7(7) commute with the super-Poincaré group, we deduce to lowest non-trivial order in κ, the light cone E7(7) transformations of all fields of the theory, including the graviton. We then derive the dynamical supersymm...

Strong gravitational lensing has traditionally been one of the few phenomena said to oppose a large cosmological constant; many analyses of lens statistics have given upper limits on ΩΛ that are marginally inconsistent with the concordance cosmology. Those conclusions were based on models where the predicted number counts of galaxies at moderate redshifts (z ∼ 0.5–1) increased significantly wit...
