Background: Our goal is to quantize a sequence of floating point numbers generated i.i.d. from a standard Gaussian source and minimize the MSE reconstruction error. We can use two bits for each sample....

Introduction In his second-most upvoted post, called "Why quantum mechanics?" (second only to his post on fibre bundles & gauge theory) in the physics SE community, Urs Schreiber, in the setting ...

Let $G$ be a Lie group (and to be safe, let's assume it is semisimple). Consider the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation, and form the GIT (algebro-geometric) quotient $G/\!/G$. Then let $\pi:G\...

Let $G$ be a Lie group and consider the space $C_c^\infty(G)$ of compactly supported complex-valued smooth functions on $G$ and $D'(G) = (C_c^\infty(G))'$ the topological dual linear space of $C_c^\...
