Dimension bound for quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For every state on ,
The upper bound follows from Subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy and the lower bound from the Araki–Lieb inequality.
Continuity bound for quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If and , then
The proof couples the two states through their positive and negative differences, then combines concavity of quantum conditional entropy with the entropy bound for a binary mixture.
Concavity of quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For bipartite density operators,
This is a consequence of Strong subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy.
Quantile coupling for convergence in distribution Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If at every continuity point of , then the generalized inverses satisfy
at every continuity point of . Since a monotone function has only countably many discontinuities, evaluating all quantiles at one uniform random variable gives an almost-sure coupling of the corresponding convergence in distribution.
Inverse transform sampling Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
If has a uniform distribution on and is the quantile function of a cumulative distribution function , then has the desired probability distribution. Indeed, right continuity gives
so . This short argument works for both jumps and smooth cumulative distribution functions. MIT's continuous-probability notes introduce the inverse-transformation construction. [ref].
For the three-value example, send to , to , and to . These intervals have exactly the desired widths , , . For the density example, output : for , . Independent uniform draws give independent random variables after this deterministic transformation. This direction of construction works even when has jumps; applying the probability integral transform in the other direction requires its own continuity hypotheses.

Minimal polynomial of a purely inseparable element Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An element is purely inseparable over exactly when its minimal polynomial has the form
To prove the nontrivial direction, repeatedly factor a zero formal derivative through until the remaining irreducible polynomial has nonzero derivative. Since has only the root , that remaining separable polynomial must be linear.

The punctured plane is a connected Riemann surface homeomorphic to a cylinder.
It is the complex plane with a point removed, a special punctured Riemann surface.
Path avoidance in a surface Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A path in a surface can be perturbed inside coordinate discs to avoid finitely many prescribed points.
With atoms , finitary propositions can enforce that the true pairs form an injective partial function. If the codomain is infinite, they cannot enforce that every has a value: adjoining every remains finitely satisfiable, so compactness produces a model omitting .
