On the compatibility of causality and symmetry (Comments on "Analysis of causality in time-dependent density functional theory")
It is argued that there exists the only one inverse of the linear response
function , i.e. , which depends symmetrically of its
spatial-times variables, see M.K. Harbola, and A. Banerjee, Phys. Rev. A {\bf
60}, 5101 (1999). Some brief comments on this consideration are presented. We
show instead, that it is possible to construct the causal inverse also. At the
same time we confirm the main statement of M.K. Harbola and A. Banerjee that in
fact there is no contradiction between the symmetry and causality.Comment: 4 pages, LaTe
Covariant anomaly and Hawking radiation from the modified black hole in the rainbow gravity theory
Recently, Banerjee and Kulkarni (R. Banerjee, S. Kulkarni, arXiv:0707.2449
[hep-th]) suggested that it is conceptually clean and economical to use only
the covariant anomaly to derive Hawking radiation from a black hole. Based upon
this simplified formalism, we apply the covariant anomaly cancellation method
to investigate Hawking radiation from a modified Schwarzschild black hole in
the theory of rainbow gravity. Hawking temperature of the gravity's rainbow
black hole is derived from the energy-momentum flux by requiring it to cancel
the covariant gravitational anomaly at the horizon. We stress that this
temperature is exactly the same as that calculated by the method of cancelling
the consistent anomaly.Comment: 5 page

Remarks on an Exact Seiberg-Witten map
We obtain the leading derivative corrections to an expression for the
Seiberg-Witten map given by Banerjee and Yang and show how they affect the
noncommutative deformation of the Maxwell action, as well as the matter
coupling in noncommutative emergent gravity.Comment: 8 page
Evasive Properties of Sparse Graphs and Some Linear Equations in Primes
We give an unconditional version of a conditional, on the Extended Riemann
Hypothesis, result of L. Babai, A. Banerjee, R. Kulkarni and V. Naik (2010) on
the evasiveness of sparse graphs.Comment: This version corrects a mistake made in the previous version, which
was pointed out to the author by Laszlo Baba
Two Experiments to Test a Model of Herd Behaviour
We carry out two experiments to test a model of herd behaviour based on the work of Banerjee (1992). He shows that herding occurs as a result of people observing the actions of others and using this information in their own decision rule. However, in our experiments herding does not occur as frequently as Banerjee predicts. Contrary to his results, the subjects' behaviour appears to depend on the probabilities of receiving a signal and of this signal being correct. Furthermore, he finds that the pattern of decision making over a number of rounds of the game is volatile whereas we find that decision making is volatile within rounds.
Nonparametric confidence intervals for monotone functions
We study nonparametric isotonic confidence intervals for monotone functions.
In Banerjee and Wellner (2001) pointwise confidence intervals, based on
likelihood ratio tests for the restricted and unrestricted MLE in the current
status model, are introduced. We extend the method to the treatment of other
models with monotone functions, and demonstrate our method by a new proof of
the results in Banerjee and Wellner (2001) and also by constructing confidence
intervals for monotone densities, for which still theory had to be developed.
For the latter model we prove that the limit distribution of the LR test under
the null hypothesis is the same as in the current status model. We compare the
confidence intervals, so obtained, with confidence intervals using the smoothed
maximum likelihood estimator (SMLE), using bootstrap methods. The
`Lagrange-modified' cusum diagrams, developed here, are an essential tool both
for the computation of the restricted MLEs and for the development of the
theory for the confidence intervals, based on the LR tests.Comment: 31 pages, 13 figure
