Radial continuous rotation invariant valuations on star bodies

We characterize the positive radial continuous and rotation invariant valuations $V$ defined on the star bodies of $\mathbb R^n$ as the applications on star bodies which admit an integral representation with respect to the Lebesgue measure. That is, $$V(K)=\int_{S^{n-1}}\theta(\rho_K)dm,$$ where $\theta$ is a positive continuous function, $\rho_K$ is the radial function associated to $K$ and $m$ is the Lebesgue measure on $S^{n-1}$. As a corollary, we obtain that every such valuation can be uniformly approximated on bounded sets by a linear combination of dual quermassintegrals.Comment: Two minor gaps and several typos corrected thanks to the refere

Characterization of dual mixed volumes via polymeasures

We prove a characterization of the dual mixed volume in terms of functional properties of the polynomial associated to it. To do this, we use tools from the theory of multilinear operators on spaces of continuos functions. Along the way we reprove, with these same techniques, a recently found characterization of the dual mixed volume

Some results concerning polymeasures

We present some results concerning the general theory of polymeasures. Among them, we point out an example of a polymeasure of bounded semivariation and unbounded variation, and two different characterizations of uniform polymeasures

Testing microscopic discretization

What can we say about the spectra of a collection of microscopic variables when only their coarse-grained sums are experimentally accessible? In this paper, using the tools and methodology from the study of quantum nonlocality, we develop a mathematical theory of the macroscopic fluctuations generated by ensembles of independent microscopic discrete systems. We provide algorithms to decide which multivariate gaussian distributions can be approximated by sums of finitely-valued random vectors. We study non-trivial cases where the microscopic variables have an unbounded range, as well as asymptotic scenarios with infinitely many macroscopic variables. From a foundational point of view, our results imply that bipartite gaussian states of light cannot be understood as beams of independent d-dimensional particle pairs. It is also shown that the classical description of certain macroscopic optical experiments, as opposed to the quantum one, requires variables with infinite cardinality spectra.Comment: Proof of strong NP-hardness.
