    In this paper, we show new representations of one-sided L\'{e}vy stable distributions for irrational L\'{e}vy indices of the type (pq)l2l1\left(\frac{p}{q}\right)^{\frac{l_{2}}{l_{1}}} which are not covered in \cite{pg1} : for rational L\'{e}vy indices. Furthermore, other equivalent representations for a distribution of a rational L\'{e}vy index is described. We also give a simplest proof for the formulae which cover the cases for rational L\'{e}vy indices. Finally we introduce the concepts of L\'{e}vy smashing and L\'{e}vy-smashed gamma stochastic processes.Comment: Welcome for comment

    c-theorem of the entanglement entropy

    Full text link
    We holographically investigate the renormalization group flow in a two-dimensional conformal field theory deformed by a relevant operator. If the relevant operator allows another fixed point, the UV conformal field theory smoothly flows to a new IR conformal field theory. From the holographic point of view, such a renormalization group flow can be realized as a dual geometry interpolating two different AdS boundaries. On this interpolating geometry, we investigate how the c-function of the entanglement entropy behaves along the RG flow analyt- ically and numerically, which reproduces the expected central charges of UV and IR. We also show that the c-function monotonically decreases from UV to IR without any phase transition.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
