An Essay on the Double Nature of the Probability
Classical statistics and Bayesian statistics refer to the frequentist and
subjective theories of probability respectively. Von Mises and De Finetti, who
authored those conceptualizations, provide interpretations of the probability
that appear incompatible. This discrepancy raises ample debates and the
foundations of the probability calculus emerge as a tricky, open issue so far.
Instead of developing philosophical discussion, this research resorts to
analytical and mathematical methods. We present two theorems that sustain the
validity of both the frequentist and the subjective views on the probability.
Secondly we show how the double facets of the probability turn out to be
consistent within the present logical frame
Probabilistic Events and Physical Reality: A Complete Algebra of Probability
This contribution derives from a rather extensive study on the foundations of
probability. We start by discussing critically the two main models of the
random event in Probability Theroy and cast light over a number of
incongruities. We conclude that the argument of probability is the critical
knot of the probability foundations and put forward the structure of levels for
the partially determinate event. The structural model enables us to define the
prabability and to attune its subjective and objective interpretations
Strong CP problem and mirror world: the Weinberg Wilczek axion revisited
A new possibility for solving the strong CP-problem is suggested,which
assumes that apart of the ordinary world of observable particles described by
standard model, there exits a mirror sector of particles and two sectors share
the same Peccei-Quinn symmetry realized {\it a l\`a} Weinberg-Wilczek model.
The mirror gauge group is completely analogous to that of the standard model
for ordinary particles but having somewhat larger electroweak scale,which in
turn implies the infrared scale of the mirror strong interactions
has to be larger than the ordinary QCD scale . In this way, the axion
mass and interaction constants are actually determined by mirror sector scales
and , while the terms are simultaneously cancelled in
both sectors due to mirror symmetry. The experimental and astrophysical limits
on such an axion is discussed. An interesting parameter window is found where
GeV whereas the axion mass is MeV.Comment: 13 LaTex pages, 3 Postscript figure
