Isserlis' theorem

In probability theory, Isserlis' theorem or Wick's probability theorem is a formula that allows one to compute higher-order moments of the multivariate normal distribution in terms of its covariance matrix. It is named after Leon Isserlis. This theorem is also particularly important in particle physics, where it is known as Wick's theorem after the work of . Other applications include the analysis of portfolio returns, quantum field theory and generation of colored noise. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 1.8 --- Plünnecke's theorem

In this video I present a proof of Plünnecke's theorem due to George Petridis, which also uses some arguments of Imre Ruzsa. Plünnecke's theorem is a very useful tool in additive combinatorics, which implies that if A is a set of integers such that |A+A| is at most C|A|, then for any pair

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Cayley theorem proof

In this video I show you how to prove Cayley's theorem, which states that every group is isomorphic to a permutation group. This video is a bit long because I take the time to revisit all the concepts required in the proof. these include isomorphisms, injective, surjective, and bijective

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 9.5 --- Freiman's theorem for subsets of F_p^N.

Freiman's theorem for subsets of F_p^N states that if A is a subset of F_p^N and |A + A| is at most C|A|, then there is a subspace X of F_p^N of size at most C'|A| that contains A, where C' depends only on C. The result is actually due to Imre Ruzsa. Here I give not Ruzsa's original proof,

What is Green's theorem? Chris Tisdell UNSW

This lecture discusses Green's theorem in the plane. Green's theorem not only gives a relationship between double integrals and line integrals, but it also gives a relationship between "curl" and "circulation". In addition, Gauss' divergence theorem in the plane is also discussed, whic
