Bharath Krishnan<p>In a magazine article [1] on problems and progress in quantum field theory, Wood writes of Feynman path integrals, “No known mathematical procedure can meaningfully average an infinite number of objects covering an infinite expanse of space in general. The path integral is more of a physics philosophy than an exact mathematical recipe.”</p><p>This article [2] provides a method for averaging an arbitrary collection of objects; however, the average can be any number in the extension of the range of these objects. (Note, an arbitrary collection of these objects is a function.)</p><p>Question: Suppose anything meaningful has applications in quantum field theory. Is there a way to meaningfully choose a unique, finite average of a function whose graph matches the description in Wood's quote?</p><p>For more info, see this post [3].</p><p>[1]: <a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org/mathematicians-prove-2d-version-of-quantum-gravity-really-works-20210617/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">quantamagazine.org/mathematici</span><span class="invisible">ans-prove-2d-version-of-quantum-gravity-really-works-20210617/</span></a></p><p>[2]: <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.09103" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">arxiv.org/pdf/2004.09103</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>[3]: <a href="https://math.stackexchange.com/q/5052005/125918" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">math.stackexchange.com/q/50520</span><span class="invisible">05/125918</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/PathIntegral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PathIntegral</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/quantum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantum</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FeynmanPathIntegral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FeynmanPathIntegral</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mean</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/average" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>average</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/expectedvalue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expectedvalue</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/quantumfieldtheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantumfieldtheory</span></a></p>

Bharath Krishnan<p>I finally know what I want. </p><p>Let \(n\in\mathbb{N}\) and suppose function \(f:A\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}\), where \(A\) and \(f\) are Borel. Let \(\text{dim}_{\text{H}}(\cdot)\) be the Hausdorff dimension, where \(\mathcal{H}^{\text{dim}_{\text{H}}(\cdot)}(\cdot)\) is the Hausdorff measure in its dimension on the Borel \(\sigma\)-algebra.</p><p>§1. Motivation</p><p>Suppose, we define everywhere surjective \(f\):</p><p>Let \((A,\mathrm{T})\) be a standard topology. A function \(f:A\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}\) is everywhere surjective from \(A\) to \(\mathbb{R}\), if \(f[V]=\mathbb{R}\) for every \(V\in\mathrm{T}\).</p><p>If f is everywhere surjective, whose graph has zero Hausdorff measure in its dimension (e.g., [1]), we want a unique, satisfying [2] average of \(f\), taking finite values only. However, the expected value of \(f\):</p><p>\[\mathbb{E}[f]=\frac{1}{{\mathcal{H}}^{\text{dim}_{\text{H}}(A)}(A)}\int_{A}f\, d{\mathcal{H}}^{\text{dim}_{\text{H}}(A)}\]</p><p>is undefined since the integral of \(f\) is undefined: i.e., the graph of \(f\) has Hausdorff dimension \(n+1\) with zero \((n+1)\)-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Thus, w.r.t a reference point \(C\in\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\), choose any sequence of bounded functions converging to \(f\) [2, §2.1] with the same satisfying [2, §4] and finite expected value [2, §2.2].</p><p>[1]: <a href="https://mathoverflow.net/questions/476471/is-there-an-explicit-everywhere-surjective-f-mathbbr-to-mathbbr-whose-gr" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mathoverflow.net/questions/476</span><span class="invisible">471/is-there-an-explicit-everywhere-surjective-f-mathbbr-to-mathbbr-whose-gr</span></a></p><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/389499633_Defining_a_Unique_Satisfying_Expected_Value_From_Chosen_Sequences_of_Bounded_Functions_Converging_to_an_Everywhere_Surjective_Function/stats" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">researchgate.net/publication/3</span><span class="invisible">89499633_Defining_a_Unique_Satisfying_Expected_Value_From_Chosen_Sequences_of_Bounded_Functions_Converging_to_an_Everywhere_Surjective_Function/stats</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HausdorffMeasure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HausdorffMeasure</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HausdorffDimension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HausdorffDimension</span></a> <br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/EverywhereSurjectiveFunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EverywhereSurjectiveFunction</span></a><br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ExpectedValue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExpectedValue</span></a><br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Average" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Average</span></a> <br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a></p>
