Given a finite abelian group $G$ and a Sylow $p$-subgroup $N_p$, we prove that the $KU_G/p$-local sphere spectrum is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of a $p$-complete $KO_{N_p}$-module spectrum. Then we compute the…
We perform a mathematical and statistical analysis of the Wasserstein least squares problem, a regression method for vector-valued covariates and distribution-valued responses. Our proposal contrasts with other distributional regression…
Let $\mathcal{H}(b)$ be the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to a non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, and let $\phi=b/a$, where $a$ is the Pythagorean mate of $b$. It is known that, if $f$ is a function holomorphic on a…
A central question in high-dimensional statistics is to understand statistical--computational gaps: regimes in which recovering a hidden signal is information-theoretically possible but conjectured to be computationally intractable. The…
We study estimation in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime for a broad class of Gaussian latent-variable models, including Gaussian mixtures and orbit recovery problems. We show that, in this regime, the generalized method-of-moments…
Hjort and Glad (1995) present a method for semiparametric density estimation. Relative to the ordinary kernel density estimator, this technique performs much better when a parametric vehicle distribution fits the data, and otherwise…
We introduce the \emph{Topological Stability Index} (TSI), a variance-based scalar measure for persistence barcodes that quantifies the dispersion of persistence lifetimes. Unlike persistent entropy, which depends only on normalized…
We introduce an Indian-buffet-type model for multi-factorial innovation in which each arriving agent may exhibit both previously observed and new features. The number of new features follows a power-law behavior, while the probability of…
We give a simple example of a polynomial contraction automorphism of $\mathbb C^d$, $ d\ge 3 $, with unbounded degree growth. Combined with Poincar\'e-Dulac theorem it provides an algebraic automorphism of $\mathbb C^d$, $ d\ge 3 $, which…
In this short note we give a negative answer to the following open question: \emph{Let $X$ be a $\sigma$-compact paratopological group. Does there exist a continuous isomorphism of $X$ onto a topological group $G$?} Specifically, we…
We develop a natural Bayesian multiplicity-correcting prior distribution within the probabilistic forward stepwise representation of model space priors for regression problems. The proposed prior, obtained from making an analogy to the Holm…
We derive a scale-free bound on the density of the maximum of a centered Gaussian vector. The basic bound is non-uniform, depends logarithmically on the dimension, and allows any covariance matrix. When the largest marginal variance is…
In this paper, we investigate two subclasses of analytic and univalent functions associated with the exponential mapping $\varphi(z)=e^{\alpha z},\qquad 0<\alpha\le1,$ defined via the subordination conditions $\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\prec…
Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…
Being encouraged by [AKRS] that provides an amazing bridge between Statistics and Invariant Theory, and especially by [FM], where quiver semi-invariant techniques apply to verify the existence of MLE for a recent iPCA model, we provide an…
In this paper, we consider the problem of simultaneous testing of multivariate normal means under arbitrary covariance dependence. Specifically, let $\boldsymbol{X}\sim N_n(\boldsymbol{\theta},\boldsymbol{\Sigma})$, where…
In this note we study the multiplier norm estimates for the multiplication operators between weighted Bergman spaces, whose symbols are the higher-order Schwarzian derivatives of univalent functions. We establish sharp multiplier estimates…
Many Bayesian inference problems involve high-dimensional models where the performance of standard importance sampling (IS) methods often degrades rapidly as the dimensionality increases. Classical analyses of IS typically rely on the…
We introduce the wreath product for a class of operadic categories and use it to construct an explicit isomorphism between the Boardman-Vogt tensor product of two colored operads in Set and an operad induced by the wreath product of…
Let $\mathcal{G}_k$ denote the gauge group of the principal $G_2$--bundle over $S^4$ classified by $k\in \pi_4(BG_2)\cong \mathbb Z$. Motivated by the $p$--local homotopy classification of these gauge groups, due to…
