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…

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…

We construct canonical extensions of $p$-adic shtukas on integral models of toroidal compactifications of abelian-type Shimura varieties with quasi-parahoric levels at any prime number $p$. More precisely, we define the notion of a log…

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…

The term Gibbons conjecture is widely used in connection with symmetry results for the Allen-Cahn equation. However, its origin is less transparent than its frequent citation suggests. In this note, we revisit its emergence, tracing it to a…

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…

In this article we study the Iwasawa invariants of Bertolini--Darmon theta elements in the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ for weight two modular forms $f\in S_2(\Gamma_0(N))$. We cover both the…

We modify the approach to the arithmetical form of the large sieve by relying on the Parseval identity rather than on an approximate Bessel inequality and as a consequence, improve on the weighted large sieve inequality beyond what was…

We construct a family of Whittaker functions for $SL(m,\mathbb{Z})$ induced directly from Whittaker functions for $SL(n,\mathbb{Z})$, for any $2 \leq m<n$. Given Jacquet's Whittaker function $W_{\alpha,N}^{(n)}$ on the generalized upper…

Let $p$ be a prime. Suppose that integers $r$, $e$, $d$ such that $r \ge 2$, $e \ge 0$, $0 \le d \le p$ are given. Let $f(x)=s_0 x^r + s_1 x^{r-1} + \cdots + s_r$ be a generic polynomial of degree $r$ in characteristic $p$. We put…

A linearized function field $F$ can be viewed as a Galois extension of a rational function field $K(x)$. For a totally ramified place $Q$ of degree one in $F/K(x)$, we give a unified description of the set $G(Q)$ of gaps at $Q$. As a…

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 study the connection between the Mersenne numbers $M(n) = 2^n-1$ and the dynamics of the angle-doubling map. Within this framework, we develop an algorithm to compute divisors of Mersenne numbers without explicitly evaluating $M(n)$.…

We construct a $1$-bounded completely multiplicative function $f$ whose logarithmically-averaged partial sums satisfy $$ \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left|\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{f(n)}{n}\right|}{1+\exp\left(\sum_{p \leq x}…

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…

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…
