In this paper, we give a short Bayesian proof of Talagrand's celebrated majorizing-measure theorem (MMT). While the upper-bound direction of MMT follows relatively directly from standard arguments, the lower-bound direction is widely…

We study Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$ in dimensions ${d>6}$. We prove that a classical consequence of the van den Berg-Kesten inequality, often referred to as the Simon-Lieb inequality in the context of the Ising model, admits a…

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…

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) formulate the solution of partial differential equations as residual minimization problems over neural network parameterizations. Although highly flexible, optimization of PINNs using modern variants…

Given a matrix $A$, a matrix nearness problem seeks an $X$ that most closely approximates $A$ in the sense of minimizing $\lVert A - X\rVert$ under a variety of constraints on $X$. A generalized matrix nearness problem seeks the same but…

We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group V.

Consider, on the space of marked groups, the map $\mathrm{Res}_{\mathcal{C}}$ which associates to a marked group its greatest residually-$\mathcal{C}$ quotient, for different sets $\mathcal{C}$ of groups. Except for trivial cases, this map…

The renewal contact process is a non-Markovian variant of the classical contact process in which recoveries are governed by independent renewal processes with interarrival distribution $\mu$. We establish new sufficient conditions ensuring…

We consider the numerical solution of partial differential equations with coefficients that are strongly heterogeneous in space. We provide an overview of higher-order localized orthogonal decomposition (LOD) methods for the elliptic…

We derive closed form expressions for the lower expectations that correspond to total variation distance and chi-squared divergence balls around a probability mass function over a finite set.

We investigate integration by parts (IBP) formulae for stochastic Volterra equations and we establish the smoothing effect of the expectation. Due to the inherent path-dependent dynamics of this class of processes, standard…

Importance sampling (IS) consists in biasing samples from a distribution $f$ towards another distribution $g$. Concretely, given samples $X_i$ from $f$, the IS measure is $$\hat{g}_n = \frac{1}{Z_n}\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{g(X_i)}{f(X_i)}…

A novel mixed spectral-Galerkin method based on generalized ball polynomials is proposed for solving the biharmonic equation on a unit ball. By introducing an auxiliary variable to decouple the biharmonic equation into a system of…

Using the Baxter-Kelland-Wu coupling and the convergence of the height function of the six-vertex model to the Gaussian Free Field, we extract critical exponents for the planar critical random-cluster model at $q=4$, and the planar…

We use the machinery of a conditional probability space (R\'enyi, 1955) to obtain an Agreement Theorem (Aumann, 1976) under general conditions. A conditional probability space (CPS) is a family of probability measures defined relative to a…

Developing high-order numerical schemes for two-phase flow in porous media that preserve key physical properties remains a significant challenge in numerical analysis. In this article, we propose a general framework to construct fully…

We consider $N\times N$ matrices $X$ with independent, identically distributed entries, and prove that the sequence of measures $\frac{ | \det (X-z)|^\gamma}{\mathbb{E}[ | \det (X-z)|^\gamma]}$ converge to the Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos…

We show that groups with a mild form of non-positive curvature (a navigable path system) satisfy the weak rank rigidity conjecture: they either have linear divergence or a Morse element. This class includes discrete groups of projective…

The classes of abelian groups that are (uniformly) strongly Hopfian abelian groups, and dually, (uniformly) strongly co-Hopfian abelian groups have been studied by several authors, including Abdelalim (2015) and Abdelalim-Chillali-Essanouni…

The Wolff dynamics is a non-local Markov chain widely used for simulating the Ising model due to its effectiveness in reducing critical slowing down compared to the Glauber dynamics. Despite extensive algorithmic and numerical studies, a…
