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…

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 show that every stable UCT Kirchberg algebra has a principal \'etale groupoid model, and thus contains a C$^*$-diagonal. Every unital UCT Kirchberg algebra $A$ for which $[1_A]_0$ has infinite order in $K_0(A)$ is also covered by our…

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…

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…

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 consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…

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…

We present a high-order implicit-explicit discontinuous Galerkin (IMEX-DG) solver for the compressible Euler equations to account for rotational effects within a fully compressible atmospheric framework. Time integration follows a…

This paper investigates fractional Riesz-Bessel equations with random initial conditions that exhibit either classical or cyclic long-range dependence. It studies zoom-in asymptotics for the corresponding solutions and establishes…
