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…

This article shortly provides related proofs of the ergodic theorems of von Neumann, Birkhoff, Wiener, and Rokhlin's lemma for $Z^d$-actions with an invariant measure. It is shown how some deviations of ergodic averages can be structured.…

We study invariant statistical connections on the space $\mathcal{N}_0^n$ of zero-mean multivariate normal distributions (the multivariate centered Gaussian model) equipped with the Fisher metric $g^F$. We introduce moduli spaces of…

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…

For a compact, connected, orientable Riemannian manifold with $b$ boundary components, we obtain geometric lower bounds for the low Steklov eigenvalues, namely $\sigma_k$, $1\le k\le b-1$. Our results complement earlier results, which apply…

We investigate transient clustering dynamics in nonlocal aggregation-diffusion systems from an energetic perspective. Starting from a stochastic interacting particle system, we study the associated macroscopic McKean-Vlasov equation on the…

Recent literature shows that hypocoercivity properties of linear evolution equations (in particular their exponential decay and the sharp short time decay of their propagator norm) carry over to their discretization via the midpoint rule.…

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 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.

In this work, we study several inequalities related to a Dirichlet problem on Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below. First, we establish inequalities involving the torsional rigidity and discuss rigidity results…

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…

Motivated by Berg's notion of quasi-disjointness for ergodic systems, we introduce and investigate the concept of quasi-disjointness for minimal systems. Several equivalent characterizations are provided. We prove that quasi-disjointness is…

We study the action of the Hecke triangle groups $G_q$ on $\lambda_q \mathbb{Q}(\lambda_q^2) \cup \{\infty\}$ with $\lambda_q = 2 \cos (\pi / q)$. When $q = 18$, we show the existence of infinitely many distinct orbits of fixed points of…

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)}…

We review known linear and matrix generalizations of Hall's classic ``marriage theorem'' and K\H{o}nig's theorem on partial matchings in bipartite graphs, and relate them to linear and matrix generalizations of Dilworth's theorem about…

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…

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…

Let $g$ be a smooth metric on $\mathbb R^3$ with non-negative scalar curvature. We show that if $g$ satisfies $\vert g(x)-g_{\text{euc}}(x)\vert = O(\vert x\vert^{-1-\tau})$ for some $\tau > 0$ then $g$ must be flat.

The Euclidean paradigm that spheres optimize mean curvature variational problems breaks down in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group: neither the Pansu sphere nor the Kor\'anyi sphere is optimal for the variational problems associated with…
