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…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…

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…

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…

The author and Kawakami revealed that the Picard little theorem, the Carath\'{e}odory--Montel theorem and the Fujimoto theorem -- phenomena concerning omitted values in value distribution theory, normal family theory and the theory of Gauss…

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 prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the generalized Monge-Amp\`ere equation and the supercritical deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation in cohomology classes lying on the boundary of the solvable region. Moreover,…
