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…

We study Lusin-measurable functions with values in locally convex spaces. In particular, the behavior of pointwise limits of sequences of Lusin-measurable functions and exhibit pathological phenomena arising in the nonmetrizable setting.…

The scope of this text is to study a process that induces another proof of the Spectral Embedding Theorem: that any densely defined symmetric operator can be extended by a multiplication operator through an embedding of the Hilbert space…

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…

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…

We characterize all lattices $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and all compactly supported functions $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ for which the Gabor system $\left \{ e^{2\pi i s x} g(x-t) : (t,s) \in \Lambda \right \}$ forms an orthonormal basis…

We prove that the spaces $\ell_p(C(\alpha))$ and $\ell_p(C[0,1])$ have the uniform primary factorisation property whenever $\alpha$ is an ordinal and $1<p\leq\infty$. For the case $p=1$, we establish a general criterion ensuring that…

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…

In this note, we provide a family of $2\times 2$ tetrablock contractions that have tetrablock isometric dilation, but the corresponding fundamental operators do not commute. This answers a question raised by Bhattacharyya [Indiana Univ.…

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…

This paper studies frames in Hilbert spaces generated by the orbits of (in)-finitely many vectors under a single operator, presenting new results on multiplication operators and operators composed of Jordan blocks, which generalizes…

Martingales, Markov processes and Laws of Large Numbers have been well studied in the Riesz space (vector lattice) setting. There has, however, been no attention given in the Riesz space setting to Laws of Small Numbers or to the so called…

For a conditional expectation operator $T$ on a Dedekind complete Riesz space, we give representations of the $T$-strong duals of $L^1(T)$ and $L^\infty(T)$. The representation for the $T$-strong dual of $L^1(T)$ follows from the known…

We study the existence of area-minimizing homotopies between homotopic curves in the plane. While the classical Plateau problem establishes the existence of least-area surfaces spanning a single Jordan curve, the corresponding existence…

It is well known that every compact oriented 3-manifold admits an ideal triangulation, and that any two such triangulations with at least two ideal tetrahedra are related by a sequence of Pachner $2$-$3$ moves. Motivated by constructions in…

We classify knot traces with trisection genus at most 2. We give infinitely many knots whose traces have trisection genus 3, and infinitely many knots whose traces have trisection genus 4. We also show that there exist infinite families of…

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 develop a framework for discrete p-density and compression-radius profiles of lattice knots. For lattice polygons representing a fixed knot type, we define scale-free density quantities by dividing lattice length by chord-length spread…

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…
