We establish a new and simple criterion that suffices to generate many spectral gaps for periodic word models. This leads to new examples of ergodic Schr\"odinger operators with Cantor spectra having zero Hausdorff dimension that…

This paper is to investigate the spectral properties of sample covariance matrices under a more general population. We consider a class of matrices of the form $\mathbf S_n=\frac1n\mathbf B_n\mathbf X_n\mathbf X_n^*\mathbf B_n^*$, where…

We show that the spectral radius of an $N\times N$ random symmetric matrix with i.i.d. bounded centered but non-symmetrically distributed entries is bounded from below by $ 2 \*\sigma - o(N^{-6/11+\epsilon}), $ where $\sigma^2 $ is the…

The sum-product conjecture of Erd\H os and Szemer\'edi states that, given a finite set $A$ of positive numbers, one can find asymptotic lower bounds for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$ of the order of $|A|^{1+\delta}$ for every $\delta <1$. In…

A. Iosevich and K. Taylor showed that compact subsets of $\mathbb R^d$ with Hausdorff dimension greater than $(d+1)/2$ contain trees with gaps in an open interval. Under the same dimensional threshold, we prove the analogous result where…

It is shown that a random $(0,1)$ matrix whose rows are independent random vectors of exactly $n/2$ zero components is non-singular with probability $1-O(n^{-C})$ for any $C>0$. The proof uses a non-standard inverse-type Littlewood-Offord…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…

This is the first of a pair of papers, whose collective goal is to disprove a conjecture of Kemarsky, Paulin, and Shapira (KPS) on the escape of mass of Laurent series. This paper lays the foundations on which its sibling builds. In…

We show that the spectral radius of an $N\times N$ random symmetric matrix with i.i.d. bounded centered but non-symmetrically distributed entries is bounded from above by $ 2 \*\sigma + o(N^{-6/11+\epsilon}), $ where $\sigma^2 $ is the…

If ${\mathcal C}\simeq 2^{\mathbb N}$ denotes the Cantor set realized as the infinite product of two-point groups, then a folklore result says the Cantor map from ${\mathcal C}$ into $[0,1]$ sends Haar measure to Lebesgue measure on the…

We study pairs of reals that are mutually Martin-L\"{o}f random with respect to a common, not necessarily computable probability measure. We show that a generalized version of van Lambalgen's Theorem holds for non-computable probability…

Pick a formal system. Any formal system. Whatever your favourite formal system is, as long as it's capable of reasoning about elementary arithmetic. The First Spectral Gap Incompleteness Theorem of [CPGW15] proved that there exist…

In this paper, we first present spectral conditions for the existence of $C_{n-1}$ in graphs (2-connected graphs) of order $n$, which are motivated by a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. Then we prove spectral conditions for the existence of…

Let A be an n*n random matrix with mean zero and independent inhomogeneous non-constant subgaussian entries. We get that for any k<c\sqrt{n}, the probability of the matrix has a lower rank than n-k that is sub-exponential. Furthermore, we…

Cantor sets in \(\mathbb{R}\) are common examples of sets for which Hausdorff measures can be positive and finite. However, there exist Cantor sets for which no Hausdorff measure is supported and finite. The purpose of this paper is to try…

Determining the maximal density $m_1(\mathbb{R}^2)$ of planar sets without unit distances is a fundamental problem in combinatorial geometry. This paper investigates lower bounds for this quantity. We introduce a novel approach to…

Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik introduced the following probability model. Let $C_1, C_2,...$ be independent events with probabilities $\P_s(C_n)= 1-e^{-ns}$ under a probability measure $\P_s$ with $0<s<1$. Let $A_k$ be the event that there is…

Original paper: We revisit the probability that any two consecutive events in a Poisson process N on [0,t] are separated by a time interval which is greater than s(<t) (a particular scan statistic probability), and the closely related…

A well-known conjecture in analytic number theory states that for every pair of sets $X,Y\subset\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, each of size at least $\log ^C p$ (for some constant $C$) we have that the number of pairs $(x,y)\in X\times Y$ such…

We study properties of Bernoulli convolutions generated by the second Ostrogradsky series, i.e., probability distributions of random variables \begin{equation} \xi = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k+1}\xi_k}{q_k}, \end{equation} where $q_k$…
