Let K be a random variable following a truncated exponential distribution. Such distributions are described by a single parameter here denoted by $\gamma$. The determination of $\gamma$ by Maximum Likelihood methods leads to a…

We provide numerical indications of the $q$-generalised central limit theorem that has been conjectured (Tsallis 2004) in nonextensive statistical mechanics. We focus on $N$ binary random variables correlated in a {\it scale-invariant} way.…

Given a probability density $P({\bf x}|{\boldsymbol \lambda})$, where $\bf x$ represents continuous degrees of freedom and $\lambda$ a set of parameters, it is possible to construct a general identity relating expectations of observable…

In this paper we study the behavior of dilation operators $ D_\lambda \colon f \mapsto f(\lambda\,\cdot) $ with $ \lambda > 1 $ in the context of Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces $\mathcal{E}^{s}_{u,p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. For that purpose we…

We prove prime exponential sums have no better than square root cancellation on average on short intervals, in the sense that $$\frac{1}{x} \sum_{-y< n\le x} \left|\sum_{\substack{n< m \le n+y\\ 1\le m \le x}} \Lambda(m) \mathrm{e}(\alpha…

The main task of this work is to give an improvement for the upper bounds of the Laplace transform $$\int_0^{+\infty}\Bigl|\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+it\right)\Bigr|^{2\beta}e^{-\delta t}dt \ll_{\beta,\varepsilon}…

This paper is part of a series aiming at proving that the $\limsup$ and $\liminf$ variants of Voiculescu's free entropy coincide. This is based on a Laplace principle (implying a large deviation principle) for hermitian brownian motion on…

This work is devoted to a vast extension of Sanov's theorem, in Laplace principle form, based on alternatives to the classical convex dual pair of relative entropy and cumulant generating functional. The abstract results give rise to a…

We investigate a degenerate elliptic PDE related to the $\infty$-Laplace equation $\Delta_{\infty}u=0$. A stability result is derived. The $\Gamma$-convergence of the corresponding functionals is investigated.

For domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, we prove universal upper and lower bounds on the product of the bottom of the spectrum for the Laplacian to the power $p>0$ and the supremum over all starting points of the $p$-moments of the exit…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$ \int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\alpha} \left | \sum_{x < n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-\alpha n) \right | dx = o ( X H) $$ for all $H \geq X^{\theta}$ with $\theta >…

Exact upper and lower bounds on the ratio $\mathsf{E}w(\mathbf{X}-\mathbf{v})/\mathsf{E}w(\mathbf{X})$ for a centered Gaussian random vector $\mathbf{X}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, as well as bounds on the rate of change of…

The Dirichlet Laplacian between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension in the presence of a magnetic field is considered in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. We show that the…

We discuss and compare upper and lower bounds obtained by two different methods for the positive zero of the ultraspherical polynomial $C_{n}^{(\lambda)}$ that is greater than $1$ when $-3/2 < \lambda < -1/2.$ Our first approach uses mixed…

We consider a 2-dimensional thin domain with order of thickness {\epsilon} which presents oscillations of amplitude also {\epsilon} on both boundaries, top and bottom, but the period of the oscillations are of different order at the top and…

Let $X$ be a random variable with finite second moment. We investigate the inequality: $P\{|X-E[X]|\le \sqrt{{\rm Var}(X)}\}\ge P\{|Z|\le 1\}$, where $Z$ is a standard normal random variable. We prove that this inequality holds for many…

We consider the Bak--Sneppen model near zero dimension where the avalanche exponent $\tau$ is close to 1 and the exponents $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are close to 0. We demonstrate that $\tau-1=\mu-\sigma=\exp\{-\mu^{-1}-\gamma+...\}$ in this…

Hanson-Wright inequality provides a powerful tool for bounding the norm $|\xi|$ of a centered stochastic vector $\xi$ with sub-gaussian behavior. This paper extends the bounds to the case when $\xi$ only has bounded exponential moments of…

Various lower bounds are established for the entropy of sums, products and their combinations. First, we derive a prime-field analogue of a version of the entropy power inequality established by Tao over torsion-free groups. Next, we prove…
