We use an information-theoretic argument due to O'Connell (2000) to prove that every sufficiently symmetric event concerning a countably infinite family of independent and identically distributed random variables is deterministic (i.e., has…

We derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the pointwise concentration function of the maximum statistic of $d$ identically distributed real-valued random variables. Our first main result places no restrictions either on the common marginal…

We study approximation of non-autonomous linear differential equations with variable delay over infinite intervals. We use piecewise constant argument to obtain a corresponding discrete difference equation. The study of numerical…

While useful probability bounds for $n$ pairwise independent Bernoulli random variables adding up to at least an integer $k$ have been proposed in the literature, none of these bounds are tight in general. In this paper, we provide several…

Recently, Brandt, Maus and Uitto [PODC'19] showed that, in a restricted setting, the dependency of the complexity of the distributed Lov\'asz Local Lemma (LLL) on the chosen LLL criterion exhibits a sharp threshold phenomenon: They proved…

We consider supercritical bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ for $d \geq 3$. The origin lies in a finite open cluster with positive probability, and, when it does, the diameter of this cluster has an exponentially decaying tail. For each…

In this paper, we obtain a sharp Garliardo-Nirenberg inequality on integer lattices and characterize its rigidity. Moreover, as a consequence of the sharp Garliardo-Nirenberg inequality, we obtain sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequalities on…

For two-dimensional last-passage time models of weakly increasing paths, interesting scaling limits have been proved for points close the axis (the hard edge). For strictly increasing paths of Bernoulli($p$) marked sites, the relevant…

Various methods of summation for divergent series of real numbers have been generalized to analogous results for sums of iid random variables. The natural extension of results corresponding to Ces\`aro summation amounts to proving almost…

Under mild conditions on a family of independent random variables $(X_n)$ we prove that almost sure convergence of a sequence of tetrahedral polynomial chaoses of uniformly bounded degrees in the variables $(X_n)$ implies the almost sure…

We establish an almost sure scaling limit theorem for super-Brownian motion on $\mathbb{R}^d$ associated with the semi-linear equation $u_t = {1/2}\Delta u +\beta u-\alpha u^2$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants. In this…

We study positive solutions of the superlinear Lane-Emden inequality \(-\Delta u\ge \sigma u^q\), \(q>1\), on infinite locally finite weighted graphs and connected domains of such graphs. We first prove that solvability is equivalent to the…

We give conditions on a knot on which the Morton-Franks-Williams inequality is not sharp. As applications, we show infinitely many examples of knots where the inequality is not sharp and also prove (by giving examples) that the deficit of…

Consider a random sequence of $N$ integers, each chosen uniformly and independently from the set $\{1,\dots,x\}$. Motivated by applications to factorisation algorithms such as Dixon's algorithm, the quadratic sieve, and the number field…

We consider the initial value problem associated to the inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"o\-din\-ger equation, \begin{equation} iu_t + \Delta u +\mu|x|^{-b}|u|^{\alpha}u=0, \quad u_0\in H^s(\mathbb R^N) \text{ or } u_0 \in\dot H ^s(\mathbb…

We prove a sharp Bernstein-type inequality for complex polynomials which are positive and satisfy a polynomial growth condition on the positive real axis. This leads to an improved upper estimate in the recent work of Culiuc and Treil on…

The paper establishes a sharp and rigid isoperimetric-type inequality in Lorentzian signature under the assumption of Ricci curvature bounded below in the timelike directions. The inequality is proved in the high generality of Lorentzian…

We study Hardy inequalities for antisymmetric functions in three different settings: euclidean space, torus and the integer lattice. In particular, we show that under the antisymmetric condition the sharp constant in Hardy inequality…

We establish that the quadratic non-linear Schr\"odinger equation $$ iu_t + u_{xx} = u^2$$ where $u: \R \times \R \to \C$, is locally well-posed in $H^s(\R)$ when $s \geq -1$ and ill-posed when $s < -1$. Previous work of Kenig, Ponce and…

Intermittent maps of Pomeau-Manneville type are well-studied in one-dimension, and also in higher dimensions if the map happens to be Markov. In general, the nonconformality of multidimensional intermittent maps represents a challenge that…
