We prove that the sum of $t$ boolean-valued random variables sampled by a random walk on a regular expander converges in total variation distance to a discrete normal distribution at a rate of $O(\lambda/t^{1/2-o(1)})$, where $\lambda$ is…

Let $\{X_n\}_{n\ge0}$ be a $V$-geometrically ergodic Markov chain. Given some real-valued functional $F$, define $M_n(\alpha):=n^{-1}\sum_{k=1}^nF(\alpha,X_{k-1},X_k)$, $\alpha\in\mathcal{A}\subset \mathbb {R}$. Consider an $M$ estimator…

This paper is devoted to establishing exponential bounds for the probabilities of deviation of a sample sum from its expectation, when the variables involved in the summation are obtained by sampling in a finite population according to a…

We derive new Gaussian approximation for finite martingale difference sequences in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to the Kolmogorov distance. Under appropriate conditions, our bounds exhibit a dependence of order $n^{-1/4}$ on the length of…

Berry-Robnik level spacing distribution is demonstrated clearly in a generic quantized plane billiard for the first time. However, this ultimate semi-classical distribution is found to be valid only for extremely small semi-classical…

In this article we take a probabilistic look at H\"older's inequality, considering the ratio of terms in the classical H\"older inequality for random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove a central limit theorem for this ratio, which then…

Sums of independent, bounded random variables concentrate around their expectation approximately as well a Gaussian of the same variance. Well known results of this form include the Bernstein, Hoeffding, and Chernoff inequalities and many…

We consider the random walk among random conductances on Z^d. We assume that the conductances are independent, identically distributed and uniformly bounded away from 0 and infinity. We obtain a quantitative version of the central limit…

In this paper, we give estimates for the speed of convergence towards a limiting stable law in the recently introduced setting of mod-$\phi$ convergence. Namely, we define a notion of zone of control, closely related to mod-$\phi$…

We propose an estimator for the singular vectors of high-dimensional low-rank matrices corrupted by additive subgaussian noise, where the noise matrix is allowed to have dependence within rows and heteroskedasticity between them. We prove…

Let $S_n$ be a random walk with i.i.d. increments which have zero mean and finite variance. For every $x\ge0$ we define the stopping time $\tau_x:=\inf\{n\ge1:x+S_n\le0\}$ and consider the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(x+S_n\ge y,\tau_x>n)$. We…

In this paper, we consider partial sums of triangular martingale differences weighted by random variables drawn uniformly on the sphere, and globally independent of the martingale differences. Starting from the so-called principle of…
