Let $\theta\in(1,2)$, and $\mu_{\theta}$ be the Bernoulli convolution parametrized by $\theta$, that is, the measure corresponding to the distribution of the random variable $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n\theta^{-n}$, where the $a_n$ are i.i.d.…
Discovery problems often require deciding whether additional sampling is needed to detect all categories whose prevalence exceeds a prespecified threshold. We study this question under a Bernoulli product (incidence) model, where categories…
Let $S^1$ be the stopping time space and $\mathcal{B}_1(S^1)$ be the Baire-1 elements of the second dual of $S^1$. To each element $x^{**}$ in the space $\mathcal{B}_1(S^1)$ we associate a positive Borel measure $\mu_{x^{**}}$ on the Cantor…
We present and experimentally demonstrate a novel non-classical phenomenon, bi-contextuality, observed in quantum systems prepared by two independent sources. This discovery plays a key role in the developing framework of network…
We propose an approach to construct Bernoulli trials $\{X_i, i\ge 1\}$ combining dependence and independence periods, and call it Bernoulli sequence with random dependence (BSRD). The structure of dependence, on the past $S_i = X_1 + \ldots…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the sums of divisors when the integers are modelled with the Bernoulli random walk; We prealably study the correlation properties of the corresponding system.
Let $X_n=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i\epsilon_{n-i}$, where the $\epsilon_i$ are i.i.d. with mean 0 and at least finite second moment, and the $a_i$ are assumed to satisfy $|a_i|=O(i^{-\beta})$ with $\beta >1/2$. When $1/2<\beta<1$, $X_n$ is…
Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mu$ a probability measure. A set $K \subseteq L^1(\mu,X)$ is said to be a $\delta\mathcal{S}$-set if it is uniformly integrable and for every $\delta>0$ there is a weakly compact set $W \subseteq X$ such that…
Let $\Gamma$ be an $N\times n$ random matrix with independent entries and such that in each row entries are i.i.d. Assume also that the entries are symmetric, have unit variances, and satisfy a small ball probabilistic estimate uniformly.…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces. Our main results are uniform versions of the DeGeorge--Wallach Theorem, of a theorem of Delorme and…
A metric probability space $(\Omega,d)$ obeys the ${\it concentration\; of\; measure\; phenomenon}$ if subsets of measure $1/2$ enlarge to subsets of measure close to 1 as a transition parameter $\epsilon$ approaches a limit. In this paper…
The main goal of this note is to prove the following theorem. If $A_n$ is a sequence of measurable sets in a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)$ that covers $\mu$-a.e. $x \in X$ infinitely many times, then there exists a…
Diffusion is an ubiquitous phenomenon. It is a widespread belief that as long as the area under a current autocorrelation function converges in time, the corresponding spatiotemporal density dynamics should be diffusive. This may be viewed…
A sequence $x_1,\dots,x_n,\dots$ of discrete-valued observations is generated according to some unknown probabilistic law (measure) $\mu$. After observing each outcome, one is required to give conditional probabilities of the next…
In this note we provide a counter-example to a conjecture of K. Pardue [Thesis, Brandeis University, 1994.], which asserts that if a monomial ideal is $p$-Borel-fixed, then its $\naturals$-graded Betti table, after passing to any field does…
In the common time series model $X_{i,n} = \mu (i/n) + \varepsilon_{i,n}$ with non-stationary errors we consider the problem of detecting a significant deviation of the mean function $\mu$ from a benchmark $g (\mu )$ (such as the initial…
We study the Borel complexity of sets of normal numbers in several numeration systems. Taking a dynamical point of view, we offer a unified treatment for continued fraction expansions and base $r$ expansions, and their various…
Suppose that the (normalised) partial sum of a stationary sequence converges to a standard normal random variable. Given sufficiently moments, when do we have a rate of convergence of $n^{-1/2}$ in the uniform metric, in other words, when…
In this article, we prove that from any sequence of balls whose associated limsup set has full $\mu$-measure, one can extract a well-distributed subsequence of balls. From this, we deduce the optimality of various lower bounds for the…
We analyse the asymptotic behaviour of the probability of observing the expected number of successes at each stage of a sequence of nested Bernoulli trials. Our motivation is the attempt to give a genuinely frequentist interpretation to the…
