A function is boundedly finite-to-one if there is a natural number $k$ such that each point has at most $k$ inverse images. In this paper, we prove in $\mathsf{ZF}$ (i.e., the Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice)…

A positive integer $n$ is called perfect if $ \sigma(n)=2n$, where $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of divisors of $n$. In this paper we study the ratio $\frac{\sigma(n)}{n}$. We define the function Abundancy Index $I:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{Q}$…

Driven by the interest of reasoning about probabilistic programming languages, we set out to study a notion of unicity of normal forms for them. To provide a tractable proof method for it, we define a property of distribution confluence…

We show that the Mallows measure on permutations of $1,\ldots,n$ arises as the law of the unique Gale-Shapley stable matching of the random bipartite graph conditioned to be perfect, where preferences arise from a total ordering of the…

We prove a functional limit theorem in a space of analytic functions for the random Dirichlet series $D(\alpha;z)=\sum_{n\geq 2}(\log n)^{\alpha}(\eta_n+{\rm i} \theta_n)/n^z$, properly scaled and normalized, where…

We consider a critical superprocess $\{X;\mathbf P_\mu\}$ with general spatial motion and spatially dependent stable branching mechanism with lowest stable index $\gamma_0 > 1$. We first show that, under some conditions, $\mathbf…

Let $(X,d,p)$ be a pointed metric space. A pretangent space to $X$ at $p$ is a metric space consisting of some equivalence classes of convergent to $p$ sequences $(x_n), x_n \in X,$ whose degree of convergence is comparable with a given…

Let $T\_n$ denote the set of unrooted labeled trees of size $n$ and let $T\_n$ be a particular (finite, unlabeled) tree. Assuming that every tree of $T\_n$ is equally likely, it is shown that the limiting distribution as $n$ goes to…

We study constrained selection sets of random closed sets defined on a non-atomic probability space. Given a random interval $Y=[y_L,y_U]$ and scalar constraints on the expectation or the median of admissible selections, we characterize the…

A permutation $\pi \in S_n$ is said to {\it avoid} a permutation $\sigma \in S_k$ whenever $\pi$ contains no subsequence with all of the same pairwise comparisons as $\sigma$. For any set $R$ of permutations, we write $S_n(R)$ to denote the…

Consider d uniformly random permutation matrices on n labels. Consider the sum of these matrices along with their transposes. The total can be interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a random regular graph of degree 2d on n vertices. We…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…

The concept of uniform distribution in $[0,1]$ is extended for a certain strictly separated maximal (in the sense of cardinality) family $(\lambda_t)_{t \in [0,1]}$ of invariant extensions of the linear Lebesgue measure $\lambda$ in…

We consider sequences of graphs and define various notions of convergence related to these sequences: ``left convergence'' defined in terms of the densities of homomorphisms from small graphs into the graphs of the sequence, and ``right…

Let $\a$ be a complex random variable with mean zero and bounded variance $\sigma^{2}$. Let $N_{n}$ be a random matrix of order $n$ with entries being i.i.d. copies of $\a$. Let $\lambda_{1}, ..., \lambda_{n}$ be the eigenvalues of…

The free convolution is the binary operation on the set of probability measures on the real line which allows to deduce, from the individual spectral distributions, the spectral distribution of a sum of independent unitarily invariant…

We characterize the convergence in distribution to a standard normal law for a sequence of multiple stochastic integrals of a fixed order with variance converging to 1. Some applications are given, in particular to study the limiting…

For normalized sums $Z_n$ of i.i.d. random variables, we explore necessary and sufficient conditions which guarantee the normal approximation with respect to the R\'enyi divergence of infinite order. In terms of densities $p_n$ of $Z_n$,…

Let $\Sigma$ be a countable alphabet. For $r\geq 1$, an infinite sequence $s$ with characters from $\Sigma$ is called $r$-quasi-regular, if for each $\sigma\in\Sigma$ the ratio of the longest to shortest interval between consecutive…

We investigate dynamical properties of the set of permutations of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with restricted movement, i.e., permutations $\pi $ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ such that $\pi (\mathbf{n})-\mathbf{n}$ lies, for every $\mathbf{n}\in \mathbb{Z}^d$, in…
