In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…

We state some inequalities for m-divisible and infinite divisible characteristic functions. Basing on them we propose a statistical test for a distribution to be infinitely divisible. Keywords: infinite divisible distributions; statistical…

For a probability P in $R^d$ its center outward distribution function $F_{\pm}$, introduced in Chernozhukov et al. (2017) and Hallin et al. (2021), is a new and successful concept of multivariate distribution function based on mass…

We present a novel approach to estimating discrete distributions with (potentially) infinite support in the total variation metric. In a departure from the established paradigm, we make no structural assumptions whatsoever on the sampling…

In the following work, we first propose two (partial summation) formulas involving the floor and ceiling functions. We use principle of mathematical induction to prove the propositions. Another formula relating to the difference of floor…

The present paper originated from our previous study of the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. This problem leads to a family {P_z} of probability measures, the z-measures, which depend on the complex parameter z.…

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation $-\Delta u + V(x) u = \Gamma(x) |u|^{p-1}u$ in $\R^n$ where the spectrum of $-\Delta+V(x)$ is positive. In the case $n\geq 3$ we use variational methods to prove that for all $p\in…

In this work we obtain a Liouville theorem for positive, bounded solutions of the equation $$ (-\Delta)^s u= h(x_N)f(u) \quad \hbox{in }\mathbb{R}^{N} $$ where $(-\Delta)^s$ stands for the fractional Laplacian with $s\in (0,1)$, and the…

Constructing $r$-th nonresidue over a finite field is a fundamental computational problem. A related problem is to construct an irreducible polynomial of degree $r^e$ (where $r$ is a prime) over a given finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a conjecture about irreducible polynomials in one variable over the integers: under some standard condition, they should assume infinitely many prime values at integers. We consider a relative version: if the…

An integral representation result for strictly positive subharmonic functions of a one-dimensional regular diffusion is established. More precisely, any such function can be written as a linear combination of an increasing and a decreasing…

Consider the following prediction problem. Assume that there is a block box that produces bits according to some unknown computable distribution on the binary tree. We know first $n$ bits $x_1 x_2 \ldots x_n$. We want to know the…

We study a family of random Taylor series $$F(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} \zeta_n a_n z^n$$ with radius of convergence almost surely $1$ and independent identically distributed complex Gaussian coefficients $(\zeta_n)$; these Taylor series are…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients…

Let $S$ be a dense subring of the real numbers. In this paper we prove a polynomial version of Van der Waerden's theorem near zero. In fact, we prove that if $p_1,\ldots,p_m \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ are polynomials such that $p_i(0) = 0$ and…

We derive some estimates for the integral modulus of continuity of probability densities of infinitely divisible distributions. The paper is splitted into two parts. The first part deals with general infinitely divisible distributions. The…

Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be independent and identically distributed random variables in $\mathbb{C}$ chosen from a probability measure $\mu$ and define the random polynomial $$ P_n(z)=(z-X_1)\ldots(z-X_n)\,. $$ We show that for any sequence $k…

A translation of Emmy Noether's paper "Der Endlichkeitsatz der Invarianten endlicher Gruppen" (Mathematische Annalen, vol. 77, 1920, pages 89--92). In Noether's words, the paper gives "an entirely elementary finiteness proof---using only…

The paper describes some probabilistic and combinatorial aspects of the nonlinear Fourier transform associated with the AKNS-ZS problems. In the first of the two main results, we show that a family of polytopes that appear in a power…

We show the equivalence of three properties for an infinitely divisible distribution: the subexponentiality of the density, the subexponentiality of the density of its L\'evy measure and the tail equivalence between the density and its…
