It is well known and readily seen that the maximum of $n$ independent and uniformly on $[0,1]$ distributed random variables, suitably standardised, converges in total variation distance, as $n$ increases, to the standard negative…
We present an extension to Kolmogorov's refined similarity hypothesis for universal fully developed turbulence. The extension is applied within Z. She and E. Leveque's multifractal model of inertial range scaling and its generalizations.…
Let F ($\nu$) be the centered Gamma law with parameter $\nu$ > 0 and let us denote by P Y the probability distribution of a random vector Y. We develop a multidimensional variant of the Stein's method for Gamma approximation that allows to…
We adapt the definition of the Vietoris map to the framework of finite topological spaces and we prove some coincidence theorems. From them, we deduce a Lefschetz fixed point theorem for multivalued maps that improves recent results in the…
We show that every sequence $f_1, f_2, \cdots$ of real-valued random variables with $\sup_{n \in \N} \E (f_n^2) < \infty$ contains a subsequence $f_{k_1}, f_{k_2}, \cdots$ converging in \textsc{Ces\`aro} mean to some $\,f_\infty \in…
We prove a tight uniform continuity bound for the conditional Shannon entropy of discrete finitely supported random variables in terms of total variation distance.
Suppose $\widehat\theta_n$ is a strongly consistent estimator for $\theta_0$ in some i.i.d. situation. Let $N_\varepsilon$ and $Q_\varepsilon$ be respectively the last $n$ and the total number of $n$ for which $\widehat\theta_n$ is at least…
We generalize classical large deviations theorems to the setting of complete Riemannian manifolds. We prove the analogue of Mogulskii's theorem for geodesic random walks via a general approach using visocity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi…
We develop a general technique for bounding the tail of the total variation distance between the empirical and the true distributions over countable sets. Our methods sharpen a deviation bound of Devroye (1983) for distributions over finite…
We consider a family $\{T_N:N \geq 1 \}$ of interval maps as generalizations of the Gauss transformation. For the continued fraction expansion arising from $T_N$, we solve its Gauss-Kuzmin-type problem by applying the theory of random…
In this paper we propagate a large deviations approach for proving limit theory for (generally) multivariate time series with heavy tails. We make this notion precise by introducing regularly varying time series. We provide general large…
We show that, for sequences of vectors of multiple Wigner integrals with respect to a free Brownian motion, componentwise convergence to semicircular is equivalent to joint convergence. This result extends to the free probability setting…
Two counterexamples, addressing questions raised in \cite{AD} and \cite{PZ}, are provided. Both counterexamples are related to chaoses. Let $F_n=Y_n+Z_n$. It may be that $F_n\overset{a.s.}\longrightarrow 0$,…
We prove the existence of smooth solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation on $\mathbf{R}^3$ that feature arbitrarily complex quantum vortex reconnections. We can track the evolution of the vortices during the whole process. This permits…
We consider the extreme value statistics of $N$ independent and identically distributed random variables, which is a classic problem in probability theory. When $N\to\infty$, fluctuations around the maximum of the variables are described by…
We consider the infinite volume $\Phi^4_3$ dynamic and show that it is globally well-posed in a suitable weighted Besov space of distributions. At high temperatures / small coupling, we furthermore show that the difference between any two…
Let $\mathcal S^2$ be the Stepanov space and let $ \lambda_n\uparrow\infty$. Let $(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ be satisfying Wiener's condition $A:= \sum_{n\ge 1} \big(\sum_{k\, :\, n\le \lambda_k \le n+1}|a_k|\big)^2 <\infty$. We prove that $\big\|…
The aims of this paper are twofold. First, it discusses the Littlewood conjecture and its variants with respect to uniformly distributed sequences. The second aim is to determine the exact order of the discrepancy of the van der…
The cutoff phenomenon describes the case when an abrupt transition occurs in the convergence of a Markov chain to its equilibrium measure. There are various metrics which can be used to measure the distance to equilibrium, each of which…
We prove multi-dimensional central limit theorems for the spectral moments (of arbitrary degrees) associated with random matrices with real-valued i.i.d. entries, satisfying some appropriate moment conditions. Our techniques rely on a…
