We improve the rate function of McDiarmid's inequality for Hamming distance. In particular, applying our result to the separately Lipschitz functions of independent random variables, we also refine the convergence rate function of…
For a bivariate probability distribution, local dependence around a single point on the support is often formulated as the second derivative of the logarithm of the probability density function. However, this definition lacks the invariance…
It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…
Small-world networks, known for high local clustering and short path lengths, are a fundamental structure in many real-world systems, including social, biological, and technological networks. We apply the theory of (marked) local…
In this note, we study some concentration properties for Lipschitz maps defined on Hamming graphs, as well as their stability under sums of Banach spaces. As an application, we extend a result of Causey on the coarse Lipschitz structure of…
We pursue the study of a model convex functional with orthotropic structure and nonstandard growth conditions, this time focusing on the sub-quadratic case. We prove that bounded local minimizers are locally Lipschitz. No restriction on the…
We prove that probability laws of certain multidimensional semimartingales which includes time-inhomogenous diffusions, under suitable assumptions, satisfy Quadratic Transportation Cost Inequality under the uniform metric. From this we…
Using Talagrand's concentration inequality on the discrete cube {0,1}^m we show that given a real-valued function Z(x)on {0,1}^m that satisfies certain monotonicity conditions one can control the deviations of Z(x) above its median by a…
In this note we generalize the results of the recent work by Tom Bohman and Jacob Hofstad on the independence number in G(n, p) to the case of the random k-uniform hypergraph. Concentration in two values occurs in the regime…
Building on Talagrand's proof of the Hoffmann-J{\o}rgensen inequality for $L_p$ spaces and its version for the exponential Orlicz spaces we provide a full characterization of Orlicz functions $\Psi$ for which an analogous inequality holds…
When canonical Hamiltonians of local quantum field theories are transformed using a renormalization group procedure for effective particles, the resulting interaction terms are non-local. The range of their non-locality depends on the…
We present a new and simple approach to concentration inequalities for functions around their expectation with respect to non-product measures, i.e., for dependent random variables. Our method is based on coupling ideas and does not use…
We analyse the $\Gamma$-convergence of general non-local convolution type functionals with varying densities depending on the space variable and on the symmetrized gradient. The limit is a local free-discontinuity functional, where the bulk…
Following the concentration of the measure theory formalism, we consider the transformation $\Phi(Z)$ of a random variable $Z$ having a general concentration function $\alpha$. If the transformation $\Phi$ is $\lambda$-Lipschitz with…
For various classes of Lipschitz functions we provide dimension free concentration inequalities for infinitely divisible random vectors with independent components and finite exponential moments.
The goal of this article is two-fold: in a first part, we prove Azuma-Hoeffding type concentration inequalities around the drift for the displacement of non-elementary random walks on hyperbolic spaces. For a proper hyperbolic space $M$, we…
For a map of the unit interval with an indifferent fixed point, we prove an upper bound for the variance of all observables of $n$ variables $K:[0,1]^n\to\R$ which are componentwise Lipschitz. The proof is based on coupling and decay of…
We investigate concentration properties of functions of random vectors with values in the discrete cube, satisfying the stochastic covering property (SCP) or the strong Rayleigh property (SRP). Our result for SCP measures include…
We show that for any metric probability space $(M,d,\mu)$ with a subgaussian constant $\sigma^2(\mu)$ and any set $A \subset M$ we have $\sigma^2(\mu_A) \leq c \log\left(e/\mu(A)\right)\,\sigma^2(\mu)$, where $\mu_A$ is a restriction of…
In this paper we consider eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a planar domain with polygonal boundary with Dirichlet, Neumann, or mixed boundary conditions. The main result is a quantitative estimate on the $L^2$ mass of eigenfunctions near…
