We show how methods from Hamiltonian Floer theory can be used to establish lower bounds for the number of different time-periodic measures of time-periodic Hamiltonian systems with diffusion. After proving the existence of closed random…

We show that if A is a subset of {1,...,N} contains no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then |A|=O(N/ log^{1-o(1)} N). The approach is somewhat different from that used in arXiv:1007.5444.

Deep generative models aim to learn the underlying distribution of data and generate new ones. Despite the diversity of generative models and their high-quality generation performance in practice, most of them lack rigorous theoretical…

Let $(X_{n,i})_{1\le i\le n,n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a triangular array of row-wise stationary $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued random variables. We use a "blocks method" to define clusters of extreme values: the rows of $(X_{n,i})$ are divided into $m_n$…

In the topological dynamical system $(X,T)$, a point $x$ simultaneously approximates a point $y$ if there exists a sequence $n_1$, $n_2$, ... of natural numbers for which $T^{n_i} x$, $T^{2n_i}x$, ..., $T^{k n_i} x$ all tend to $y$. In…

We show the pointwise convergence of the averages \[ \mathcal{A}_N f(x) = \frac{1}{\# \mathbf{B}_N} \sum_{n \in \mathbf{B}_N} f(x + n) \] for $f \in \ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$ where $\mathbf{B}_N = \mathbf{B} \cap [1, N]$, and $\mathbf{B}$ is a…

Let $(M,\scott X) \models \ACA$ be such that $P_\scott X$, the collection of all unbounded sets in $\scott X$, admits a definable complete ultrafilter and let $T$ be a theory extending first order arithmetic coded in $\scott X$ such that…

In this paper, we introduce a weakening of the Freiman isomorphisms between subsets of non necessarily abelian groups. Inspired by the breakthrough result of Kravitz, [14], on cyclic groups, as a first application, we prove that any subset…

We consider the problem of detecting a cycle in a directed graph that grows by arc insertions, and the related problems of maintaining a topological order and the strong components of such a graph. For these problems, we give two…

In this paper we develop a method to transfer density results for primitive automatic sequences to logarithmic-density results for general automatic sequences. As an application we show that the logarithmic densities of any automatic…

This paper is concerned with a class of nonmonotone descent methods for minimizing a proper lower semicontinuous KL function $\Phi$, which generates a sequence satisfying a nonmonotone decrease condition and a relative error tolerance.…

For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

We examine the behavior of the number of $k$-term arithmetic progressions in a random subset of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$. We prove that if a set is chosen by including each element of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ independently with constant…

Here is a sample of the results proved in this paper: Let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a continuous function, let $\rho>0$ and let $\omega:[0,\rho[\to [0,+\infty[$ be a continuous increasing function such that $\lim_{\xi\to…

We determine a lower gap property for the growth of an unbounded \(\mathbb{Z}\)-valued \(k\)-regular sequence. In particular, if \(f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{Z}\) is an unbounded \(k\)-regular sequence, we show that there is a constant \(c>0\)…

Let $d,k$ be natural numbers and let $\mathcal{L}_1, \dots, \mathcal{L}_k \in \mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{Q})$ be linear transformations such that there are no non-trivial subspaces $U, V \subseteq \mathbb{Q}^d$ of the same dimension satisfying…

In this paper, we consider the problem of noiseless non-adaptive probabilistic group testing, in which the goal is high-probability recovery of the defective set. We show that in the case of $n$ items among which $k$ are defective, the…

Answering a question of Gowers, Tao proved that any $A\times B\times C\subset SL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)^3$ contains $|A||B||C|/|SL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)|+O_d(|SL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)|^2/q^{\min(d-1,2)/8})$ three-term progressions $(x,xy,xy^2)$. Using a…

Minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies are studied. These relative entropies, which we term relative $\alpha$-entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}$), arise as redundancies under…

An "entropy increasing to the maximum" result analogous to the entropic central limit theorem (Barron 1986; Artstein et al. 2004) is obtained in the discrete setting. This involves the thinning operation and a Poisson limit. Monotonic…
