In this paper we consider functions of the type $$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n g(b_nx+\theta_n),$$ where $(a_n)$ are independent random variables uniformly distributed on $(-a^n, a^n)$ for some $0<a<1$, $b_{n+1}/b_n \geq b >1$, $a^2b> 1$…

In this paper we study the cover time of the simple random walk on the giant component of supercritical $d$-dimensional random geometric graphs on $\mathrm{Poi}(n)$ vertices. We show that the cover time undergoes a jump at the connectivity…

We consider a random walk on a closed manifold $M$ driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on the space of $C^2$ diffeomorphisms. Provided $\mu$ has compact support, satisfies certain gap and pinching conditions, and is weak-$*$ close to a…

We consider a random walk on the mapping class group of a surface of finite type. We assume that the random walk is determined by a probability measure whose support is finite and generates a non-elementary subgroup $H$. We further assume…

We consider classes $\mathscr{G}^s ([0,1])$ of subsets of $[0,1]$, originally introduced by Falconer, that are closed under countable intersections, and such that every set in the class has Hausdorff dimension at least $s$. We provide a…

We say that $E$ is a microset of the compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ if there exist sequences $\lambda_n\geq 1$ and $u_n\in \mathbb{R}^d$ such that $(\lambda_n K + u_n ) \cap [0,1]^d$ converges to $E$ in the Hausdorff metric, and…

In this article, we estimate the Hausdorff dimension of dynamical coverings with respect to mixing ergodic systems. More precisely, if the ergodic measure is exact-dimensionnal, we establish a formula provided that the system is…

In the study of the observability of the wave equation (here on $(0,T)\times \mathbb{T}^d$, where $\mathbb{T}^d$ is the d-dimensional torus), a condition naturally emerges as a sufficient observability condition. This condition, which…

Given $N$ geodesic caps on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and whose total normalized surface area sums to one, what is the maximal surface area their union can cover? In this work, we provide an asymptotically sharp upper bound for an…

Let $\{f(t): t\in T\}$ be a smooth Gaussian random field over a parameter space $T$, where $T$ may be a subset of Euclidean space or, more generally, a Riemannian manifold. For any local maximum of $f(t)$ located at $t_0$ in the interior of…

Let $Y$ be a compact metric space, $G$ be a group acting by transformations on $Y$. For any infinite subset $A\subset Y$, we study the density of $gA$ for $g\in G$ and quantitative density of the set $\displaystyle{\bigcup_{g\in G_n}gA}$ by…

Let $G = O^{p'}(\bar{G}^F)$ be a finite simple group of Lie type defined over a field of characteristic $p$, where $F$ is a Steinberg endomorphism of the ambient simple algebraic group $\bar{G}$. Let $\bar{T}$ be an $F$-stable maximal torus…

Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be independent centered random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This paper shows that, even when $d$ may grow with $n$, the probability $P(n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\in A)$ can be approximated by its Gaussian analog uniformly in…

Given an infinite topological group G and a cardinal k>0, we say that G is almost k-free if the set of k-tuples in G^k which freely generate free subgroups of G is dense in G^k. In this note we examine groups having this property and…

We calculate the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of uniformly random self-similar fractals. These random fractals are generated from a finite family of similarities, where the linear parts of the mappings are independent uniformly…

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…

We show that set of points nondense under the $\times n$-map on the circle and dense for the geodesic flow under the induced map on the circle corresponding to the expanding horospherical subgroup has full Haudorff dimension. We also show…

A $k$-uniform, $d$-regular instance of Exact Cover is a family of $m$ sets $F_{n,d,k} = \{ S_j \subseteq \{1,...,n\} \}$, where each subset has size $k$ and each $1 \le i \le n$ is contained in $d$ of the $S_j$. It is satisfiable if there…

Given a closed semi-algebraic set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and a continuous semi-algebraic mapping $G \colon X \to \mathbb{R}^m,$ it will be shown that there exists an open dense semi-algebraic subset $\mathscr{U}$ of $L(\mathbb{R}^n,…

In a seminal paper, Erdos and Renyi identified the threshold for connectivity of the random graph G(n,p). In particular, they showed that if p >> log(n)/n then G(n,p) is almost always connected, and if p << log(n)/n then G(n,p) is almost…
