This paper deals with three major types of convergence of probability measures on metric spaces: weak convergence, setwise converges, and convergence in the total variation. First, it describes and compares necessary and sufficient…

We give a generator-free formulation of sofic measure entropy using finite partitions and establish a Kolmogorov-Sinai theorem. We also show how to compute the values for general Bernoulli actions in a concise way using the arguments of…

In the $R$-spread out, $d$-dimensional voter model, each site $x$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ has state (or 'opinion') 0 or 1 and, with rate 1, updates its opinion by copying that of some site $y$ chosen uniformly at random among all sites within…

We consider a percolation model on square lattices with sites weighted by beta-distributed random variables $S\sim \mathrm{Beta}(a,b)$ with a positive real parameters $a>0$ and $b>0$. Using the Monte Carlo method, we estimate the…

We define the quantile set of order $\alpha \in \left[ 1/2,1\right) $ associated to a law $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ to be the collection of its directional quantiles seen from an observer $O\in \mathbb{R}^{d}$. Under minimal assumptions these…

The relation between Pearson's correlation coefficient and Salton's cosine measure is revealed based on the different possible values of the division of the L1-norm and the L2-norm of a vector. These different values yield a sheaf of…

The decreasing Markov chain on \{1,2,3, \ldots\} with transition probabilities $p(j,j-i) \propto 1/i$ arises as a key component of the analysis of the beta-splitting random tree model. We give a direct and almost self-contained…

We study independent long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where the vertices $u$ and $v$ are connected with probability asymptotic to $\frac{\beta}{\|u-v\|^{2d}}$ for $\|u-v\|_\infty\geq 2$ and with probability 1 for $\|u-v\|_\infty=1$,…

The equivalence of the characteristic function approach and the probabilistic approach to monotone and boolean convolutions is proven for non-compactly supported probability measures. A probabilistically motivated definition of the…

Sensitivity conjecture is a longstanding and fundamental open problem in the area of complexity measures of Boolean functions and decision tree complexity. The conjecture postulates that the maximum sensitivity of a Boolean function is…

We study generalizations of Reifenberg's Theorem for measures in $\mathbb R^n$ under assumptions on the Jones' $\beta$-numbers, which appropriately measure how close the support is to being contained in a subspace. Our main results, which…

Let $X$, $B$ and $Y$ be three Dirichlet, Bernoulli and beta independent random variables such that $X\sim \mathcal{D}(a_0,...,a_d),$ such that $\Pr(B=(0,...,0,1,0,...,0))=a_i/a$ with $a=\sum_{i=0}^da_i$ and such that $Y\sim \beta(1,a).$ We…

Let $\beta\in(1,2)$ and let $H_\beta$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution $\mu_\beta$ associated with $\beta$. In the present paper we show that $H_\beta>0.82$ for all $\beta \in (1, 2)$ and improve this bound for certain…

Let $f$ be an holomorphic endomorphism of $\mathbb{P}^k$ and $\mu$ be its measure of maximal entropy. We prove an Almost Sure Invariance Principle for the systems $(\mathbb{P}^k,f,\mu)$. Our class $\cal{U}$ of observables includes the…

We consider Bernoulli distributions and their regularizations, which are measures on the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$. It is well known that their Mellin transform can be used to define $p$-adic $L$-functions. We show that for $p>2$ one…

We prove that a self similar measure is absolutely continuous providing that it satisfies a condition depending on its Garsia entropy, contraction ratio, and the separation between different points in approximations of the self similar…

Let $E$ be the self-similar set generated by the {\it iterated function system} {\[ f_0(x)=\frac{x}{\beta},\quad f_1(x)=\frac{x+1}{\beta}, \quad f_{\beta+1}=\frac{x+\beta+1}{\beta} \]}with $\beta\ge 3$. {Then} $E$ is a self-similar set with…

Let $p$ and $q$ be probability vectors with the same entropy $h$. Denote by $B(p)$ the Bernoulli shift indexed by $\Z$ with marginal distribution $p$. Suppose that $\phi$ is a measure preserving homomorphism from $B(p)$ to $B(q)$. We prove…

Given $n$ symmetric Bernoulli variables, what can be said about their correlation matrix viewed as a vector? We show that the set of those vectors $R(\mathcal{B}_n)$ is a polytope and identify its vertices. Those extreme points correspond…
