We consider escape from a metastable state of a nonlinear oscillator driven close to triple its eigenfrequency. The oscillator can have three stable states of period-3 vibrations and a zero-amplitude state. Because of the symmetry of…

Amorphous solids tend to present an abundance of soft elastic modes, which diminish their transport properties, generate heterogeneities in their elastic response, and affect non-linear processes like thermal activation of plasticity. This…

The problem of sampling according to the probability distribution minimizing a given free energy, using interacting particles unadjusted kinetic Langevin Monte Carlo, is addressed. In this setting, three sources of error arise, related to…

For fixed $m$ and $R\subseteq \{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$, take $A$ to be the set of positive integers congruent modulo $m$ to one of the elements of $R$, and let $p_A(n)$ be the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of elements of $A$. Nathanson…

This paper concerns numerical assessment of Monte Carlo error in particle filters. We show that by keeping track of certain key features of the genealogical structure arising from resampling operations, it is possible to estimate variances…

We consider the multivariate moment generating function of the disk counting statistics of a model Mittag-Leffler ensemble in the presence of a hard wall. Let $n$ be the number of points. We focus on two regimes: (a) the ``hard edge regime"…

We show that integer partitions, the fundamental building blocks in additive number theory, detect prime numbers in an unexpected way. Answering a question of Schneider, we show that the primes are the solutions to special equations in…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…

Questions of noise stability play an important role in hardness of approximation in computer science as well as in the theory of voting. In many applications, the goal is to find an optimizer of noise stability among all possible partitions…

The presence of defects in solids formed by active particles breaks their discrete translational symmetry. As a consequence, many of their properties become space-dependent and different from those characterizing perfectly ordered…

We consider the number of the $6$-regular partitions of $n$, $b_6(n)$, and give infinite families of congruences modulo $3$ (in arithmetic progression) for $b_6(n)$. We also consider the number of the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts…

Let p(n) denote the number of unrestricted partitions of n. For i=0, 2, let p[i](n) denote the number of partitions pi of n such that O(pi) - O(pi') = i mod 4. Here O(pi) denotes the number of odd parts of the partition pi and pi' is the…

A partition of $n$ is called a $t$-core partition if none of its hook number is divisible by $t.$ In 2019, Hirschhorn and Sellers \cite{Hirs2019} obtained a parity result for $3$-core partition function $a_3(n)$. Recently, both authors…

For integer partitions $\lambda :n=a_1+...+a_k$, where $a_1\ge a_2\ge >...\ge a_k\ge 1$, we study the sum $a_1+a_3+...$ of the parts of odd index. We show that the average of this sum, over all partitions $\lambda$ of $n$, is of the form…

Let $\|n\|$ stand for the integer complexity of the number $n$, i.e. for the least number of $1$'s needed to write $n$ using arbitrary many additions, multiplications, and parentheses. The two-sided inequality $3\log_3 n\leq\|n\|\leq…

Let Zn denote the additive group of residue classes modulo n. Let c(l,m,n) denote the number of cyclic subgroups of Zl *Zm *Zn. For any x > 1, we consider the asymptotic behavior of D3c(x):= \sum_{lmn\leq x} c(l,m,n), obtain an asymptotic…
