Nualart & Pecatti ([Nualart and Peccati, 2005, Thm 1]) established the first fourth-moment theorem for random variables in a fixed Wiener chaos, i.e. they showed that convergence of the sequence of fourth moments to the fourth moment of the…
For the truncated multidimensional moment problem we introduce a notion of a canonical solution. Namely, canonical solutions are those solutions which are generated by commuting self-adjoint extensions inside the associated Hilbert space.…
In this paper we propose methods for inference of the geometric features of a multivariate density. Our approach uses multiscale tests for the monotonicity of the density at arbitrary points in arbitrary directions. In particular, a…
In this paper we discuss the Mather problem for stationary Lagrangians, that is Lagrangians $L:\Rr^n\times \Rr^n\times \Omega\to \Rr$, where $\Omega$ is a compact metric space on which $\Rr^n$ acts through an action which leaves $L$…
The (classical) truncated moment problem, extensively studied by Curto and Fialkow, asks to characterize when a finite sequence of real numbers indexes by words in commuting variables can be represented with moments of a positive Borel…
We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the representability of a function as the classical multidimensional Laplace transform, when the support of the representing measure is contained in some generalized semi-algebraic set.…
When the number of subjects, $n$, is large, paired comparisons are often sparse. Here, we study statistical inference in a class of paired comparison models parameterized by a set of merit parameters, under an Erd\"{o}s--R\'{e}nyi…
We investigate several families of multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with weights for which the moment generating functions are hypergeometric series with slightly varying parameters. The weights are supported on the unit interval,…
The Hamburger moment problem for the $q$-Lommel polynomials which are related to the Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel function is known to be indeterminate for a certain range of parameters. In this paper, the Nevanlinna parametrization for the…
The dominant method for defining multivariate operator means is to express them as fix-points under a contraction with respect to the Thompson metric. Although this method is powerful, it crucially depends on monotonicity. We are developing…
We demonstrate that the multipoles associated with the density matrix are truly observable quantities that can be unambiguously determined from intensity moments. Given their correct transformation properties, these multipoles are the…
The classical formalism of the Moment Problem has been combined with a cumulant approach and applied to the extensive many-body problem. This has yielded many new exact results for many-body systems in the thermodynamic limit - for the…
The notion of moment differentiation is extended to the set of generalized multisums of formal power series via an appropriate integral representation and accurate estimates of the moment derivatives. The main result is applied to…
Some important problems (e.g., in optimal transport and optimal control) have a relaxed (or weak) formulation in a space of appropriate measures whichis much easier to solve. However, an optimal solution $\mu$ of the latter solves the…
Wishart matrices are one of the fundamental matrix models in multivariate statistics. We consider the classical $(m,n,\beta)$-Laguerre ensemble and give a necessary and sufficient condition for finite moments for the inverse of…
We begin a systematic study of positivity and moment problems in an equivariant setting. Given a reductive group $G$ over $\R$ acting on an affine $\R$-variety $V$, we consider the induced dual action on the coordinate ring $\R[V]$ and on…
Based on the recent construction of a self-adjoint momentum operator for a particle confined in a one-dimensional interval, we extend the construction to arbitrarily shaped regions in any number of dimensions. Different components of the…
Work on generalizations of the Cohen-Lenstra and Cohen-Martinet heuristics has drawn attention to probability measures on the space of isomorphism classes of profinite groups. As is common in probability theory, it would be desirable to…

The trigonometric moment problem arises from the study of one-parameter families of centers in polynomial vector fields. It asks for the classification of the trigonometric polynomials $Q$ which are orthogonal to all powers of a…
