A simple explicit construction is provided of a partition-valued fragmentation process whose distribution on partitions of $[n]=\{1,...,n\}$ at time $\theta \ge 0$ is governed by the Ewens sampling formula with parameter $\theta$. These…
Fix a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of volume at most $c n$ that satisfies $S \cap (-S) = \emptyset$. We consider two point processes in $S$: the first is the Poisson point process of intensity one, and the second is the restriction of a…
In the paper we pursue the analysis from the section 5 of the Talagrand's paper "Sample boundedness of stochastic processes under increment conditions." Ann. Probab. 18, No. 1, 1-49. In particular we give the proof of some Sobolev…
Given a homogeneous Poisson process on ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ with intensity $\lambda$, we prove that it is possible to partition the points into two sets, as a deterministic function of the process, and in an isometry-equivariant way, so that…
In balanced allocations, the goal is to place $m$ balls into $n$ bins, so as to minimize the gap (difference of max to average load). The One-Choice process places each ball to a bin sampled independently and uniformly at random. The…
The classical Poisson theorem says that if $\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ are i.i.d. 0--1 Bernoulli random variables taking on 1 with probability $p_n\equiv \la/n$ then the sum $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n\xi_i$ is asymptotically in $n$ Poisson distributed with…
We show that the sequence of integers which have nearly the typical number of distinct prime factors forms a Poisson process. More precisely, for $\de$ arbitrarily small and positive, the nearest neighbor spacings between integers $n$ with…
Max-stable processes have proved to be useful for the statistical modelling of spatial extremes. Several representations of max-stable random fields have been proposed in the literature. One such representation is based on a limit of…
We consider a finite sequence of random points in a finite domain of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The points are sequentially allocated in the domain according to a model of cooperative sequential adsorption. The main peculiarity…
We consider a general method for the approximation of the distribution of a process conditioned to not hit a given set. Existing methods are based on particle system that are failable, in the sense that, in many situations , they are not…
In the paper we consider higher-order partial differential equations from the class of linear dispersive equations. We investigate solutions to these equations subject to random initial conditions given by harmonizable…
We shift the perspective on the interval fragmentation problem from division points to division spacings. This leads to a proof that is both simpler and stronger, establishing limiting distributions for partition points and spacings and,…
We prove that the primes below $x$ are, on average, equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli of size up to $x^{1/2+1/40-\epsilon}$. The exponent of distribution $\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{40}$ improves on a result of…
Construct a random set by independently selecting each finite subset of the integers with some probability depending on the set up to translations and taking the union of the selected sets. We show that when the only sets selected with…
The probabilities of causation are commonly used to solve decision-making problems. Tian and Pearl derived sharp bounds for the probability of necessity and sufficiency (PNS), the probability of sufficiency (PS), and the probability of…
Max-stable processes are widely used to model spatial extremes. These processes exhibit asymptotic dependence meaning that the large values of the process can occur simultaneously over space. Recently, inverted max-stable processes have…
According to a general probabilistic principle, the natural divisors of friable integers (i.e.~free of large prime factors) should normally present a Gaussian distribution. We show that this indeed is the case with conditional density…
Consider a symmetrical conflict relationship between the points of a point process. The Mat\'ern type constructions provide a generic way of selecting a subset of this point process which is conflict-free. The simplest one consists in…
We study existence of random elements with partially specified distributions. The technique relies on the existence of a positive extension for linear functionals accompanied by additional conditions that ensure the regularity of the…
We give overcrowding estimates for the Sine_beta process, the bulk point process limit of the Gaussian beta-ensemble. We show that the probability of having at least n points in a fixed interval is given by $e^{-\frac{\beta}{2} n^2…
