Asymptotic normality is frequently observed in large combinatorial structures, rigorously established for many quantities such as cycles or inversions in random permutations, the number of prime factors of random integers, and various…

We announce new results concerning the asymptotic behavior of the Betti numbers of higher rank locally symmetric spaces as their volumes tend to infinity. Our main theorem is a uniform version of the L\"uck Approximation Theorem…

We introduce a framework for obtaining tight mixing times for Markov chains based on what we call restricted modified log-Sobolev inequalities. Modified log-Sobolev inequalities (MLSI) quantify the rate of relative entropy contraction for…

In this article, we consider the geodesic flow on a compact rank $1$ Riemannian manifold $M$ without focal points, whose universal cover is denoted by $X$. On the ideal boundary $X(\infty)$ of $X$, we show the existence and uniqueness of…

Using the definition of entropy of a family of increasing distances on a compact metric set given in [10] we introduce a notion of Finsler entropy for smooth distributions and Stefan-Sussmann foliations. This concept generalizes most of…

We show that if one uses the invariant form of the Boltzmann-Shannon continuous entropy, it is possible to obtain the generalized Pareto-Tsallis density function, using an appropriate "prior" measure m_{q}(x) and a "Boltzman constraint"…

We consider the one-parameter family of interval maps arising from generalized continued fraction expansions known as alpha-continued fractions. For such maps, we perform a numerical study of the behaviour of metric entropy as a function of…

We consider the critical points of Steklov eigenfunctions on a compact, smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. For generic metrics on $M$ we establish an identity which relates the sum of the indexes of a…

In this note we generalize and prove a recent conjecture of Varchenko concerning the number of critical points of a (multivalued) meromorphic function $\phi$ on an algebraic manifold. Under certain conditions, this number turns out to…

An "entropy increasing to the maximum" result analogous to the entropic central limit theorem (Barron 1986; Artstein et al. 2004) is obtained in the discrete setting. This involves the thinning operation and a Poisson limit. Monotonic…

In the paper we present a generalization to Hamiltonian flows on symplectic manifolds of the estimate proved by Ballmann and Wojtkovski in \cite{BaWoEnGeo} for the dynamical entropy of the geodesic flow on a compact Riemannian manifold of…

In this paper we study various aspects of porosities for conformal fractals. We first explore porosity in the general context of infinite graph directed Markov systems (GDMS), and we show that, under some natural assumptions, their limit…

The additional information carried by an enlarged filtration and its measurement was studied by several authors. Already Meyer (Sur un theoreme de J. Jacod, 1978) and Yor (Entropie d'une partition, et grossissement initial d'une filtration,…

The statistical properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms have been substantially studied. In this paper, we would like to address the entropy properties of mostly expanding partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We…

We consider a $\pi_{1}$--injective immersion $f:\Sigma\to M$ from a compact surface $\Sigma$ to a hyperbolic 3--manifold $M$. Let $\Gamma$ denote the copy of $\pi_{1}\Sigma$ in $\mathrm{Isom}({\mathbb{H}}^{3})$ induced by the immersion and…

In this paper, we prove that for any given closed contact manifold, there exists an infinite-dimensional space of Riemannian metrics which can be identified with the space of bundle metrics on the induced contact distribution. For each such…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable surface and $F=F_{p,q,r}$ be the space of Morse functions on $M$ having exactly $p$ critical points of local minima, $q\ge1$ saddle critical points, and $r$ critical points of local maxima, moreover all…

We construct first a class of Moran fractals in R^d with countably many generators and non-stationary contraction rates; at each step n, the contractions depend on n-truncated sequences, and are related to asymptotic letter frequencies. In…

This paper provides an extensive study of the behavior of the best achievable rate (and other related fundamental limits) in variable-length lossless compression. In the non-asymptotic regime, the fundamental limits of fixed-to-variable…
