We establish a generalization of Bourgain double recurrence theorem and ergodic Bourgain-Sarnak's theorem by proving that for any aperiodic $1$-bounded multiplicative function $\boldsymbol{\nu}$, for any map $T$ acting on a probability…

We study the bilinear Hilbert transform and bilinear maximal functions associated to polynomial curves and obtain uniform $L^r$ estimates for $r>\frac{d-1}{d}$ and this index is sharp up to the end point.

We consider random walks on finite vertex-transitive graphs $\Gamma$ of bounded degree. We find a simple geometric condition which characterises the cover time fluctuations: the suitably normalised cover time converges to a standard Gumbel…

Expectation Propagation is a very popular algorithm for variational inference, but comes with few theoretical guarantees. In this article, we prove that the approximation errors made by EP can be bounded. Our bounds have an asymptotic…

We prove the $L^{2}$ convergence for the linear multiple ergodic averages of commuting transformations $T_{1}, ..., T_{l}$, assuming that each map $T_i$ and each pair $T_iT_j^{-1}$ is ergodic for $i\neq j$. The limiting behavior of such…

We extend the stationary-state work fluctuation theorem to periodically modulated nonlinear systems. Such systems often have coexisting stable periodic states. We show that work fluctuations sharply increase near a kinetic phase transition…

We study almost sure limiting behavior of extreme and intermediate order statistics arising from strictly stationary sequences. First, we provide sufficient dependence conditions under which these order statistics converges almost surely to…

We prove the extensions of Birkhoff's and Cotlar's ergodic theorems to multi-dimensional polynomial subsets of prime numbers $\mathbb{P}^k$. We deduce them from $\ell^p$-boundedness of $r$-variational seminorms for the corresponding…

We construct a class of nonnegative martingale processes that oscillate indefinitely with high probability. For these processes, we state a uniform rate of the number of oscillations and show that this rate is asymptotically close to the…

In this paper we establish uniform oscillation estimates on $L^p(X)$ with $p\in(1,\infty)$ for the polynomial ergodic averages. This result contributes to a certain problem about uniform oscillation bounds for ergodic averages formulated by…

An example due to Erdos and Fortet shows that, for a lacunary sequence of integers (q_n) and a trigonometric polynomial f, the asymptotic distribution of normalized sums of f(q_k x) can be a mixture of gaussian laws. Here we give a…

Several implications of well-known fluctuation theorems, on the statistical properties of the entropy production, are studied using various approaches. We begin by deriving a tight lower bound on the variance of the entropy production for a…

A systematic approach to finding variational approximation in an otherwise intractable non-conjugate model is to exploit the general principle of convex duality by minorizing the marginal likelihood that renders the problem tractable. While…

This article extends the results of Fang & Zeitouni (2012a) on branching random walks (BRWs) with Gaussian increments in time inhomogeneous environments. We treat the case where the variance of the increments changes a finite number of…

We develop a terminal-defect method for the double Dixie cup problem and use it to prove the finite-variance extremality conjecture of Doumas and Papanicolaou. For every \(m\ge1\) and \(N\ge2\), among all positive coupon probability vectors…

Bourgain in his seminal paper [2] about the analysis of maximal functions associated to convex bodies, has estimated in a sharp way the $L^2$-operator norm of the maximal function associated to a kernel $K\in L^1,$ with differentiable…

We consider the equilibrium surface of the Random Average Process started from an inclined plane, as seen from the height of the origin, obtained in [Ferrari & Fontes, 1998], where its fluctuations were shown to be of order of the square…

Let $(X, T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We show that if each invariant measure of $(X, T)$ gives rise to a measure-theoretic dynamical system that is either: a. rigid along a sequence of "bounded prime volume" or b. admits a…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that, as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$\int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\substack{P(Y)\in \mathbb{R}[Y]\\ deg(P)\leq k}} \Big | \sum_{x \leq n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-P(n)) \Big |\ dx = o ( X H)$$ for…

The trivial proof of the ergodic theorem for a finite set $Y$ and a permutation $T:Y\to Y$ shows that for an arbitrary function $f:Y\to{\mathbb R}$ the sequence of ergodic means $A_n(f,T)$ stabilizes for $n \gg |T|$. We show that if $|Y|$…
