Using the technique developed in approximation theory, we construct examples of exponential families of infinitely divisible laws which can be viewed as deformations of the normal, gamma, and Poisson exponential families. Replacing the…

This paper highlights an unexpected connection between expansions of real numbers to noninteger bases (so-called {\em $\beta$-expansions}) and the infinite derivatives of a class of self-affine functions. Precisely, we extend Okamoto's…

We study three methods that prove the positivity of a natural numerical invariant associated to $1-$parameter families of polarized varieties. All these methods involve different stability conditions. In dimension 2 we prove that there is a…

For any relatively prime integers $r$ and $s$, let $a_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of $(r,s)$-regular partitions of a positive integer of $n$ into distinct parts. Prasad and Prasad (2018) proved many infinite families of congruences modulo 2…

We consider the free additive convolution $\mu_\alpha\boxplus\mu_\beta$ of two probability measures $\mu_\alpha$ and $\mu_\beta$, supported on respectively $n_\alpha$ and $n_\beta$ disjoint bounded intervals on the real line, and derive a…

We consider a continuous family $(f_s)$, $s\in[0,1]$ of complex polynomials in two variables with isolated singularities, that are Newton non-degenerate. We suppose that the Euler characteristic of a generic fiber is constant (or…

We consider the free additive convolution semigroup $\lbrace \mu^{\boxplus t}:\,t\ge 1\rbrace$ and determine the local behavior of the density of $\mu^{\boxplus t}$ at the endpoints and at any singular point of its support. We then study…

Generalizing the notion of a tight almost disjoint family, we introduce the notions of a {\em tight eventually different} family of functions in Baire space and a {\em tight eventually different set of permutations} of $\omega$. Such sets…

Let $m, n$ be positive integers such that $m>1$ divides $n$. In this paper, we introduce a special class of piecewise-affine permutations of the finite set $[1, n]:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with the property that the reduction $\pmod m$ of $m$…

We study properties of the Fuss-Catalan distributions $\mu(p,r)$, $p\geq1$, $0<r\leq p$: free infinite divisibility, free self-decomposability, free regularity and unimodality. We show that the Fuss-Catalan distribution $\mu(p,r)$ is freely…

We introduce various probablistic finiteness conditions for profinite groups related to positive finite generation (PFG). We investigate completed group rings which are PFG as modules, and use this to answer a question of Kionke and the…

We introduce some (p,q)-deformations of the weight multiplicities for the representations of any simple Lie algebra g over the complex numbers. This is done by associating the indeterminate q to the positive roots of a parabolic subsystem…

We examine two questions regarding Fourier frequencies for a class of iterated function systems (IFS). These are iteration limits arising from a fixed finite families of affine and contractive mappings in $\br^d$, and the ``IFS'' refers to…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…

In this article we raise some new questions about positive definite functions on free groups, and explain how these are related to more well-known questions. The article is intended as a survey of known results that also offers some new…

Let $U^N$ be a family of $N\times N$ independent Haar unitary random matrices and their adjoints, $Z^N$ a family of deterministic matrices, and $P$ a self-adjoint noncommutative polynomial, i.e. for any $N$, $P(U^N,Z^N)$ is self-adjoint,…

Let $E\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a set of finite perimeter with $|E|=|B|$, where $B$ denotes the unit ball. When $n=2$, since convexification decreases perimeter (in the class of open connected sets), it is easy to prove the…

Let f_t , where t is close to zero, be an analytic family of plane-to-plane mappings. There are presented effective methods of computing the number of cusps of f_t emanating from the origin and having positive/negative cusp degree.

We consider the infinite sequences $(A\_n)\_{n\in\NN}$ of $2\times2$ matrices with nonnegative entries, where the $A\_n$ are taken in a finite set of matrices. Given a vector $V=\pmatrix{v\_1\cr v\_2}$ with $v\_1,v\_2>0$, we give a…

In this paper, we study compound bi-free Poisson distributions for {\sl two-faced families of random variables}. We prove a Poisson limit theorem for compound bi-free Poisson distributions. Furthermore, a bi-free infinitely divisible…
