This is a short report on the discussions of appearance of tensors in algebraic statistics and rigidity theory, during the semester ``AGATES: Algebraic Geometry with Applications to TEnsors and Secants". We briefly survey some of the…
In this paper, we establish a general inequality for locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ involving the norm of the covariant derivatives of both the difference tensor $K$ and the Tchebychev vector field…
Pick a random matrix $\gamma$ in $\Gamma={\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $\mathcal{O}_K$ the Dedekind ring generated by its eigenvalues, and let $\Delta_K$, $\Delta_\gamma$ and $\Delta = {\rm Tr}(\gamma)^2-4$ be the respective…
A Bernstein-type exponential inequality for (generalized) canonical U-statistics of order 2 is obtained and the Rosenthal and Hoffmann-J{\o}rgensen inequalities for sums of independent random variables are extended to (generalized)…
In this paper we examine the deviations from Gaussianity for two types of random variable converging to a normal distribution, namely sums of random variables generated by a deterministic discrete time map and a linearly damped variable…
We consider the following natural question. Given a matrix $A$ with i.i.d. random entries, what are the moments of the determinant of $A$? In other words, what is $\mathbb{E}[\det(A)^k]$? While there is a general expression for…
A general class of Lorentzian metrics, $M_0 x R^2$, $ds^2 = <.,.> + 2 du dv + H(x,u) du^2$, with $(M_0, <.,.>$ any Riemannian manifold, is introduced in order to generalize classical exact plane fronted waves. Here, we start a systematic…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…
In this paper, we first present simple proofs of Choi's results [4], then we give a short alternative proof for Fiedler and Markham's inequality [6]. We also obtain additional matrix inequalities related to partial determinants.
The Ehrhard-Borell inequality is a far-reaching refinement of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality that captures the sharp convexity and isoperimetric properties of Gaussian measures. Unlike in the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the…
We prove that the following pointwise inequality holds \begin{equation*} -\Delta u \ge \sqrt\frac{2}{(p+1)-c_n} |x|^{\frac{a}{2}} u^{\frac{p+1}{2}} + \frac{2}{n-4} \frac{|\nabla u|^2}{u} \ \ \text{in}\ \ \mathbb{R}^n \end{equation*} where…
We study the geometry and partial differential equations arising from the consideration of Frobenius determinants, also called-group-determinants. This leads us to address some aspects of twistor theory as well as some extensions of Bessel…
In this paper, I will show how to use $\beta$-deformations to deal with dual flatness of $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics. It is a natural continuation of the research on dually flat Randers metrics(see arxiv:1209.1150). $\beta$-deformations is a…
Infinite order linear recurrences are studied via kneading matrices and kneading determinants. The concepts of kneading matrix and kneading determinant of an infinite order linear recurrence, introduced in this work, are defined in a purely…
In this article we present a Bernstein inequality for sums of random variables which are defined on a graphical network whose nodes grow at an exponential rate. The inequality can be used to derive concentration inequalities in…
We prove an identity relating the permanent of a rank $2$ matrix and the determinants of its Hadamard powers. When viewed in the right way, the resulting formula looks strikingly similar to an identity of Carlitz and Levine, suggesting the…
We prove a sharp stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Assuming that the Brunn-Minkowski deficit $\delta=|A+B|^{\frac{1}{2}}/(|A|^\frac12+|B|^\frac12)-1$ is sufficiently small in terms of…
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is formulated for a set of generalized measurements within the framework of majorization theory, resulting in a partial uncertainty order on probability vectors that is stronger than those based on…
In the current paper we present a new proof of the small ball inequality in two dimensions. More importantly, this new argument, based on an approach inspired by lacunary Fourier series, reveals the first formal connection between this…
