We study i.i.d. sums $\tau_k$ of nonnegative variables with index $0$: this means $\mathbf{P}(\tau_1=n) = \varphi(n) n^{-1}$, with $\varphi(\cdot)$ slowly varying, so that $\mathbf{E}(\tau_1^\varepsilon)=\infty$ for all $\varepsilon>0$. We…
We develop a multidimensional Stein methodology for non-degenerate self-decomposable random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ having finite first moment. Building on previous univariate findings, we solve an integro-partial differential Stein…
Given a zero-free region and an averaged zero-density estimate over all Dirichlet $L$-functions modulo $q\in\mathbb{N}$, we refine the error terms of the prime number theorem in all and almost all short arithmetic progressions. For example,…
We study a random walk $\mathbf{S}_n$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d\geq 1$), in the domain of attraction of an operator-stable distribution with index $\boldsymbol{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d) \in (0,2]^d$: in particular, we allow the…
We consider a random walk $(Y_N)_{N\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ generated by successively applying independent random isometries, drawn from a fixed measure $\mu$, to the point $0$. When the support of $\mu$ is finite and includes an…
We establish the (non-lattice) local limit theorem for products of i.i.d. random variables on an arbitrary simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$, where the variables are allowed to be non-centered. Our result also improves on the known…
We establish an exact asymptotic formula for the square variation of certain partial sum processes. Let $\{X_{i}\}$ be a sequence of independent, identically distributed mean zero random variables with finite variance $\sigma$ and…
It has long been known that random regular graphs are with high probability good expanders. This was first established in the 1980s by Bollob\'as by directly calculating the probability that a set of vertices has small expansion and then…
Two new test statistics are introduced to test the null hypotheses that the sampling distribution has an increasing hazard rate on a specified interval [0,a]. These statistics are empirical L_1-type distances between the isotonic estimates,…
We explore "semibounded" expansions of arbitrary ordered groups; namely, expansions that do not define a field on the whole universe. We show that if $\mathcal R=\langle R, <, +, \dots\rangle$ is a semibounded o-minimal structure and…
Let $S_n^{(2)}$ denote the iterated partial sums. That is, $S_n^{(2)}=S_1+S_2+ ... +S_n$, where $S_i=X_1+X_2+ ... s+X_i$. Assuming $X_1, X_2,....,X_n$ are integrable, zero-mean, i.i.d. random variables, we show that the persistence…
Let $X_{1},..,X_{n}$ denote an i.i.d. sample with light tail distribution and $S_{1}^{n}$ denote the sum of its terms; let $a_{n}$ be a real sequence\ going to infinity with $n.$\ In a previous paper (\cite{BoniaCao}) it is proved that as…
We prove a robust version of a graph embedding theorem of Sauer and Spencer. To state this sparser analogue, we define $G(p)$ to be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p \in…
We consider the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) on $\mathbb{R}^3$ with randomized initial data. In particular, we study an iterative approach based on a partial power series expansion in terms of the random initial data. By…
Limit theorems for non-additive probabilities or non-linear expectations are challenging issues which have raised progressive interest recently. The purpose of this paper is to study the strong law of large numbers and the law of the…
Let $(\xi_i,\mathcal{F}_i)_{i\geq1}$ be a sequence of martingale differences. Set $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n\xi_i $ and $[ S]_n=\sum_{i=1}^n \xi_i^2.$ We prove a Cram\'er type moderate deviation expansion for $\mathbf{P}(S_n/\sqrt{[ S]_n} \geq x)$…
We obtain a strong renewal theorem with infinite mean beyond regular variation, when the underlying distribution belongs to the domain of geometric partial attraction a semistable law with index $\alpha\in (1/2,1]$. In the process we obtain…
We extend Stein's lemma for averages that explicitly contain the Gaussian random variable at a power. We present two proofs for this extension of Stein's lemma, with the first being a rigorous proof by mathematical induction. The…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we improve the error term in the asymptotic formula related to the counting lattice problem studied in a first part of this work. The improvement comes from the use of Weyl's bound for exponential sums of…
Let $(S_n)_n$ be the random process on $\mathbb R$ driven by the product of i.i.d. non-negative random matrices and $\tau$ its exit time from $]0, +\infty[$. By using the adapted strategy initiated by D. Denisov and V. Wachtel, we obtain an…
