Let X_i, i\in N, be i.i.d. B-valued random variables, where B is a real separable Banach space. Let \Phi be a smooth enough mapping from B into R. An asymptotic evaluation of Z_n=E(\exp (n\Phi (\sum_{i=1}^nX_i/n))), up to a factor (1+o(1)),…
Suppose that $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ has positive upper density, \[ \limsup_{|I| \to \infty} \frac{|A \cap I|}{|I|} = \delta > 0,\] and $P(t) \in \mathbb{R}[t]$ is a polynomial with no constant or linear term, or more generally a non-flat…
If the log likelihood is approximately quadratic with constant Hessian, then the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is approximately normally distributed. No other assumptions are required. We do not need independent and identically…
Consider a branching random walk on $\mathbb Z$ in discrete time. Denote by $L_n(k)$ the number of particles at site $k\in\mathbb Z$ at time $n\in\mathbb N_0$. By the profile of the branching random walk (at time $n$) we mean the function…
In this paper, we investigate the precise local large deviation probabilities for random sums of independent real-valued random variables with a common distribution $F$, where $F(x+\Delta)=F((x, x+T])$ is an $\mathcal{O}$-regularly varying…
Many spatial models exhibit locality structures that effectively reduce their intrinsic dimensionality, enabling efficient approximation and sampling of high-dimensional distributions. However, existing approximation techniques primarily…
This paper is the complementary work of [Cho16]. Ramified quadratic extensions $E/F$, where $F$ is a finite unramified field extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$, fall into two cases that we call $\textit{Case 1}$ and $\textit{Case 2}$. In the…
Consider nonzero vectors $a_{1},\dots,a_{n}\in\mathbb{C}^{k}$, independent Rademacher random variables $\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}$, and a set $S\subseteq\mathbb{C}^{k}$. What upper bounds can we prove on the probability that the random sum…
Let $S_n$ be a lattice random walk with mean zero and finite variance, and let $\Lambda^a_n$ be its occupation measure at level $a$. In this note, we prove local limit theorems for $\Pr[S_n=x,\Lambda^a_n=\ell]$ and…
We establish a precise three-term asymptotic expansion, with an optimal estimate of the error term, for the rightmost eigenvalue of an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent identically distributed complex entries as $n$ tends to…
We consider the asymptotics of the one-dimensional cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with an external potential $V$ that does not admit bound states. Assuming that $\jBra{x}^{2+}V(x) \in L^1$ and that $u$ is orthogonal to any…
We give expansions for the distribution, density, and quantiles of an estimate, building on results of Cornish, Fisher, Hill, Davis and the authors. The estimate is assumed to be non-lattice with the standard expansions for its cumulants.…
In this paper, we consider a large class of nonlinear equations derived from first-order type methods for solving composite optimization problems. Traditional approaches to establishing superlinear convergence rates of semismooth…
Let $\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots$ be an iid sequence with negative mean. The $(m,n)$-segment is the subsequence $\xi_{m+1},\ldots,\xi_n$ and its \textit{score} is given by $\max\{\sum_{m+1}^n\xi_i,0\}$. Let $R_n$ be the largest score of any segment…
In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…
Ever since the proof of asymptotic normality of maximum likelihood estimator by Cramer (1946), it has been understood that a basic technique of the Taylor series expansion suffices for asymptotics of $M$-estimators with…
We prove an asymptotic Cram\'er's theorem, that is, if the sequence $(X_{n}+ Y_{n})_{n\geq 1}$ converges in law to the standard normal distribution and for every $n\geq 1$ the random variables $X_{n}$ and $Y_{n}$ are independent, then…
The main aim of the paper is to prove a fountain theorem without assuming the $\tau$-upper semicontinuity condition on the variational functional. Using this improved fountain theorem, we may deal with more general strongly indefinite…

Let $(\xi_i,\mathcal{F}_i)_{i\geq1}$ be a sequence of martingale differences. Set $X_n=\sum_{i=1}^n \xi_i $ and $ \langle X \rangle_n=\sum_{i=1}^n \mathbf{E}(\xi_i^2|\mathcal{F}_{i-1}).$ We prove Cram\'er's moderate deviation expansions for…
