R. A. Fisher founded modern statistical inference in 1922 and identified its fundamental problems to be: specification, estimation and distribution. Since then the problem of statistical model specification has received scant attention in…
This textbook is based on lectures given by the authors at MIPT (Moscow), HSE (Moscow), FEFU (Vladivostok), V.I. Vernadsky KFU (Simferopol), ASU (Republic of Adygea), and the University of Grenoble-Alpes (Grenoble, France). First of all,…
This is an overview of the life and works of Pavel Florensky, an important and singular figure of the period rightly described as the \emph{Silver Age of Russian mathematics}, with a substantial overlap with the \emph{Silver Age of Russian…
This talk presents a short review of David Brink's most important achievements and of my own experience working with him.
This is a short overview of the contribution of Leonid Kantorovich into the formation of the modern outlook on the interaction between mathematics and economics.
The paper presents a review of the state-of-the-art of subgradient and accelerated methods of convex optimization, including in the presence of disturbances and access to various information about the objective function (function value,…
These are notes for a mini-course of 3 lectures given at the St. Petersburg School in Probability and Statistical Physics (June 2012). My aim was to explain, on the example of a particular model, how ideas from the representation theory of…
In this paper I shall try to sketch some typical aspects of Erich Lehmann's contributions to statistics through his research, his teaching, his service to the profession and his personality.
A novel geometric interpretation of the solutions of the WDVV equations formerly found by A.P. Veselov is suggested.
Modern machine learning techniques, including deep learning, are rapidly being applied, adapted, and developed for high energy physics. Given the fast pace of this research, we have created a living review with the goal of providing a…
Markov Chains offer ideal conditions for the study and mathematical modelling of a certain kind of situations depending on random variables. The basic concepts of the corresponding theory were introduced by Markov in 1907 on coding literary…
I am going to compare well-known properties of infinite words with those of infinite permutations, a new object studied since middle 2000s. Basically, it was Sergey Avgustinovich who invented this notion, although in an early study by Davis…
This is a very preliminary version of a survey on Durov's PhD thesis. All comments are welcome.
A homage to the life and mathematics of John K. S. McKay. Obituary for the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society.
Patrick Moss (1947--2024) had two distinct lives as a mathematician. The first was as a ring theorist in the late 1970s, in which he worked with Ginn and Lenagan as a student. After a long career as an inspirational mathematics teacher,…
We provide a full classification of all attainable term structure shapes in the two-factor Vasicek model of interest rates. In particular, we show that the shapes normal, inverse, humped, dipped and hump-dip are always attainable. In…
Considering the class of almost periodic functions in the Stepanov sense we extend and generalize the results of the first author [4]. as well as the results of L. Leindler [3] and P. Chandra [1,2].
This text is written in remembrance of Vladimir (Volodia) Sidorenko, honoring his scientific work, his kindness, and the warm and humorous spirit he brought into the community.
