We obtain large deviations theorems for nonconventional sums with underlying process being a Markov process satisfying the Doeblin condition or a dynamical system such as subshift of finite type or hyperbolic or expanding transformation.
Let $\lambda(n)$ be the Liouville function. We study the distribution of \[ \frac{1}{x^{1/2}}\sum_{x\leq n\leq 2x}\lambda(f(n)) \] over random polynomials $f$ of fixed degree $d$ and coefficients bounded in magnitude by $H$. In particular…
We prove pathwise large deviation principles of slow variables in slow-fast systems in the limit of time-scale separation tending to infinity. In the limit regime we consider, the convergence of the slow variable to its deterministic limit…
We adapt ideas of Phong, Stein and Sturm and ideas of Ikromov and M\"uller from the continuous setting to various discrete settings, obtaining sharp bounds for exponential sums and the number of solutions to polynomial congruences for…
Large deviations for sums of i.i.d.\ random variables with stretched-exponential tails (also called Weibull or semi-exponential tails) have been well understood since the 60's, going back to Nagaev's seminal work. Many extensions in the…
We prove a conjecture of Kumbhakar, Roy, and Srinivasan (2024) on the classification of order one differential equations, and a conjecture of Kumbhakar and Srinivasan (2025) on higher order equations. Both conjectures are shown to be…
A rigorous connection between large deviations theory and Gamma-convergence is established. Applications include representations formulas for rate functions, a contraction principle for measurable maps, a large deviations principle for…
We consider a generalized two-color Polya urn (black and withe balls) first introduced by Hill, Lane, Sudderth where the urn composition evolves as follows: let $\pi:\left[0,1\right]\rightarrow\left[0,1\right]$, and denote by $x_{n}$ the…
In this paper, we confirm several conjectured congruences of Sun concerning the divisibility of binomial sums. For example, with help of a quadratic hypergeometric transformation, we prove that $$…
The method of proof of Balog and Ruzsa and the large sieve of Linnik are used to investigate the behaviour of the $L^{1}$ norm of a wide class of exponential sums over the square-free integers and the primes. Further, a new proof of the…
Using the notion of higher-order Fourier dimension introduced in \cite{M2} (which was a sort of psuedorandomness condition stemming from the Gowers norms of Additive Combinatorics), we prove a maximal theorem and corresponding…
We investigate asymptotic behaviour of probabilities of large deviations for normalized combinatorial sums. We find a zone in which these probabilities are equivalent to the tail of the standard normal law. Our conditions are similar to the…
We prove large and moderate deviation principles for the distribution of an empirical mean conditioned by the value of the sum of discrete i.i.d. random variables. Some applications for combinatoric problems are discussed.
In this paper we produce precise large deviation estimates through the lens of mod-Poisson convergence. We apply a general result to various examples from number theory, Dedekind domains and polynomials over finite fields when an element is…
This article revisits the work by Ofer Zeitouni and Steve Zelditch on large deviations for the empirical measures of random orthogonal polynomials with i.i.d. Gaussian complex coefficients, and extends this result to real Gaussian…
Suppose that some harmonic analysis arguments have been invoked to show that the indicator function of a set of residue classes modulo some integer has a large Fourier coefficient. To get information about the structure of the set of…
We prove the large deviation principle for the supports of Jacobi ensembles following Guionnet's method.
Classical works of Kac, Salem and Zygmund, and Erd\H{o}s and G\'{a}l have shown that lacunary trigonometric sums despite their dependency structure behave in various ways like sums of independent and identically distributed random…
By using the Rodriguez-Villegas-Mortenson supercongruences, we prove four supercongruences on sums involving binomial coefficients, which were originally conjectured by Sun. We also confirm a related conjecture of Guo on integer-valued…
It is shown that the $L^\alpha$-norms polynomials Rudin conjecture fails. Our counterexample is inspired by Bourgain's work on NLS. Precisely, his study of the Strichartz's inequality of the $L^6$-norm of the periodic solutions given by the…
