We derive the complete asymptotic expansion in terms of powers of $N$ for the Riesz $s$-energy of $N$ equally spaced points on the unit circle as $N\to \infty$. For $s\ge -2$, such points form optimal energy $N$-point configurations with…

We consider periodic energy problems in Euclidean space with a special emphasis on long-range potentials that cannot be defined through the usual infinite sum. One of our main results builds on more recent developments of Ewald summation to…

The geometric sum plays a significant role in risk theory and reliability theory \cite{Kala97} and a prototypical example of the geometric sum is R\'enyi's theorem~\cite{Renyi56} saying a sequence of suitably parameterised geometric sums…

The sum of square roots is as follows: Given $x_1,\dots,x_n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $a_1,\dots,a_n \in \mathbb{N}$ decide whether $ E=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \sqrt{a_i} \geq 0$. It is a prominent open problem (Problem 33 of the Open Problems Project),…

The Riesz gas in one-dimension consists of particles interacting via a pair potential, ${\rm sgn}(s) |x - x'|^{-s}$, $s \ne 0$ and $-\log | x - x'|$ for $s=0$. In the infinite density limit, with the particle support the interval $[-1,1]$,…

For compact sets in Euclidean space, Riesz energies whose exponents differ by $1$ are shown to arise as the endpoint cases of a one-parameter family of infinite-strip energies as the strip thickness increases from $0$ to $\infty$, under…

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular…

We study the statistics of the maximum and minimum of a set of $N$ random variables whose dynamical and statistical properties fall within the scope of infinite ergodic theory. These non-stationary yet recurrent systems are described, in…

We consider the probability distributions of values in the complex plane attained by Fourier sums of the form \sum_{j=1}^n a_j exp(-2\pi i j nu) /sqrt{n} when the frequency nu is drawn uniformly at random from an interval of length 1. If…

The exponential random graph model (ERGM) is a central object in the study of clustering properties in social networks as well as canonical ensembles in statistical physics. Despite some breakthrough works in the mathematical understanding…

The Hausdorff dimension of a set can be detected using the Riesz energy. Here, we consider situations where a sequence of points, $\{x_n\}$, ``fills in'' a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ in an appropriate sense and investigate the degree to…

This paper is devoted to establishing exponential bounds for the probabilities of deviation of a sample sum from its expectation, when the variables involved in the summation are obtained by sampling in a finite population according to a…

We show that when $\set{X_j}$ is a sequence of independent (but not necessarily identically distributed) random variables which satisfies a condition similar to the Lindeberg condition, the properly normalized geometric sum…

We develop a framework to derive consistency constraints on gravitational Regge amplitudes based on the finite energy sum rules (FESRs), which directly connect gravitational Regge amplitudes at a finite ultraviolet scale with infrared…

We establish a lower bound on the entropy of weighted sums of (possibly dependent) random variables $(X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n)$ possessing a symmetric joint distribution. Our lower bound is in terms of the joint entropy of $(X_1, X_2, \dots,…

We derive bounds and asymptotics for the maximum Riesz polarization quantity $$M_n^p(A) := \max_{{\bold x}_1, {\bold x}_2, \ldots, {\bold x}_n \in A} {\min_{{\bold x} \in A}{\sum_{j=1}^n{\frac{1}{|{\bold x} - {\bold x}_j|^{p}}}}}$$ (which…

Hooley proved that if $f\in \Bbb Z [X]$ is irreducible of degree $\ge 2$, then the fractions $\{ r/n\}$, $0<r<n$ with $f(r)\equiv 0\pmod n$, are uniformly distributed in $(0,1)$. In this paper we study such problems for reducible…

We completely characterize $\Delta$- and local subexponentialities of positive-half compound Poisson distributions and extend the characterization on two-sided distributions. Moreover, $\Delta$-subexponentiality of infinitely divisible…

We investigate exponential sums over singular binary quartic forms, proving an explicit formula for the finite field Fourier transform of this set. Our formula shares much in common with analogous formulas proved previously for other vector…

Exponential distributions appear in a wide range of applications including chemistry, nuclear physics, time series analyses, and stock market trends. There are conceivable circumstances in which one would be interested in the cumulative…
