The study of convolution powers of a finitely supported probability distribution $\phi$ on the $d$-dimensional square lattice is central to random walk theory. For instance, the $n$th convolution power $\phi^{(n)}$ is the distribution of…

We introduce a notion of "local stability in permutations" for finitely generated groups. If a group is sofic and locally stable in our sense, then it is also locally embeddable into finite groups (LEF). Our notion is weaker than the…

In this paper we prove a quantiative local limit theorem for the distribution of the number of triangles in the Erd\H{o}s-Renyi random graph $G(n,p)$, for a fixed $p\in (0,1)$. This proof is an extension of the previous work of Gilmer and…

We prove a quantitative local limit theorem for the number of descents in a random permutation. Our proof uses a conditioning argument and is based on bounding the characteristic function $\phi(t)$ of the number of descents. We also…

In this paper we investigate the local limit theorem for additive functionals of nonstationary Markov chains that converge in distribution. We consider both the lattice and the non-lattice cases. The results are also new in the stationary…

In this paper we present a new proof of the sufficiency theorem for strong local minimizers concerning $C^1$-extremals at which the second variation is strictly positive. The results are presented in the quasiconvex setting, in accordance…

We consider 1-dimensional location estimation, where we estimate a parameter $\lambda$ from $n$ samples $\lambda + \eta_i$, with each $\eta_i$ drawn i.i.d. from a known distribution $f$. For fixed $f$ the maximum-likelihood estimate (MLE)…

In this work we establish local limit theorems for q-multinomial and multiple Heine distributions. Specifically, the pointwise convergence of the q-multinomial distribution of the first kind, as well as for its discrete limit, the multiple…

We study the local limit theorem for weighted sums of Bernoulli variables. We show on examples that this is an important question in the general theory of the local limit theorem, and which turns up to be not well explored. The examples we…

We define and study a natural category of graph limits. The objects are pairs $(\pi,\mu)$, where $\pi$ (the distribution of vertices) is an abstract probability measure on some abstract measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$ and $\mu$ (the…

We prove a local limit theorem for nearest neighbours random walks in stationary random environment of conductances on Z without using any of both classic assumptions of uniform ellipticity and independence on the conductances. Besides the…

We study p-adic counterparts of stable distributions, that is limit distributions for sequences of normalized sums of independent identically distributed p-adic-valued random variables. In contrast to the classical case, non-degenerate…

In this paper we present a new correlation inequality and use it for proving an Almost Sure Local Limit Theorem for the so-called Dickman distribution. Several related results are also proved

We establish the upper bound on the speed of convergence to the infinitely divisible limit density in the local limit theorem for triangular arrays of random variables $\{X_{k,n},\, k=1,..,a_n, \, n\in \nat\}$.

We consider the products $G_n = A_n \cdots A_1$ of independent and identical distributed nonnegative $d \times d$ matrices $(A_i)_{i \geq 1}$. For any starting point $x \in \mathbb{R}_+^d$ with unit norm, we establish the convergence to a…

In Siotani & Fujikoshi (1984), a precise local limit theorem for the multinomial distribution is derived by inverting the Fourier transform, where the error terms are explicit up to order $N^{-1}$. In this paper, we give an alternative…

We introduce the notion of localized topological pressure for continuous maps on compact metric spaces. The localized pressure of a continuous potential $\varphi$ is computed by considering only those $(n,\epsilon)$-separated sets whose…

Random walks in random scenery are processes defined by $Z_n:=\sum_{k=1}^n\xi_{X_1+...+X_k}$, where $(X_k,k\ge 1)$ and $(\xi_y,y\in\mathbb Z)$ are two independent sequences of i.i.d. random variables. We assume here that their distributions…

We define the local empirical process, based on $n$ i.i.d. random vectors in dimension $d$, in the neighborhood of the boundary of a fixed set. Under natural conditions on the shrinking neighborhood, we show that, for these local empirical…

Let $r=r(n)$ be a sequence of integers such that $r\leq n$ and let $X_1,\ldots,X_{r+1}$ be independent random points distributed according to the Gaussian, the Beta or the spherical distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Limit theorems for the…
