For any origin-symmetric convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in isotropic position, we obtain the bound: \[ M^*(K) \leq C \sqrt{n} \log(n)^2 L_K ~, \] where $M^*(K)$ denotes (half) the mean-width of $K$, $L_K$ is the isotropic constant of…
We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…
It is well known that if a random vector satisfies a log-Sobolev inequality, all of its marginals have subgaussian tails. In the spirit of the KLS conjecture, we investigate whether this implication can be reversed under a log-concavity…
Based on a compactness criterion for random fields in Wiener-Sobolev spaces, in this paper, we prove the unique strong solvability of time-inhomogeneous stochastic differential equations with drift coefficients in critical Lebesgue spaces,…
We consider ensembles of Wigner matrices, whose entries are (up to the symmetry constraints) independent and identically distributed random variables. We show the convergence of the Stieltjes transform towards the Stieltjes transform of the…
We introduce a Laplacian separation principle for the the eikonal equation on Markov chains. As application, we prove an isoperimetric concentration inequality for Markov chains with non-negative Ollivier curvature. That is, every single…
We study the adaptation properties of the multivariate log-concave maximum likelihood estimator over three subclasses of log-concave densities. The first consists of densities with polyhedral support whose logarithms are piecewise affine.…
We consider a noninteracting unbounded spin system with conservation of the mean spin. We derive a uniform logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) provided the single-site potential is a bounded perturbation of a strictly convex function. The…
We study the estimation of the value function for continuous-time Markov diffusion processes using a single, discretely observed ergodic trajectory. Our work provides non-asymptotic statistical guarantees for the least-squares…
This paper is a follow-up to the recent paper "A note on isotropic discrepancy and spectral test of lattice point sets" [J. Complexity, 58:101441, 2020]. We show that the isotropic discrepancy of a lattice point set is at most $d \,…
Our main contribution is a concentration inequality for the symmetric volume difference of a $ C^2 $ convex body with positive Gaussian curvature and a circumscribed random polytope with a restricted number of facets, for any probability…
The paper concerns the sharp boundary regularity estimates in homogenization of Dirichlet problem for Stokes systems. We obtain the Lipschitz estimates for velocity term and $L^\infty$ estimate for pressure term, under some reasonable…
We revisit the problem of sampling from a target distribution that has a smooth strongly log-concave density everywhere in $\mathbb R^p$. In this context, if no additional density information is available, the randomized midpoint…
We obtain an improved Sobolev inequality in H^s spaces involving Morrey norms. This refinement yields a direct proof of the existence of optimizers and the compactness up to symmetry of optimizing sequences for the usual Sobolev embedding.…
We generalize and improve results of Andrews, Gravner, Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik on metastability thresholds for generalized two-dimensional bootstrap percolation models, and answer several of their open problems and conjectures.…
We prove logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and concentration results for convex functions and a class of product random vectors. The results are used to derive tail and moment inequalities for chaos variables (in spirit of Talagrand and…
The periodic KdV equation u_t=u_{xxx}+\beta uu_x arises from a Hamiltonian system with infinite-dimensional phase space L^2(T). Bourgain has shown that there exists a Gibbs measure \nu on balls \{\phi :\Vert\Phi\Vert^2_{L^2}\leq N\} in the…
We study fine P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} rearrangement inequalities into weighted intervals for Sobolev functions and functions of bounded variation defined on metric measure spaces supporting an isoperimetric inequality. We then specialize this…
It is well-known that measures whose density is the form $e^{-V}$ where $V$ is a uniformly convex potential on $\RR^n$ attain strong concentration properties. In search of a notion of log-concavity on the discrete hypercube, we consider…
Symplectic capacities are invariants in symplectic geometry that are used to obstruct symplectic embeddings. From a certain symplectic capacity, the Ekeland-Hofer-Zehnder capacity, one can construct the systolic ratio, which measures the…
