In many high-dimensional problems,polynomial-time algorithms fall short of achieving the statistical limits attainable without computational constraints. A powerful approach to probe the limits of polynomial-time algorithms is to study the…

We introduce a general framework for studying anticoncentration and local limit theorems for random variables, including graph statistics. Our methods involve an interplay between Fourier analysis, decoupling, hypercontractivity of Boolean…

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…

The central limit theorem (CLT) is one of the most fundamental results in probability; and establishing its rate of convergence has been a key question since the 1940s. For independent random variables, a series of recent works established…

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…

We give a complete expansion, at any accuracy order, for the iterated convolution of a complex valued integrable sequence in one space dimension. The remainders are estimated sharply with generalized Gaussian bounds. The result applies in…

This paper considers limit theorems associated with subgraph counts in the age-dependent random connection model. First, we identify regimes where the count of sub-trees converges weakly to a stable random variable under suitable…

We give a new proof of logarithmic bounds for Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions, namely that if $A \subset \{1,2,\ldots,N\}$ is free of three-term progressions, then $\lvert A\rvert \leq N/(\log N)^{1-o(1)}$. Unlike previous proofs,…

We derive a central limit theorem for a spatial $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot model with fluctuating population size. At each reproduction, a proportion of the population dies and is replaced by a not necessarily equal mass of new individuals. The…

We consider a symmetric random walk on the $\nu$-dimensional lattice, whose exit probability from the origin is modified by an antisymmetric perturbation and prove the local central limit theorem for this process. A short-range correction…

We present a new proof rule for verifying lower bounds on quantities of probabilistic programs. Our proof rule is not confined to almost-surely terminating programs -- as is the case for existing rules -- and can be used to establish…

We prove that if $A$ is any set of prime numbers satisfying \[ \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a}=\infty, \] then $A$ must contain a $3$-term arithmetic progression. This is accomplished by combining the transference principle with a density…

We give a sufficient condition for the local limit theorem. To construct it, we employ infinite times of convolutions of probability density functions.

In this note, we show how to adapt Tao's slice rank method to extend the Ellenberg--Gijswijt theorem on cap sets to the problem of forbidding arithmetic progressions with restricted differences. In particular, we show that if $q$ is an odd…
