Let S_n=X_1+...+X_n be a sum of independent symmetric random variables such that |X_{i}|\leq 1. Denote by W_n=\epsilon_{1}+...+\epsilon_{n} a sum of independent random variables such that \prob{\eps_i = \pm 1} = 1/2. We prove that…

We consider a certain infinite product of random $2 \times 2$ matrices appearing in the solution of some $1$ and $1+1$ dimensional disordered models in statistical mechanics, which depends on a parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and on a real random…

Given a sequence $(X_n)$ of symmetrical random variables taking values in a Hilbert space, an interesting open problem is to determine the conditions under which the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty X_n$ is almost surely convergent. For…

We prove that given any set of $n$ unit vectors $\{v_i\}_{i=1}^{n}\subset \mathbb R^n,$ the inequality \[ \sup\limits_{\Vert x \Vert_{\mathbb R^n} =1} \vert \langle x, v_1 \rangle \cdots \langle x, v_n\rangle\vert \ge n^{-n/2} \] holds for…

In 2014 Adam Marcus, Daniel Spielman and Nikhil Srivastava used random vectors to prove a key discrepancy theorem and in so doing gave a positive answer to the long-standing Kadison-Singer Problem. In this paper we use Walsh matrices to…

The Kadison-Singer Conjecture, as proved by Marcus, Spielman, and Srivastava (MSS) [Ann. Math. 182, 327-350 (2015)], has been informally thought of as a strengthening of Batson, Spielman, and Srivastava's theorem that every undirected graph…

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix with iid entries over a finite field of order $q$. Suppose that the entries do not take values in any additive coset of the field with probability greater than $1 - \alpha$ for some fixed $0 < \alpha…

In this paper, we derive new probability bounds for Chebyshev's inequality if the supremum of the probability density function is known. This result holds for one-dimensional or multivariate continuous probability distributions with finite…

Given $d \ge 1$, let $(A_i)_{i\ge 1}$ be a sequence of random $d\times d$ real matrices and $Q$ be a random vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We consider fixed points of multivariate smoothing transforms, i.e. random variables $X\in \mathbb{R}^d$…

In this paper we give a simple, short, and self-contained proof for a non-trivial upper bound on the probability that a random $\pm 1$ symmetric matrix is singular.

This paper studies quantitative deviation bounds for statistical ensembles evolving under the one-parameter flow of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system. Combining Nekhoroshev-type stability estimates with phase-mixing arguments, we…

We prove a Large Deviations Principle for the number of intersections of two independent infinite-time ranges in dimension five and more, improving upon the moment bounds of Khanin, Mazel, Shlosman and Sina{\"i} [KMSS94]. This settles, in…

We consider a general class of random matrices whose entries are centred random variables, independent up to a symmetry constraint. We establish precise high-probability bounds on the averages of arbitrary monomials in the resolvent matrix…

For a class $F$ of complex-valued functions on a set $D$, we denote by $g_n(F)$ its sampling numbers, i.e., the minimal worst-case error on $F$, measured in $L_2$, that can be achieved with a recovery algorithm based on $n$ function…

We prove explicit lower bounds for the smallest singular value and upper bounds for the condition number of rectangular, multivariate Vandermonde matrices with scattered nodes on the complex unit circle. Analogously to the Shannon-Nyquist…

Let $X$ be an $n\times n$ symmetric random matrix with independent but non-identically distributed entries. The deviation inequalities of the spectral norm of $X$ with Gaussian entries have been obtained by using the standard concentration…

We consider an $n$ by $n$ matrix of the form $A=UTV$, with $U, V$ some independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices and $T$ a deterministic matrix. We prove that for $k\sim n^{1/6}$ and $b^2:=\frac{1}{n}\operatorname{Tr}(|T|^2)$, as $n$…

We show that the maximal determinant D(n) for $n \times n$ ${\pm 1}$-matrices satisfies $R(n) := D(n)/n^{n/2} \ge \kappa_d > 0$. Here $n^{n/2}$ is the Hadamard upper bound, and $\kappa_d$ depends only on $d := n-h$, where $h$ is the maximal…

Let $\{\xi_1,\xi_2,\ldots\}$ be a sequence of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables. In this paper, the sufficient conditions are found under which the tail probability…

We give general lower bounds on the maximal determinant of n by n {+1,-1}-matrices, both with and without the assumption of the Hadamard conjecture. Our bounds improve on earlier results of de Launey and Levin (2010) and, for certain…
