Building on the recent work of Johnson (2007) and Yu (2008), we prove that entropy is a concave function with respect to the thinning operation T_a. That is, if X and Y are independent random variables on Z_+ with ultra-log-concave…
We extend the existing framework of semi-implicit variational inference (SIVI) and introduce doubly semi-implicit variational inference (DSIVI), a way to perform variational inference and learning when both the approximate posterior and the…
We demonstrate three properties conjectured to hold for a certain function by Levin (2025) in a study of the blimpy graphical shape of the number of bit strings with a given score under an interesting scoring system. The properties include…
We investigate a one-time single shelf shuffle by establishing the position matrix explicitly. In some cases, we prove a no-feedback optimal guessing strategy. A general no-feedback strategy is conjectured, and asymptotics for the expected…
This paper gives a new application of so-called connected sums, introduced recently by Seki and Yamamoto. Special about our approach is that it proves a duality for the Schlesinger-Zudilin and the Bradley-Zhao model of qMZVs simultaneously.…
There are given sufficient conditions under which mixtures of dilations of L\'evy spectral measures, on a Hilbert space, are L\'evy measures again. We introduce some random integrals with respect to infinite dimensional L\'evy processes,…
In their seminal paper "Double zeta values and modular forms" Gangl, Kaneko and Zagier defined a double Eisenstein series and used it to study the relations between double zeta values. One of their key ideas is to study the formal double…
This paper studies biased riffle shuffles, first defined by Diaconis, Fill, and Pitman. These shuffles generalize the well-studied Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds shuffle and convolve nicely. An upper bound is given for the time for these shuffles to…
In order to give a unified generalization of the BW inequality and the DDVV inequality, Lu and Wenzel proposed three Conjectures 1, 2, 3 and an open Question 1 in 2016. In this paper we discuss further these conjectures and put forward…
We prove here that the polynomial <nabla(C_p(1)), e_a h_b h_c> q, t-enumerates, by the statistics dinv and area, the parking functions whose supporting Dyck path touches the main diagonal according to the composition p of size a + b + c and…
We prove limit theorems for the number of fixed points, descents, and inversions of iterated random-to-top shuffles in two asymptotic regimes. Our proofs are analytic, and they utilize new combinatorial decompositions that represent each…
I introduce new Langlands duality conjectures concerning skein modules of 3-manifolds, which we have made recently with David Ben-Zvi, Sam Gunningham, and Pavel Safronov. I recount some historical motivation and some recent special cases…
Using the Berele/Remmel/Kerov/Vershik variation of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, we study the cycle and increasing subsequence structure after various methods of shuffling. One consequence is a cycle index for shuffles like:…
We introduce the concepts of an amazing hypercube decomposition and a double shortcut for it, and use these new ideas to formulate a conjecture implying the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for the…
We provide an explicit description of the recurrent configurations of the sandpile model on a family of graphs $\widehat{G}_{\mu,\nu}$, which we call clique-independent graphs, indexed by two compositions $\mu$ and $\nu$. Moreover, we…
This is a survey of arXiv:1803.10151v4, arXiv:1807.07786v2 and arXiv:1908.00444v2 by H. Furusho and the author. The purpose of this series of papers is: (1) to give a proof that associator relations imply double shuffle relations,…
We propose new algebraic invariants that distinguish and classify entangled states. Considering qubits as well as higher spin systems, we obtained complete entanglement classifications for cases that were either unsolved or only conjectured…
Using a characterization of Mutual Complete Dependence copulas, we show that, with respect to the Sobolev norm, the MCD copulas can be approximated arbitrarily closed by shuffles of Min. This result is then used to obtain a characterization…
The number of inversions is a statistic on permutation groups measuring the degree to which the entries of a permutation are out of order. We provide a generalization of that statistic by introducing the statistic number of pseudoinversions…
After the introduction in 1994, by Okabe and Matsuda, of the notion of semistar operation, many authors have investigated different aspects of this general and powerful concept. A natural development of the recent work in this area leads to…
