If $S$ is a cofinite set of positive integers, an "$S$-restricted composition of $n$" is a sequence of elements of $S$, denoted $\vec{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...)$, whose sum is $n$. For uniform random $S$-restricted compositions, the…

In 1971 Taylor characterised all complex measures on $\mathbb{R}$ that are invertible with respect to convolution as those which can be written in the form $\delta_\gamma \ast \sigma^{\ast m} \ast \exp(\nu)$ for some $\gamma\in \mathbb{R}$,…

In this note we establish a uniform bound for the distribution of a sum $S_n=X_1+\cdots+X_n$ of independent non-homogeneous Bernoulli trials. Specifically, we prove that $\sigma_n \mathbb{P}(S_n\!=\!j)\leq\eta$ where $\sigma_n$ denotes the…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of all permutations of $\{1, \cdots, n\}$ with two generators: the transposition switching $1$ with $2$ and the cyclic permutation sending $k$ to $k+1$ for $1\leq k\leq n-1$ and $n$ to $1$ (denoted by…

We consider random permutation matrices following a one-parameter family of deformations of the uniform distribution, called Ewens' measures, and modifications of these matrices where the entries equal to one are replaced by i.i.d uniform…

A digit $\pi_j$ in a permutation $\pi=[\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]\in S_n$ is defined to be a separator of $\pi$ if by omitting it from $\pi$ we get a new $2-$block. In this work we introduce a new statistic, the number of separators, on the…

Let $\{G_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of transitive infinite connected graphs with $\sup\limits_{n\geq 1} p_c(G_n) < 1,$ where each $p_c(G_n)$ is bond percolation critical probability on $G_n.$ Schramm (2008) conjectured that if $G_n$…

We study the size (or volume) of balls in the metric space of permutations, $S_n$, under the infinity metric. We focus on the regime of balls with radius $r = \rho \cdot (n\!-\!1)$, $\rho \in [0,1]$, i.e., a radius that is a constant…

Let $E$ be a Moran set on $\mathbb{R}^1$ associated with a closed interval $J$ and two sequences $(n_k)_{k=1}^\infty$ and $(\mathcal{C}_k=(c_{k,j})_{j=1}^{n_k})_{k\geq1}$. Let $\mu$ be the infinite product measure (Moran measure) on $E$…

We study the number of random permutations needed to invariably generate the symmetric group, $S_n$, when the distribution of cycle counts has the strong $\alpha$-logarithmic property. The canonical example is the Ewens sampling formula,…

We consider sample covariance matrices $S_N=\frac{1}{p}\Sigma_N^{1/2}X_NX_N^* \Sigma_N^{1/2}$ where $X_N$ is a $N \times p$ real or complex matrix with i.i.d. entries with finite $12^{\rm th}$ moment and $\Sigma_N$ is a $N \times N$…

Kerov, Olshanski and Vershik introduced the so-called virtual permutations, defined as families of permutations $(\sigma_N)_{N \geq 1}$, $\sigma_N$ in the symmetric group of order $N$, such that the cycle structure of $\sigma_N$ can be…

The main goal of this note is to prove the following theorem. If $A_n$ is a sequence of measurable sets in a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)$ that covers $\mu$-a.e. $x \in X$ infinitely many times, then there exists a…

We prove an isoperimetric inequality for probability measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density proportional to $\exp(-\phi(\lambda | x|))$, where $|x|$ is the euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\phi$ is a non-decreasing convex…

We show that there exists a gap between the performance of separable and collective measurements in qubit mixed-state estimation that persists in the large sample limit. We characterize such gap in terms of the corresponding bounds on the…

We consider uniform random permutations in classes having a finite combinatorial specification for the substitution decomposition. These classes include (but are not limited to) all permutation classes with a finite number of simple…

We consider the effect on the mixing properties of a piecewise smooth interval map $f$ when its domain is divided into $N$ equal subintervals and $f$ is composed with a permutation of these. The case of the stretch-and-fold map $f(x)=mx…

This work extends Favard-type spectral representations for banded matrices $T$ beyond the bounded setting. It assumes that, for every $N\in\mathbb N_0$, there exists a shift $s_N\ge 0$ such that the shifted truncation $A_N:= T^{[N]}+s_N…

We extend Friedman's theorem to show that, for any fixed $r>1$, a random $2r$--regular Schreier graph associated with the action of $r$ uniformly random permutations of $[n]$ on $k_{n}$--tuples of distinct elements in $[n]$ has a…

We examine measure preserving mappings $f$ acting from a probability space $(\Omega, F,\mu) $ into a probability space $% (\Omega ^{*},F^{*},\mu ^{*}) ,$ where $\mu ^{*}=\mu (f^{-1})$. Conditions on $f$, under which $f$ preserves the…
