We consider generic i.e., forming an everywhere dense massive subset classes of Markov operators in the space $L^2(X,\mu)$ with a finite continuous measure. Since there is a canonical correspondence that associates with each Markov operator…

An $\al$-permanental process $\{X_{ t},t\in T \}$ is a stochastic process determined by a kernel $K=\{K(s,t),s,t\in T \}$, with the property that for all $t_{1},\ldots,t_{n}\in T $, $ |I+K( t_{1},\ldots,t_{n}) S|^{- \al} $ is the Laplace…

We obtain sharp bounds on the convergence rate of Markov chains on irreducible representations of finite general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups (in both odd and even characteristic) given by tensoring with Weil representations.

We establish that, for a Markov semi-group, $L^2$ hypocoercivity, i.e. contractivity for a modified $L^2$ norm, implies quantitative deviation bounds for additive functionals of the associated Markov process and exponential integrability of…

The main purpose of this article is to establish moderate deviation principles for additive functionals of bifurcating Markov chains. Bifurcating Markov chains are a class of processes which are indexed by a regular binary tree. They can be…

The spectral gap of a Markov chain can be bounded by the spectral gaps of constituent "restriction" chains and a "projection" chain, and the strength of such a bound is the content of various decomposition theorems. In this paper, we…

The generating graph encodes how generating pairs are spread among the elements of a group. For more than ten years it has been conjectured that this graph is connected for every finite group. In this paper, we give evidence supporting this…

Using terminologies of information geometry, we derive upper and lower bounds of the tail probability of the sample mean. Employing these bounds, we obtain upper and lower bounds of the minimum error probability of the 2nd kind of error…

We consider symmetric Markov chains on $\Bbb Z^d$ where we do {\bf not} assume that the conductance between two points must be zero if the points are far apart. Under a uniform second moment condition on the conductances, we obtain upper…

The Paszkiewicz conjecture about a product of positive contractions asserts that given a decreasing sequence $T_1\ge T_2\ge \dots$ of positive contractions on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the product $S_n=T_n\dots T_1$…

We show that the weak infinitesimal generator of a class of Markov processes acts on bounded continuous functions with bounded continuous second derivative as a singular integral with respect to the orthogonality measure of the explicit…

Consider a filtering process associated to a hidden Markov model with densities for which both the state space and the observation space are complete, separable, metric spaces. If the underlying, hidden Markov chain is strongly ergodic and…

We show that for every finitely generated closed subgroup $K$ of a non-solvable Demushkin group $G$, there exists an open subgroup $U$ of $G$ containing $K$, and a continuous homomorphism $\tau \colon U \to K$ satisfying $\tau(k) = k$ for…

We focus on a data sequence produced by repetitive quantum measurement on an internal hidden quantum system, and call it a hidden Markovian process. Using a quantum version of the Perron-Frobenius theorem, we derive novel upper and lower…

This paper studies a basic Markov chain, the Burnside process, on the space of flags $G/B$ with $G = GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and $B$ its upper triangular matrices. This gives rise to a shuffling: a Markov chain on the symmetric group realized…

We analyze families of Markov chains that arise from decomposing tensor products of irreducible representations. This illuminates the Burnside-Brauer Theorem for building irreducible representations, the McKay Correspondence, and Pitman's…

This article generalises the well-known Katznelson-Tzafriri theorem for a $C_0$-semigroup $T$ on a Banach space $X$, by removing the assumption that a certain measure in the original result be absolutely continuous. In an important special…

Let $X$ be a Berkovich space over a valued field. We prove that every finite group is a Galois group over $\Ms(B)(T)$, where $\Ms(B)$ is the field of meromorphic functions over a part $B$ of $X$ satisfying some conditions. This gives a new…

We have studied Markov processes on denumerable state space and continuous time. We found that all these processes are connected via gauge transformations. We have used this result before as a method for resolution of equations, included…

Consider an N-dimensional Markov chain obtained from N one-dimensional random walks by Doob h-transform with the q-Vandermonde determinant. We prove that as N becomes large, these Markov chains converge to an infinite-dimensional Feller…
