We give concentration bounds for martingales that are uniform over finite times and extend classical Hoeffding and Bernstein inequalities. We also demonstrate our concentration bounds to be optimal with a matching anti-concentration…

We study a variant of the equidistribution of mass conjecture on the sphere posed by B\"ocherer, Sarnak, and Schulze-Pillot: quantum unique ergodicity in shrinking sets. Conditionally on the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we show that…

We consider the communication complexity of some fundamental convex optimization problems in the point-to-point (coordinator) and blackboard communication models. We strengthen known bounds for approximately solving linear regression,…

The purpose of this article is to introduce for dispersive partial differential equations with random initial data, the notion of well-posedness (in the Hadamard-probabilistic sense). We restrict the study to one of the simplest examples of…

We prove sharp anti-concentration results for log-concave random variables on the real line in both the discrete and continuous setting. Our approach is elementary and uses majorization techniques to recover and extend some recent and not…

We consider rational points on the sphere and investigate their equidistribution in shrinking spherical caps. For the two-dimensional sphere, we leverage Hecke operators to obtain a significantly improved small-scale equidistribution bound,…

The `full' edge isoperimetric inequality for the discrete cube (due to Harper, Bernstein, Lindsay and Hart) specifies the minimum size of the edge boundary $\partial A$ of a set $A \subset \{0,1\}^n$, as a function of $|A|$. A weaker (but…

An upper bound for the Lebesgue constant (the supremum norm) of the operator of interpolation of a function in equally spaced points of a triangle by a polynomial of total degree less than or equal to n is obtained. Earlier, the rate of…

We prove anti-concentration bounds for the inner product of two independent random vectors. For example, we show that if $A,B$ are subsets of the cube $\{\pm 1\}^n$ with $|A| \cdot |B| \geq 2^{1.01 n}$, and $X \in A$ and $Y \in B$ are…

In compact settings, the convergence rate of the empirical optimal transport cost to its population value is well understood for a wide class of spaces and cost functions. In unbounded settings, however, hitherto available results require…

We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for minimizers of causal variational principles in the non-compact setting with constraints, possibly prescribing symmetries. Considering first variations, we show that the minimizing measure is…

We show that the minimum distance projection in the L1-norm from an interior point onto the boundary of a convex set is achieved by a single, unidimensional projection. Application of this characterization when the convex set is a…

In this note, we establish a compact law of the iterated logarithm under the upper capacity for independent and identically distributed random variables in a sub-linear expectation space. For showing the result, a self-normalized law of the…

We investigate the iterative behaviour of continuous order preserving subhomogeneous maps that map a polyhedral cone into itself. For these maps we show that every bounded orbit converges to a periodic orbit and, moreover, that there exists…
