In this paper, we study the effect of sparsity on the appearance of outliers in the semi-circular law. Let $(W_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of random symmetric matrices such that each $W_n$ is $n\times n$ with i.i.d entries above and on…

Let $\tau(n)$ denote the classical divisor function. In this paper, we consider the hyperbolic fractional sum of the divisor function defined by $$ T(x) = \sum_{n_1 n_2 \leqslant x} \tau\left( \left[ \frac{x}{n_1 n_2} \right] \right) =…

The Mertens function, $M(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n)$, is defined as the summatory function of the classical M\"obius function. The Dirichlet inverse function $g(n) := (\omega+1)^{-1}(n)$ is defined in terms of the shifted strongly…

Let $M$ be a $d$-dimensional connected compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$, let $V\in C^2(M)$ such that $\mu({\rm d} x):={\rm e}^{V(x)}{\rm d} x$ is a probability measure, and let $X_t$ be the diffusion process generated…

Using the Dirichlet theorem on the equidistribution of residue classes modulo $q$ and the Lemke Oliver-Soundararajan conjecture on the distribution of pairs of residues on consecutive primes, we show that the domain of convergence of the…

Many algorithms in machine learning and computational geometry require, as input, the intrinsic dimension of the manifold that supports the probability distribution of the data. This parameter is rarely known and therefore has to be…

Let $f$ be a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, and for $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, let $d_\alpha$ denote the $\alpha$-divisor function. For $\alpha \in (1,2)$ we establish that $$ \mathbb{E}\bigg\{\Big|\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\sum_{n\leq x}…

We study the problem of constructing sequences $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $[0,1]$ in such a way that $$ D_N^* = \sup_{0 \leq x \leq 1} \left| \frac{ \left\{1 \leq i \leq N: x_i \leq x \right\}}{N} - x \right|$$ is uniformly small. A result…

Building on work of Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham, we present a deterministic algorithm that provably finds all integers $p$ such that $p^r \mathrel| N$ in time $O(N^{1/4r+\epsilon})$ for any $\epsilon > 0$. For example, the algorithm…

The article examines the distribution of the power series of the function $ w(y) = \left( 1 + \sqrt{1 - y} \right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}. $ The distribution of the considered function into a power series is obtained $ \left(1 + \sqrt{1 -…

Let $(X_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $\mathbb P(X_1=1)=\mathbb P(X_1=-1)=1/2$. Let $F(\sigma)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty X_nn^{-\sigma}$. We prove that the following holds almost surely…

We provide a general theorem bounding the error in the approximation of a random measure of interest--for example, the empirical population measure of types in a Wright-Fisher model--and a Dirichlet process, which is a measure having…

We prove that if two additive functions (from a certain class) take large values with roughly the same probability then they must be identical. The Kac-Kubilius model suggests that the distribution of values of a given additive function can…

By a result of Heinrich, Novak, Wasilkowski and Wo\'zniakowski the inverse of the star discrepancy $n(d,\varepsilon)$ satisfies $n(d,\varepsilon)\leq c_{\abs}d\varepsilon^{-2}$. Equivalently for any $N$ and $d$ there exists a set of $N$…

For a fixed irrational $\theta > 0$ with a prescribed irrationality measure function, we study the correlation $\int_1^X \Delta(x) \Delta(\theta x) dx$, where $\Delta$ is the Dirichlet error term in the divisor problem. When $\theta$ has a…

We revisit several hybrid multiplicative-to-additive type functions from a recent preprint article. These functions, $g(n)$ with Dirichlet generating function (DGF) $\zeta(s)^{-1} (1+P(s))^{-1}$ for $\Re(s) > 1$ where $P(s) = \sum_p p^{-s}$…

By the continuous mapping theorem, if a sequence of $d$-dimensional random vectors $(\mathbf{W}_n)_{n\geq1}$ converges in distribution to a multivariate normal random variable $\Sigma^{1/2}\mathbf{Z}$, then the sequence of random variables…

We investigate the relationship between the sizes of the sum and difference sets attached to a subset of {0,1,...,N}, chosen randomly according to a binomial model with parameter p(N), with N^{-1} = o(p(N)). We show that the random subset…

We consider the problem of estimating the mean of a random vector based on $N$ independent, identically distributed observations. We prove the existence of an estimator that has a near-optimal error in all directions in which the variance…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…
