It is well known that (i) for every irrational number $\alpha$ the Kronecker sequence $m\alpha$ ($m=1,...,M$) is equidistributed modulo one in the limit $M\to\infty$, and (ii) closed horocycles of length $\ell$ become equidistributed in the…

In this paper we develop tools for studying limit theorems by means of convexity. We establish bounds for the discrepancy in total variation between probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ such that $\nu$ is log-concave with respect to $\mu$.…

We consider the $1d$ one-component plasma (OCP) in thermal equilibrium, consisting of $N$ equally charged particles on a line, with pairwise Coulomb repulsion and confined by an external harmonic potential. We study two observables: (i) the…

We present a new perspective of assessing the rates of convergence to the Gaussian and Poisson distributions in the Erd\"os-Kac theorem for additive arithmetic functions $\psi$ of a random integer $J_n$ uniformly distributed over…

For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…

Consider $G=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb R)$ and $ \Gamma=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb Z)$. It was recently shown by the second-named author \cite{s} that for some diagonal subgroups $\{g_t\}\subset G$ and unipotent subgroups $U\subset G$, $g_t$-trajectories of…

We study the distribution of sequences of the form $(q_ny)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set…

We consider a stochastic $N$-particle model for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann evolution and prove its convergence to the associated Boltzmann equation when $N\to \infty$. For any time $T>0$ we bound the distance between the empirical…

Shape restrictions such as monotonicity on functions often arise naturally in statistical modeling. We consider a Bayesian approach to the problem of estimation of a monotone regression function and testing for monotonicity. We construct a…

In this paper, we improve on Fouvry and Radziwi{\l}{\l}'s results on unbalanced convolutions. In particular, we find that if $(\alpha_m)$ and $(\beta_n)$ are sequences supported on $m\sim M$ and $n\sim M$ where $\beta$ is equidistributed…

We introduce the notion of a restricted exchangeable partition of $\mathbb{N}$. We obtain integral representations, consider associated fragmentations, embeddings into continuum random trees and convergence to such limit trees. In…

We refine a remark of Steinerberger (2024), proving that for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists integers $1 \leq b_{1}, \ldots, b_{k} \leq n$ such that \[ \left\| \sum_{j=1}^k \sqrt{b_j} - \alpha \right\| = O(n^{-\gamma_k}), \] where…

We study the distribution modulo one of linear recurrent sequences of real numbers. We prove criteria for the finiteness of the set of limit values of the fractional parts of such a sequence and give lower bounds for the maximal distance…

We study the rate of Bayesian consistency for hierarchical priors consisting of prior weights on a model index set and a prior on a density model for each choice of model index. Ghosal, Lember and Van der Vaart [2] have obtained general…

In 1976, Gallagher showed that, conditional on the Hardy--Littlewood conjectures, the number of primes below $x$ in a randomly chosen short interval of length $\lambda \log x$ asymptotically follows a Poisson distribution with mean…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be given. For prime power moduli $q=p^k$ with $k\geq 2$ and $p\neq 3$, and assuming the Ramanujan--Petersson conjecture for $\GL_2$ Maass forms, we prove that the Rankin--Selberg coefficients $\{\lambda_f(n)^2\}_{n\geq…

The parity of the partition function $p(n)$ remains strikingly mysterious. Beyond a handful of fragmentary results, essentially nothing is known about the distribution of parity. We prove a uniform result on quadratic progressions. If…

In this short note, we prove that the one-dimensional Kronecker sequence $i\alpha \bmod 1, i=0,1,2,\ldots,$ is quasi-uniform if and only if $\alpha$ is a badly approximable number. Our elementary proof relies on a result on the three-gap…

We use Stein's method to obtain bounds on the rate of convergence for a class of statistics in geometric probability obtained as a sum of contributions from Poisson points which are exponentially stabilizing, i.e. locally determined in a…
