Separation bounds are a fundamental measure of the complexity of solving a zero-dimensional system as it measures how difficult it is to separate its zeroes. In the positive dimensional case, the notion of reach takes its place. In this…

Given a mean zero functional $F$ of a Poisson measure on a metric space, we apply the Malliavin-Stein method to establish sharpened second-order Poincar\'e inequalities for $F/\sqrt{\operatorname{Var} (F)}$ in terms of fourth moments of…

Let $S_n$ be a random walk with i.i.d. increments which have zero mean and finite variance. For every $x\ge0$ we define the stopping time $\tau_x:=\inf\{n\ge1:x+S_n\le0\}$ and consider the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(x+S_n\ge y,\tau_x>n)$. We…

Let $ (Z_{n})_{n\geq 0} $ be a supercritical branching process in an independent and identically distributed random environment. We establish an optimal convergence rate in the Wasserstein-$1$ distance for the process $ (Z_{n})_{n\geq 0} $,…

We obtain Berry-Esseen type estimates for "nonconventional" expressions of the form $\xi_N=\frac 1{\sqrt N}\sum_{n=1}^N(F(X(q_1(n)),...,X(q_\ell(n)))-\bar F)$

We establish new lower bounds for the normal approximation in the Wasserstein distance of random variables that are functionals of a Poisson measure. Our results generalize previous findings by Nourdin and Peccati (2012, 2015) and Bierm\'e,…

We investigate the conditional distributions of two Banach space valued, jointly Gaussian random variables. In particular, we show that these conditional distributions are again Gaussian and that their means and covariances can be…

We study the self-normalized sums of independent random variables from the perspective of the Malliavin calculus. We give the chaotic expansion for them and we prove a Berry-Ess\'een bound with respect to several distances.

We investigate the almost sure asymptotic properties of vector martingale transforms. Assuming some appropriate regularity conditions both on the increasing process and on the moments of the martingale, we prove that normalized moments of…

This paper provides a quantitative version of de Finetti law of large numbers. Given an infinite sequence $\{X_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ of exchangeable Bernoulli variables, it is well-known that $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n X_i…

We derive exponential bounds on probabilities of large deviations for "light tail" martingales taking values in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Our primary emphasis is on the case where the bounds are dimension-independent or nearly so.…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the orthomartingale-coboundary decomposition. We establish a sufficient condition for the approximation of the partial sums of a strictly stationary random fields by those of stationary…

The eigenvector empirical spectral distribution (VESD) is a useful tool in studying the limiting behavior of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of covariance matrices. In this paper, we study the convergence rate of the VESD of sample covariance…

We give tight concentration bounds for mixtures of martingales that are simultaneously uniform over (a) mixture distributions, in a PAC-Bayes sense; and (b) all finite times. These bounds are proved in terms of the martingale variance,…

We obtain rates of convergence in limit theorems of partial sums $S_n$ for certain sequences of dependent, identically distributed random variables, which arise naturally in statistical mechanics, in particular, in the context of the…

Let $S_n=I_1+\cdots+I_n$ be a sum of independent indicators $I_i$, with $p_i=\Pr(I_i=1)=1-\Pr(I_i=0)$, $i=1,\ldots,n$. It is well-known that the total variation distance between $S_n$ and $Z_\lambda$, where $Z_\lambda$ has a Poisson…

For a set-valued stochastic sequence $(G_n)_{n=0}^N$ with relatively open convex values $G_n(\omega)$ we give a criterion for the existence of an adapted sequence $(x_n)_{n=0}^N$ of selectors, admitting an equivalent martingale measure.…

Let $d, r \in \N$, $\|\cdot\|$ any norm on $\R^d$ and $B$ denote the unit ball with respect to this norm. We show that any sequence $v_1,v_2,...$ of vectors in $B$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsequences $V_1, ..., V_r$ in a balanced…

The main purpose of this paper is to propose a variance-based Bregman extragradient algorithm with line search for solving stochastic variational inequalities, which is robust with respect an unknown Lipschitz constant. We prove the almost…
