We give a purely combinatorial proof of the density Hales--Jewett Theorem that is modeled after Polymath's proof but is significantly simpler. In particular, we avoid the use of the equal-slices measure and work exclusively with the uniform…
Probabilistic models of directed polymers in random environment have received considerable attention in recent years. Much of this attention has focused on integrable models. In this paper, we introduce some new computational tools that do…
Michael Handel has proved in [Ha] a fixed point theorem for an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the open unit disk, that turned out to be an efficient tool in the study of the dynamics of surface homeomorphisms. The present article…
We study the distribution of a general class of asymptoticallylinear statistics which are symmetric functions of $N$ independent observations. The distribution functions of these statistics are approximated by an Edgeworth expansion with a…
We describe a short, reproducible workflow for applying finite differences on nonuniform grids determined by a positive weight function g. The grid is obtained by equidistribution, mapping uniform computational coordinates $\xi\in[0,1]$ to…
In this paper we investigate the distribution of the set of values of a linear map at integer points on a quadratic surface. In particular, it is shown that subject to certain algebraic conditions, this set is equidistributed. This can be…
A distributional symmetry is invariance of a distribution under a group of transformations. Exchangeability and stationarity are examples. We explain that a result of ergodic theory provides a law of large numbers: If the group satisfies…
We present a proof of Roth's theorem that follows a slightly different structure to the usual proofs, in that there is not much iteration. Although our proof works using a type of density increment argument (which is typical of most proofs…
A $k$-modal probability distribution over the discrete domain $\{1,...,n\}$ is one whose histogram has at most $k$ "peaks" and "valleys." Such distributions are natural generalizations of monotone ($k=0$) and unimodal ($k=1$) probability…
This paper is the third part of our study started with Cattiaux, Le\'{o}n and Prieur [Stochastic Process. Appl. 124 (2014) 1236-1260; ALEA Lat. Am. J. Probab. Math. Stat. 11 (2014) 359-384]. For some ergodic Hamiltonian systems, we obtained…
We give an elementary, Fourier-free proof of Roth's theorem. The proof follows Roth's original density-increment strategy, but replaces the usual Fourier-analytic step with a direct combinatorial argument involving averages over…
We introduce a novel discretization scheme for Wasserstein gradient flows that involves successively computing Schr\"{o}dinger bridges with the same marginals. This is different from both the forward/geodesic approximation and the…
We consider the Stokes phenomenon and higher-order Stokes phenomenon (HOSP) of formal asymptotic transseries arising in the WKBJ analysis of linear differential equations and integral problems. We introduce a framework of automorphisms that…
We prove an effective equidistribution theorem for orbits of horospherical subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(2, 2)$ and $\mathrm{SO}(3, 1)$ in quotients of $\mathrm{SL}_4(\mathbb{R})$ with a polynomial error term. In a forthcoming paper, we will…
We introduce a non-autonomous generalization of spatial-temporal differentiations, and prove results about probabilistically and topologically generic behaviors of certain spatial-temporal differentiations generated by endomorphisms of…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity results of collections of sequences with respect to systems of commuting measure preserving transformations. Combining these results with a new technique that we call…
We show that an expanding toral endomorphism in dimension 2 admits a smooth (in fact linear) Markov partition if and only if some power of the corresponding integer matrix is diagonalizable with integer eigenvalues. We exhibit examples of…
We extend the unpublished work of M. Handel and R. Miller on the classification, up to isotopy, of endperiodic automorphisms of surfaces. We give the Handel-Miller construction of the geodesic laminations, give an axiomatic theory for…
We prove a version of Quillen's stratification theorem in equivariant homotopy theory for a finite group $G$, generalizing the classical theorem in two directions. Firstly, we work with arbitrary commutative equivariant ring spectra as…
We consider two jointly stationary and ergodic random measures $\xi$ and $\eta$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with equal finite intensities, assuming $\xi$ to be diffuse. An allocation is a random mapping taking $\mathbb{R}^d$ to…
