Let $(a_k)_{k\in\mathbb N}$ be a sequence of integers satisfying the Hadamard gap condition $a_{k+1}/a_k>q>1$ for all $k\in\mathbb N$, and let $$ S_n(\omega) = \sum_{k=1}^n\cos(2\pi a_k \omega),\qquad n\in\mathbb N,\;\omega\in [0,1]. $$ The…
In a recent paper, Aistleitner, Gantert, Kabluchko, Prochno and Ramanan studied large deviation principles (LDPs) for lacunary trigonometric sums $\sum_{n=1}^N \cos(2 \pi n_k x)$, where the sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ satisfies the Hadamard…
We prove a strong invariance principle for the sums PN k=1 f(nkx), where f is a smooth periodic function on R and (nk)k?1 is an increasing random sequence. Our results show that in contrast to the classical Salem-Zygmund theory, the…
Classical works of Kac, Salem and Zygmund, and Erd\H{o}s and G\'{a}l have shown that lacunary trigonometric sums despite their dependency structure behave in various ways like sums of independent and identically distributed random…
We describe large deviations for normalized multiple iterated sums and integrals of the form $\bbS_N^{(\nu)}(t)=N^{-\nu}\sum_{0\leq k_1<...<k_\nu\leq Nt}\xi(k_1)\otimes\cdots\otimes\xi(k_\nu)$, $t\in[0,T]$ and…
In this paper we present the theory of lacunary trigonometric sums and lacunary sums of dilated functions, from the origins of the subject up to recent developments. We describe the connections with mathematical topics such as…
It is well-known that for a quickly increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the functions $(\cos 2 \pi n_k x)_{k \geq 1}$ show a behavior which is typical for sequences of independent random variables. If the growth condition on $(n_k)_{k…
We study the large deviation behaviour of $S_n=\sum_{j=1}^n W_jZ_j$, where $(W_j)_{j \in \mathbb N}$ and $(Z_j)_{j \in \mathbb N}$ are sequences of real-valued, independent and identically distributed random variables satisfying certain…
By a classical result of Weyl, for any increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ of integers the sequence of fractional parts $(\{n_k x\})_{k \geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1 for almost all $x \in [0,1]$. Except for a few special…
In this paper we prove large deviations results for partial sums constructed from the solution to a stochastic recurrence equation. We assume Kesten's condition [Acta Math. 131 (1973) 207-248] under which the solution of the stochastic…
We establish large deviation principles for the largest eigenvalue of large random matrices with variance profiles. For $N \in \mathbb N$, we consider random $N \times N$ symmetric matrices $H^N$ which are such that…
We prove a large deviation result for a random symmetric n x n matrix with independent identically distributed entries to have a few eigenvalues of size n. If the spectrum S survives when the matrix is rescaled by a factor of n, it can only…
We study the asymptotic behavior of cumulants of lacunary trigonometric sums $S_n(\omega) := \sum_{k=1}^n \cos (2 \pi a_k \omega)$, $\omega\in[0,1]$, and show that cumulant growth is highly sensitive to the arithmetic structure of the…
By a classical principle of analysis, sufficiently thin subsequences of general sequences of functions behave like sequences of independent random variables. This observation not only explains the remarkable properties of lacunary…
A classical observation in analysis asserts that lacunary systems of dilated functions show many properties which are also typical for systems of independent random variables. For example, if $(n_k)_{k \ge 1}$ is a sequence of integers…
Let (X_n,Y_n) be i.i.d. random vectors. Let W(x) be the partial sum of Y_n just before that of X_n exceeds x>0. Motivated by stochastic models for neural activity, uniform convergence of the form $\sup_{c\in I}|a(c,x)\operatorname…
We prove pathwise large deviation principles of slow variables in slow-fast systems in the limit of time-scale separation tending to infinity. In the limit regime we consider, the convergence of the slow variable to its deterministic limit…
Let $f$ be a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function. For various arithmetically interesting subsets $\mathcal A\subseteq [1, N]\cap\mathbb N$ such that the distribution of $\sum_{n\in \mathcal A} f(n)$ is approximately…
Given an increasing sequence of integers a(n), it is known (due to Weyl) that for almost all reals t, the fractional parts of the dilated sequence t*a(n) are uniformly distributed in the unit interval. Some effort has been made recently to…
In this paper, we study distributional properties of the sequence of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of fractions $a/N$, where $N$ is fixed and $a$ runs through the set of mod $N$ residue classes which are coprime with…
