We discuss an approach to compute the first and second moments of the number of eigenvalues $I_N$ that lie in an arbitrary interval of the real line for $N \times N$ Gaussian random matrices. The method combines the standard…
We show that the centered maximum of a sequence of log-correlated Gaussian fields in any dimension converges in distribution, under the assumption that the covariances of the fields converge in a suitable sense. We identify the limit as a…
For a multivariate normal distribution, the sparsity of the covariance and precision matrices encodes complete information about independence and conditional independence properties. For general distributions, the covariance and precision…

We consider correlated random variables $X_1,\dots,X_n$ taking values in $\{0,1\}$ such that, for any permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, the random vectors $(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ and $(X_{\pi(1)},\dots,X_{\pi(n)})$ have the same distribution.…
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the minima of nonnegative, i.i.d. random variables and of both the maxima of minima and the minima of maxima for such r.v.'s. It turns out that the idea of…
Although there is an extensive literature on the maxima of Gaussian processes, there are relatively few non-asymptotic bounds on their lower-tail probabilities. The aim of this paper is to develop such a bound, while also allowing for many…

Consider two independent Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi $G(N,1/2)$ graphs. We show that with probability tending to $1$ as $N\to\infty$, the largest induced isomorphic subgraph has size either $\lfloor x_N-\varepsilon_N\rfloor$ or $\lfloor…

Skew-symmetric functions are a class of functions defined on a product space $M \times M$ that are antisymmetric with respect to the order of their inputs. In [13], the authors proved that non-deterministic skew-symmetric Gaussian fields…

To investigate and specify the statistical properties of cosmological fields with particular attention to possible non-Gaussian features, accurate formulae for the bispectrum and the bispectrum covariance are required. The bispectrum is the…
Testing the independence between random vectors is a fundamental problem in statistics. Distance correlation, a recently popular dependence measure, is universally consistent for testing independence against all distributions with finite…
Measuring the correlation (association) between two random variables is one of the important goals in statistical applications. In the literature, the covariance between two random variables is a widely used criterion in measuring the…
We consider the problem of detecting (testing) Gaussian stochastic sequences (signals) with imprecisely known means and covariance matrices. The alternative is independent identically distributed zero-mean Gaussian random variables with…
We study estimation of an $s$-sparse signal in the $p$-dimensional Gaussian sequence model with equicorrelated observations and derive the minimax rate. A new phenomenon emerges from correlation, namely the rate scales with respect to…
