Chiral anomaly or Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) has a significant impact on the electron transport behaviors, leading to remarkable longitudinal or planar electrical and thermoelectric transport phenomena in the…

The bivariate normal density with unit variance and correlation $\rho$ is well-known. We show that by integrating out $\rho$, the result is a function of the maximum norm. The Bayesian interpretation of this result is that if we put a…

We deal with the equation $Y \stackrel{\rm d}{=} \frac{1}{b} \sum_{1\le j\le N} W_jY_j$, where the unknown is the distribution of $Y$, the variables in the right hand side are independent, the $Y_j$ are equidistributed with $Y$, $N$ is an…

The role of the contribution from the fermion mass term in the axial vector Ward identity in generating the U(1) axial anomaly, both local and global, is elucidated. Gauge invariance requires the fermion to decouple from the gauge field if…

We investigate the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear equation with transport rough input of the form $\mathrm{d} u-\partial_i(a^{ij}(u)\partial_j u)\mathrm{d} t =\mathrm{d} \mathbf{X}_t^i(x)\partial_i u_t,$ $u_0\in L^2$ on the torus $\mathbb…

We show central limit theorems (CLT) for the Stieltjes transforms or more general analytic functions of symmetric matrices with independent heavy tailed entries, including entries in the domain of attraction of $\alpha$-stable laws and…

Let $\bX=\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ and $\bY=\{Y_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ be two independent random sequences. We obtain rates of convergence to the normal law of randomly weighted self-normalized sums $$ \psi_n(\bX,\bY)=\sum_{i=1}^nX_iY_i/V_n,\quad…

We apply the method of determinants to study the distribution of the largest singular values of large $ m \times n $ real rectangular random matrices with independent Cauchy entries. We show that statistical properties of the (rescaled by a…

We introduce a class of probability measures whose densities near infinity are mixtures of Pareto distributions. This class can be characterized by the Fourier transform which has a power series expansion including real powers, not only…

We prove the first explicit rate of convergence to the Tracy-Widom distribution for the fluctuation of the largest eigenvalue of sample covariance matrices that are not integrable. Our primary focus is matrices of type $ X^*X $ and the…

We prove a dimension-free tail comparison between the Euclidean norms of sums of independent random vectors uniformly distributed in centred Euclidean spheres and properly rescaled standard Gaussian random vectors.

Kwapien and Woyczynski asked in their monograph (1992) whether their notion of superstrong domination is inherited when taking sums of independent symmetric random vectors (one vector dominates another if, essentially, tail probabilities of…

Let $X_n(k)$ be the number of vertices at level $k$ in a random recursive tree with $n+1$ vertices. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of $X_n(k)$ for intermediate levels $k=k_n$ satisfying $k_n\to\infty$ and $k_n=o(\log n)$ as…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional random centered Gaussian vector with independent but not identically distributed coordinates and let $T$ be an orthogonal trasformation of $\mathbb R^n$. We show that the random vector $Y=T(X)$ satisfies…

We review and derive transformation and summation formulas for bilateral basic hypergeometric series. Our study focuses on consequences of certain bilateral extensions of two important results by Bailey, namely a transformation for…

In this paper, we compare two variances of maxima of $N$ standard Gaussian random variables. One is a sequence of $N$ i.i.d. standard Gaussians, and the other one is $N$ standard Gaussians with covariances $\sigma_{1,2}=\rho \in(0,1)$ and…

Isotropic $\alpha$-stable distributions are central in the theory of heavy-tailed distributions and play a role similar to that of the Gaussian density among finite second-moment laws. Given a sequence of $n$ observations, we are interested…

We will show that the sequences appearing in Bourgain's double recurrence result are good universal weights to the multiple recurrence averages with commuting measure-preserving transformations in norm. This will extend the pointwise…

It is classical to approximate the distribution of fractional Brownian motion by a renormalized sum $ S_n $ of dependent Gaussian random variables. In this paper we consider such a walk $ Z_n $ that collects random rewards $ \xi_j $ for $ j…

Count data often exhibit overdispersion driven by heavy tails or excess zeros, making standard models (e.g., Poisson, negative binomial) insufficient for handling outlying observations. We propose a novel contaminated discrete Weibull (cDW)…
