A Markov network characterizes the conditional independence structure, or Markov property, among a set of random variables. Existing work focuses on specific families of distributions (e.g., exponential families) and/or certain structures…

Let M be a noncompact metric space in which every closed ball is compact, and let G be a semigroup of Lipschitz mappings of M. Denote by (Y_n)_{n\geq1} a sequence of independent G-valued, identically distributed random variables (r.v.'s),…

We investigate the fluctuations of linear spectral statistics of a Wigner matrix $W\_N$ deformed by a deterministic diagonal perturbation $D\_N$, around a deterministic equivalent which can be expressed in terms of the free convolution…

An explicit sufficient condition on the hypercontractivity is derived for the Markov semigroup associated to a class of functional stochastic differential equations. Consequently, the semigroup $P_t$ converges exponentially to its unique…

In this paper, we study the conjecture of Gardner and Zvavitch from \cite{GZ}, which suggests that the standard Gaussian measure $\gamma$ enjoys $\frac{1}{n}$-concavity with respect to the Minkowski addition of \textbf{symmetric} convex…

Split-Plot or Repeated Measures Designs with multiple groups occur naturally in sciences. Their analysis is usually based on the classical Repeated Measures ANOVA. Roughly speaking, the latter can be shown to be asymptotically valid for…

This work extends Favard-type spectral representations for banded matrices $T$ beyond the bounded setting. It assumes that, for every $N\in\mathbb N_0$, there exists a shift $s_N\ge 0$ such that the shifted truncation $A_N:= T^{[N]}+s_N…

We prove a deterministic analogue of Rudelson's sampling theorem for sums of positive semidefinite matrices. Let $A_1,\dots,A_m$ be positive semidefinite \(d\times d\) matrices, and let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \ge 0$ satisfy \[…

Consider additive functionals of a Markov chain $W_k$, with stationary (marginal) distribution and transition function denoted by $\pi$ and $Q$, say $S_n=g(W_1)+...+g(W_n)$, where $g$ is square integrable and has mean 0 with respect to…

We show that the Mallows measure on permutations of $1,\ldots,n$ arises as the law of the unique Gale-Shapley stable matching of the random bipartite graph conditioned to be perfect, where preferences arise from a total ordering of the…

An error in the proof of Lemma 2 (ii) in [I. Werner, Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 140(2) 333-347 (2006)], which claims the absolute continuity of dynamically defined measures (DDM), is identified. This undermines the assertion of the…

Let a sequence of iid. random variables $\xi_1,...,\xi_n$ be given on a measurable space $(X,\cal X)$ with distribution $\mu$ together with a function $f(x_1,...,x_k)$ on the product space $(X^k,{\cal X}^k)$. Let $\mu_n$ denote the…

We consider a generic class of log-concave, possibly random, (Gibbs) measures. We prove the concentration of an infinite family of order parameters called multioverlaps. Because they completely parametrise the quenched Gibbs measure of the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group equipped with a symmetric generating $% k $-tuple $S$. Let $|\cdot|$ and $V$ be the associated word length and volume growth function. Let $\nu$ be a probability measure such that $% \nu(g)\simeq…

Let $T$ be the Student one- or two-sample $t$-, $F$-, or Welch statistic. Now release the underlying assumptions of normality, independence and identical distribution and consider a more general case where one only assumes that the vector…

Let $ r, s>0 $. For a given probability measure $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, let $(\alpha_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of (asymptotically) $L^r(P)$- optimal quantizers. For all $\mu \in \mathbb{R}^d $ and for every $\theta >0$, one defines the…

We find sufficient conditions for a probability measure $\mu$ to satisfy an inequality of the type $$ \int_{\R^d} f^2 F\Bigl(\frac{f^2}{\int_{\R^d} f^2 d \mu} \Bigr) d \mu \le C \int_{\R^d} f^2 c^{*}\Bigl(\frac{|\nabla f|}{|f|} \Bigr) d \mu…

We propose a "decomposition method" to prove non-asymptotic bound for the convergence of empirical measures in various dual norms. The main point is to show that if one measures convergence in duality with sufficiently regular observables,…
