Let $\mu$ be a probability measure (or corresponding random variable) such that all moments $\mu_n$ exist. Knowledge of the moments is not sufficient to determine infinite divisibility of the measure; we show also that infinitely divisible,…
We study the problem of learning mixtures of $k$ Gaussians in $d$ dimensions. We make no separation assumptions on the underlying mixture components: we only require that the covariance matrices have bounded condition number and that the…
How many ways, exactly, can a Chess King, always moving forward (i.e. with steps [1,0],[0,1],[1,1]) walk to [100000,200000]? Thanks to the amazing Apagodu-Zeilberger extension of the Almkvist-Zeilberger algorithm, adapted in this article…

Computing the distribution of permanents of random matrices has been an outstanding open problem for several decades. In quantum computing, "anti-concentration" of this distribution is an unproven input for the proof of hardness of the task…
