The Mikami-Weinstein theorem is a generalization of the classical Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer symplectic reduction theorem to the case of symplectic groupoid actions. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a cosymplectic groupoid action on a…
In this article, we prove that if the Fourier transform of a certain integrable function on the Euclidean motion group is of finite rank, then the function has to vanish identically. Further, we explore a new variance of the uncertainty…
The article provides an explicit algebraic expression for the generating function of walks on graphs. Its proof is based on the scattering theory for the differential Laplace operator on non-compact graphs.
We give a "direct" coupling proof of strict monotonicity of the speed for 1-dimensional multi-excited random walks with positive speed. This reproves (and extends) a recent result of Peterson without using branching processes.
We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
A recent paper of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb uses topology and representation theory of the symmetric group to prove enumerative results about square-free polynomials and F-stable maximal tori of the general linear group over the algebraic…
We study the random walk on the symmetric group $S_n$ generated by the conjugacy class of cycles of length $k$. We show that the convergence to uniform measure of this walk has a cut-off in total variation distance after $\frac{n}{k} log n$…
The symmetric group acts on polynomial differential forms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ through its action by permuting the coordinates. In this paper the $S_{n}% $-invariants are shown to be freely generated by the elementary symmetric polynomials…
Let G be a free product of a finite family of finite groups, with the set of generators being formed by the union of the finite groups. We consider a transient nearest-neighbour random walk on G. We give a new proof of the fact that the…
The goal of this paper is to analyse the asymptotic behavior of the cycle process and the total number of cycles of weighted and generalized weighted random permutations which are relevant models in physics and which extend the Ewens…
We prove a conjecture of Cuttler et al.~[2011] [A. Cuttler, C. Greene, and M. Skandera; \emph{Inequalities for symmetric means}. European J. Combinatorics, 32(2011), 745--761] on the monotonicity of \emph{normalized Schur functions} under…
We show that almost any one-dimensional projection of a suitably scaled random walk on a hypercube, inscribed in a hypersphere, converges weakly to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as the dimension of the sphere tends to infinity. We also…
We show the invalidity of finitary counterparts for three classification theorems: The preservation of being a Bernoulli shift through factors, Sinai's factor theorem, and the weak Pinsker property. We construct a finitary factor of an…
We prove a conjecture raised by the work of Diaconis and Shahshahani (1981) about the mixing time of random walks on the permutation group induced by a given conjugacy class. To do this we exploit a connection with coalescence and…
The Quantum Ergodic Conjecture equates the Wigner function for a typical eigenstate of a classically chaotic Hamiltonian with a delta-function on the energy shell. This ensures the evaluation of classical ergodic expectations of simple…
We discuss the problem of construction of inference procedures which can manipulate with uncertainties measured in ordinal scales and fulfill to the property of strict monotonicity of conclusion. The class of A-valuations of plausibility is…
In this paper we show that the natural action of the symmetric group acting on the product space $\{0, 1 \}^{\mathbb{N}} $ endowed with a symmetric measure is approximately transitive. We also extend the result to a larger class of…
The rate of convergence of simple random walk on the Heisenberg group over $Z/nZ$ with a standard generating set was determined by Bump et al [1,2]. We extend this result to random walks on the same groups with an arbitrary minimal…
Two-dimensional (random) walks in cones are very natural both in combinatorics and probability theory: they are interesting for themselves and also because they are strongly related to other discrete structures. While walks restricted to…
