We derive an optimal shrinkage sample covariance matrix (SCM) estimator which is suitable for high dimensional problems and when sampling from an unspecified elliptically symmetric distribution. Specifically, we derive the optimal (oracle)…

Let $\sigma_i$, $i=1,\ldots,n$, denote positive Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$, let $\mathcal{D}$ denote the usual collection of dyadic cubes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $K:\,\mathcal{D}\to[0,\infty)$ be a~map. In this paper we give…

We present an algorithmic approach to estimate the value distributions of random variables of probabilistic loops whose statistical moments are (partially) known. Based on these moments, we apply two statistical methods, Maximum Entropy and…

The conflation of a finite number of probability distributions P_1,..., P_n is a consolidation of those distributions into a single probability distribution Q=Q(P_1,..., P_n), where intuitively Q is the conditional distribution of…

Let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be independent and identically distributed random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Suppose $\mathbb{E} X_1=0$, $\mathrm{Cov}(X_1)=I_d$, where $I_d$ is the $d\times d$ identity matrix. Suppose further that there exist positive…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, let $\alpha \in E(K)$ be a point of infinite order, and let $N^{-1}\alpha$ be the set of $N$-division points of $\alpha$ in $E(\bar{K})$. We prove strong effective and uniform…

In the "correlated sampling" problem, two players are given probability distributions $P$ and $Q$, respectively, over the same finite set, with access to shared randomness. Without any communication, the two players are each required to…

Let $p, q$ be twin prime numbers with $q-p=2$ . Consider the elliptic curves E=E_\sigma: y^2 = x (x+\sigma p)(x+\sigma q) . (\sigma =\pm 1). E=E_\sigma is also denoted as E_+ or E_- when \sigma = +1or $-1.Here the Mordell-Weil group and the…

We develop the local Morse theory for a class of non-twice continuously differentiable functionals on Hilbert spaces, including a new generalization of the Gromoll-Meyer's splitting theorem and a weaker Marino-Prodi perturbation type…

In this paper, we derive some upper and lower bounds and inequalities for the total variation distance (TVD) and the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD), also known as the relative entropy, between two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$…

It is notorious that quantum mechanics cannot predict well-defined values for all physical quantities. Less well-known, however, is the fact that quantum mechanics is unable to furnish -- without additional assumptions -- probabilistic…

This paper describes the Elliptical Quartic Exponential distribution in $\mathbb{R}^D$, obtained via a maximum entropy construction by imposing second and fourth moment constraints. I discuss relationships to related work, analytical…

Let $P$ be a Borel probability measure on $\mathbb R^2$ supported by the Cantor dusts generated by a set of $4^u,\ u\geq 1$, contractive similarity mappings satisfying the strong separation condition. For this probability measure, we…

For an elliptic curve E/Q without complex multiplication we study the distribution of Atkin and Elkies primes l, on average, over all good reductions of E modulo primes p. We show that, under the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis, for almost…

We introduce elliptic weights of boxed plane partitions and prove that they give rise to a generalization of MacMahon's product formula for the number of plane partitions in a box. We then focus on the most general positive degenerations of…

Given a smooth projective curve C defined over a number field and given two elliptic surfaces E_1/C and E_2/C along with sections P_i and Q_i of E_i (for i = 1,2), we prove that if there exist infinitely many algebraic points t on C such…

In this paper, we begin by reviewing some of the known properties of QQR codes and proved that $PSL_2(p)$ acts on the extended QQR code when $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$. Using this discovery, we then showed their weight polynomials satisfy a…

In the paper, multivariate probability distributions are considered that are representable as scale mixtures of multivariate elliptically contoured stable distributions. It is demonstrated that these distributions form a special subclass of…

Analogously to primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, we can study primes that are totally split in extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of high degree. Motivated by a question of Kowalski we focus on the extensions $\mathbb{Q}(E[d])$…

We study the distribution regression problem assuming the distribution of distributions has a doubling measure larger than one. First, we explore the geometry of any distributions that has doubling measure larger than one and build a small…
