We consider a sequence of i.i.d. random variables $\{\xi_k\}$under a sublinear expectation $\mathbb{E}=\sup_{P\in\Theta}E_P$. We first give a new proof to the fact that, under each $P\in\Theta$, any cluster point of the empirical averages…

A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ exhibits Poissonian pair correlation if for all $s\geq0$, \begin{equation*} \lim_{N\to\infty} \frac{1}{N}\#\left\{1\leq m\neq n \leq N : |x_m-x_n| \leq \frac{s}{N}\right\} = 2s.…

We consider correlated random variables $X_1,\dots,X_n$ taking values in $\{0,1\}$ such that, for any permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, the random vectors $(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ and $(X_{\pi(1)},\dots,X_{\pi(n)})$ have the same distribution.…

We study percolation on the hierarchical lattice of order $N$ where the probability of connection between two points separated by distance $k$ is of the form $c_k/N^{k(1+\delta)},\; \delta >-1$. Since the distance is an ultrametric, there…

Consider a scenario where $N$ separated quantum systems are measured, each with one among two possible dichotomic observables. Assume that the $N$ events corresponding to the choice and performance of the measurement in each site are…

We have developed a heuristic showing that in the Dirichlet divisor problem for the almost all $n \in \mathbb{N}^{+}$: $$ R(n) \leq O(\psi(n)n^{\frac{1}{4}}) $$ where $$ R(n) = \Big\lvert \sum_{x=1}^{n}\Big\lfloor\frac{n}{x}\Big\rfloor -…

We analyze the joint extremal behavior of $n$ random products of the form $\prod_{j=1}^m X_j^{a_{ij}}, 1 \leq i \leq n,$ for non-negative, independent regularly varying random variables $X_1, \ldots, X_m$ and general coefficients $a_{ij}…

We prove an explicit finite-sample version of the Borel--Cantelli lemma under $m$-dependence. Given any $m$-dependent sequence of events $(A_k)_{1\leq k\leq N}$, we show that \[ \mathbb{P}\Bigl(\bigcup_{k=1}^N A_k\Bigr) \ge 1 -…

Let $X_1, \ldots , X_n$ be mutually independent exponential random variables with distinct hazard rates $\lambda_1, \ldots , \lambda_n > 0$ and let $Y_1, \ldots, Y_n$ be a random sample from the exponential distribution with hazard rate…

We show that correlation functions have to satisfy contraint relations, owing to the non-negativity of the power spectrum of the underlying random process. Specifically, for any statistically homogeneous and (for more than one spatial…

We develop a new method that enables us to solve the open problem of characterizing discrete inequalities for kernel operators involving suprema. More precisely, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which there exists a…

We study the real eigenvalue statistics of products of independent real Ginibre random matrices. These are matrices all of whose entries are real i.i.d. standard Gaussian random variables. For such product ensembles, we demonstrate the…

In the present paper we study the asymptotic behavior of trigonometric products of the form $\prod_{k=1}^N 2 \sin(\pi x_k)$ for $N \to \infty$, where the numbers $\omega=(x_k)_{k=1}^N$ are evenly distributed in the unit interval $[0,1]$.…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two standard normal random vectors $\mathsf{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\mathsf{Y}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ are correlated or not. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem,…

The likelihood model of high dimensional data $X_n$ can often be expressed as $p(X_n|Z_n,\theta)$, where $\theta\mathrel{\mathop:}=(\theta_k)_{k\in[K]}$ is a collection of hidden features shared across objects, indexed by $n$, and $Z_n$ is…

Given random variables $X$ and $Y$ having finite moments of all orders, their uncorrelatedness set is defined as the set of all pairs $(j,k)\in{\mathbb N}^2,$ for which $X^j$ and $Y^k$ are uncorrelated. It is known that, broadly put, any…

Let $K$ be a centrally symmetric spherical and simplicial polytope, whose vertices form a $\frac{1}{4n}-$net in the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove a uniform lower bound on the norms of all hyperplane projections $P: X \to X$, where…

We say that a sequence $\{x_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left\{ 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N \, : \, \left\lVert x_l-x_m \right\rVert < \frac{s}{N}…

The hypercontractive inequality on the discrete cube plays a crucial role in many fundamental results in the Analysis of Boolean functions, such as the KKL theorem, Friedgut's junta theorem and the invariance principle. In these results the…

In this paper we provide a new geometric characterization of the Hirschfeld-Gebelein-R\'{e}nyi maximal correlation of a pair of random $(X,Y)$, as well as of the chordal slope of the nontrivial boundary of the hypercontractivity ribbon of…
