We consider Glauber dynamics of classical spin systems of Ising type in the limit when the temperature tends to zero in finite volume. We show that information on the structure of the most profound minima and the connecting saddle points of…
In this paper, we investigate ergodic and fractal properties of the sets $$\Lambda_y:=\Big\{n\in\mathbb{N}:\ \{u_ny\}\in I_n\Big\},$$ where $\{\cdot\}$ denotes the fractional part function, $(u_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is an increasing sequence…
The periodic DNLS gauge is an anticipative map with singular generator which revealed crucial in the study of the periodic derivative NLS. We prove quasi-invariance of the Gaussian measure on $L^2(\T)$ with covariance $[1+(-\D)^{s}]^{-1}$…
I present an asymptotic formula for the Takeuchi numbers $T_n$. In particular, I give compelling numerical evidence and present a heuristic argument showing that $$T_n\sim C_T B_n\exp{1\over2}{W(n)}^2$$as $n$ tends to infinity, where $B_n$…
In the line of classical work by Hardy, Littlewood and Wilton, we study a class of functional equations involving the Gauss transformation from the theory of continued fractions. This allows us to reprove, among others, a convergence…
We study the asymptotic tail behaviour of the first-passage time over a moving boundary for asymptotically $\alpha$-stable L\'evy processes with $\alpha<1$. Our main result states that if the left tail of the L\'evy measure is regularly…
For real symmetric positive definite matrices $A$ and $B$, we characterize when a function $f \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ satisfies \[ |f(x)| \lesssim e^{-(\frac12 - \lambda) \langle Ax, x\rangle} \quad \text{and} \quad |\widehat{f}(\xi)|…
This paper addresses the statistical problem of estimating the infinite-norm deviation from the empirical mean to the distribution mean for high-dimensional distributions on $\{0,1\}^d$, potentially with $d=\infty$. Unlike traditional…
This article consists of two connected parts. In the first part, we study the shift invariant subspaces in certain $\mathcal{P}^2(\mu)$-spaces, which are the closures of analytic polynomials in the Lebesgue spaces $\mathcal{L}^2(\mu)$…
In this paper, we study the problem of interpolating a continuous function at $(n+1)$ equally-spaced points in the interval $[0,1]$, using shifts of a kernel on the $(1/n)$-spaced infinite grid. The archetypal example here is approximation…
A continuum limit of the non-Hermitian spin-1/2 chain, conjectured recently to belong to the universality class of the noisy Burgers or, equivalently, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, is obtained and analyzed. The Galilean invariance of the…
Long memory processes driven by L\'evy noise with finite second-order moments have been well studied in the literature. They form a very rich class of processes presenting an autocovariance function which decays like a power function. Here,…
Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that for all sufficiently large integers $N$, the (non-trivial) convolution sum bound $$ \left|\sum_{1 \leq n < N} \lambda(n) \lambda(N-n)\right| < N-1 $$ holds. This (essentially)…
In recent papers it has been demonstrated that sampling a Gibbs distribution from an appropriate time-irreversible Langevin process is, from several points of view, advantageous when compared to sampling from a time-reversible one. Adding…
Let $K_n$ be the convex hull of i.i.d. random variables distributed according to the standard normal distribution on $\R^d$. We establish variance asymptotics as $n \to \infty$ for the re-scaled intrinsic volumes and $k$-face functionals of…
In the late eighties, Hildebrand and Tenenbaum proved an asymptotic formula for the number of positive integers below $x$, having exactly $\nu$ distinct prime divisors: $\pi_{\nu}(x) \sim x \delta_{\nu}(x)$. Here we consider the restricted…
This paper considers a continuous time analogue of the classical autoregressive moving average processes, L\'evy-driven CARMA processes. First we describe limiting properties of the periodogram by means of the so-called truncated Fourier…
This paper concerns singular perturbation problems where the dynamics of the fast variable evolve in the whole space according to an operator whose infinitesimal generator is formed by a Grushin type second order part and a…
Let $\tau$ denote the divisor function, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies some mild hypotheses. We establish the asymptotic formula or non-trivial upper bound for the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \leq…
We prove an asymptotic formula for a special case of the Gauss hypergeometric function which arises in explicit formulas for moments of Maass form symmetric square L-functions. The resulting formula is uniform in several variables, which is…
