For a natural number n, let M(n) denote the maximum exponent of any prime power dividing n, and let m(n) denote the minimum exponent of any prime power dividing n. We study the second moments of these arithmetic functions and establish…

We prove a sharp version of Hal\'asz's theorem on sums $\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)$ of multiplicative functions $f$ with $|f(n)|\le 1$. Our proof avoids the "average of averages" and "integration over $\alpha$" manoeuvres that are present in many…

This article examines the value distribution of $S_{N}(f, \alpha) := \sum_{n=1}^N f(n\alpha)$ for almost every $\alpha$ where $N \in \mathbb{N}$ is ranging over a long interval and $f$ is a $1$-periodic function with discontinuities or…

Consider an nxn random matrix X with i.i.d. nonnegative entries with bounded density, mean m, and finite positive variance sigma^2. Let M be the nxn random Markov matrix with i.i.d. rows obtained from X by dividing each row of X by its sum.…

We extend a central limit theorem, recently established for the Thompson group $F=F_2$ by Krishnan, to the Brown-Thompson groups $F_p$, where $p$ is any integer greater than or equal to $2$. The non-commutative probability space considered…

We obtain a functional central limit theorem (CLT) for sums of the form $\xi_N(t)=\frac1{\sqrt N}\sum_{n=1}^{[Nt]}\big(F(X(q_1(n)),...,X(q_\ell(n)))-\bar F\big)$ where $q_1,...,q_\ell$ are polynomials.

Let $p$ be a prime number, $X$ be an absolutely irreducible affine plane curve over $\mathbb{F}_p$, and $g,f\in\mathbb{F}_p(x,y)$. We study the distribution of the values of the hybrid exponential sums S_n on $n\in\mathcal{I}$ for some…

A finite range interacting particle system on a transitive graph is considered. Assuming that the dynamics and the initial measure are invariant, the normalized empirical distribution process converges in distribution to a centered…

Let $M_n$ be a random matrix of size $n\times n$ and let $\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of $M_n$. The empirical spectral distribution $\mu_{M_n}$ of $M_n$ is defined as $$\mu_{M_n}(s,t)=\frac{1}{n}# \{k\le n, \Re(\lambda_k)\le…

Suppose X is a random vector, that is distributed uniformly in some n-dimensional convex set. It was conjectured that when the dimension n is very large, there exists a non-zero vector u, such that the distribution of the real random…

For the partial sums $(S_n)$ of independent random variables we define a stochastic process $s_n(t):=(1/d_n)\sum_{k \le [nt]} ({S_k}/{k}-\mu)$ and prove that $$(1/{\log N})\sum_{n\le N}(1/n)\mathbf {I}\left\{s_n(t)\le x\right\} \to…

We show that for a random polynomial \[ F(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} f(n) X^{n-1}, \] where $f(n)$ is a random completely multiplicative function taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$, one has \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\big[F(X) \text{ is…
