We study vectors chosen at random from a compact convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by a finite number of linear constraints. We determine which projections of these random vectors are asymptotically normal as $n\to\infty$. Marginal…

For a given set of integers $\mathcal{S}$, let $\mathcal{R}_n^*(\mathcal{S})$ denote the set of reducible polynomials $f(X)=a_nX^n+a_{n-1}X^{n-1}+\cdots+a_1X+a_0$ over $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ with $a_i\in\mathcal{S}$ and $a_0a_n\ne 0$. In this…
In this work, we continue the line of research on the complexity of distributions (Viola, Journal of Computing 2012), and study samplers defined by low degree polynomials. An $n$-tuple $P = (P_1,\dots, P_n)$ of functions $P_i \colon…
We consider the Grenander estimator that is the maximum likelihood estimator for non-increasing densities. We prove uniform central limit theorems for certain subclasses of bounded variation functions and for H\"older balls of smoothness…
We provide a sufficient characterization for subsets $\mathcal{A}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ for which partial sums of Steinhaus random multiplicative functions approach a complex standard normal distribution. This extends…

We study properties of arithmetic sets coming from multiplicative number theory and obtain applications in the theory of uniform distribution and ergodic theory. Our main theorem is a generalization of K\'atai's orthogonality criterion.…
Assume that $m,s\in\mathbb N$, $m>1$, while $f$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients, $\text{deg}~f>1$, $f^{(i)}$ is the $i$th iteration of the polynomial $f$, $\kappa_n$ has a discrete uniform distribution on the set $\{0,1,\ldots,m^n…
Let $X,X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be independent identically distributed random variables. The paper deals with the question about the behavior of the concentration function of the random variable $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}X_k a_k$ according to the…
Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points in a bounded domain $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with smooth boundary. Define the coverage threshold $R_n$ to be the smallest $r$ such that $A$ is covered by the balls of radius $r$…
Suppose that $\m{U} = (U_1, \ldots , U_d) $ has a Uniform$([0,1]^d)$ distribution, that $\m{Y} = (Y_1 , \ldots , Y_d) $ has the distribution $G$ on $\RR_+^d$, and let $\m{X} = (X_1 , \ldots , X_d) = (U_1 Y_1 , \ldots , U_d Y_d )$. The…
Let $f: \mathbb{N}^2 \mapsto \mathbb{C}$ be an arithmetic function of two variables. We study the existence of the limit: \[\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x^2 (\log x)^{k-1}} \sum_{n_1 , n_2 \le x} f (n_1, n_2) \] where $k$ is a…
We study the extent to which divisors of a typical integer $n$ are concentrated. In particular, defining the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function by $\Delta(n) := \max_t \# \{d | n, \log d \in [t,t+1]\}$, we show that $\Delta(n) \geq (\log…
Let $\mathbb F=\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$ and $n\in\b N$. Let $(S_k)_{k\ge0}$ be a time-homogeneous random walk on $GL_n(\b F)$ associated with an $U_n(\b F)$-biinvariant measure $\nu\in M^1(GL_n(\b F))$. We derive a central limit theorem…
The distribution of the sum of independent identically distributed uniform random variables is well-known. However, it is sometimes necessary to analyze data which have been drawn from different uniform distributions. By inverting the…
Kiefer and Wolfowitz [Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 34 (1976) 73--85] showed that if $F$ is a strictly curved concave distribution function (corresponding to a strictly monotone density $f$), then the Maximum Likelihood Estimator $\hat{F}_n$,…
In this article we prove a general theorem which establishes the existence of limiting distributions for a wide class of error terms from prime number theory. As a corollary to our main theorem, we deduce previous results of Wintner (1935),…
Given $n$ independent random marked $d$-vectors $X_i$ with a common density, define the measure $\nu_n = \sum_i \xi_i $, where $\xi_i$ is a measure (not necessarily a point measure) determined by the (suitably rescaled) set of points near…
The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the uniform distribution or a computable distribution. These…
