We study the limiting behavior of the $k$-th eigenvalue $x_k$ of unitary invariant ensembles with Freud-type and uniform convex potentials. As both $k$ and $n-k$ tend to infinity, we obtain Gaussian fluctuations for $x_k$ in the bulk and…

In this note, we study the Gaussian fluctuations for the Wishart matrices $d^{-1}\mathcal{X}_{n, d}\mathcal{X}^{T}_{n, d}$, where $\mathcal{X}_{n, d}$ is a $n\times d$ random matrix whose entries are jointly Gaussian and correlated with row…

We consider random walks $X,Y$ on a finite graph $G$ with respective lazinesses $\alpha, \beta \in [0,1]$. Let $\mu_k$ and $\nu_k$ be the $k$-step transition probability measures of $X$ and $Y$. In this paper, we study the Wasserstein…

We study the finite field extension estimates for Hamming varieties $H_j, j\in \mathbb F_q^*,$ defined by $H_j=\{x\in \mathbb F_q^d: \prod_{k=1}^d x_k=j\},$ where $\mathbb F_q^d$ denotes the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field…

We obtain rates of convergence in limit theorems of partial sums $S_n$ for certain sequences of dependent, identically distributed random variables, which arise naturally in statistical mechanics, in particular, in the context of the…

Variance-Gamma distributions are widely used in financial modelling and contain as special cases the normal, Gamma and Laplace distributions. In this paper we extend Stein's method to this class of distributions. In particular, we obtain a…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of any random statistically self-affine Sierpinski sponge $K\subset \mathbb{R}^k$ ($k\ge 2$) obtained by using some percolation process in $[0,1]^k$. To do so, we first exhibit a Ledrappier-Young type…
