It is well known that given two probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}$ in convex order there exists a discrete-time martingale with these marginals. Several solutions are known (for example from the literature on the Skorokhod…

We study the correlations of pairs of logarithms of positive integers at various scalings, either with trivial weigths or with weights given by the Euler function, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the…

In recent articles it was proved that when $\mu$ is a finite, radial measure in $\real^n$ with a bounded, radially decreasing density, the $L^p(\mu)$ norm of the associated maximal operator $M_\mu$ grows to infinity with the dimension for a…

Let $(A,\m)$ be a strict complete intersection of positive dimension and let $M$ be a maximal \CM \ $A$-module with bounded betti-numbers. We prove that the Hilbert function of $M$ is non-decreasing. We also prove an analogous statement for…

We consider two particles with a local interaction $U$ in a random potential at a scale $L_1$ (the one particle localization length). A simplified description is provided by a Gaussian matrix ensemble with a preferential basis. We define…

One of the most interesting and current phenomenological extensions of General Relativity is the so-called $f (R)$ class of theories; a natural generalization of this includes an explicit non-minimal coupling between matter and curvature.…

We study the stability of entropically regularized optimal transport with respect to the marginals. Lipschitz continuity of the value and H\"older continuity of the optimal coupling in $p$-Wasserstein distance are obtained under general…

We investigate the continuous non-monotone DR-submodular maximization problem subject to a down-closed convex solvable constraint. Our first contribution is to construct an example to demonstrate that (first-order) stationary points can…

According to Noether's theorem the presence of a continuous symmetry in a Hamiltonian systems is equivalent to the existence of a conserved quantity, yet these symmetries are not always explicitly enforced in data-driven models. There…

We investigate mapping properties of non-centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators related to the exponential measure $d\mu(x) = \exp(-|x_1|-\ldots-|x_d|)dx$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The mean values are taken over Euclidean balls or cubes…

Let $T:[0,1]^d \rightarrow[0,1]^d$ be a piecewise expanding map with an absolutely continuous (with respect to the $d$-dimensional Lebesgue measure $m_d$) $T$-invariant probability measure $\mu$. Let $\left\{\mathbf{r}_n\right\}$ be a…

Conservation laws are usually studied in the context of sufficient regularity conditions imposed on the flux function, usually $C^{2}$ and uniform convexity. Some results are proven with the aid of variational methods and a unique minimizer…

We present the results of a quantum Monte Carlo study of the extended $s$ and the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ pairing correlation functions for the two-dimensional Hubbard model, computed with the constrained-path method. For small lattice sizes and weak…

We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…

In classical fixed point and coincidence theory the notion of Nielsen numbers has proved to be extremely fruitful. We extend it to pairs (f_1,f_2) of maps between manifolds of arbitrary dimensions, using nonstabilized normal bordism theory…

Random non-Hermitian Jacobi matrices $J_n$ of increasing dimension $n$ are considered. We prove that the normalized eigenvalue counting measure of $J_n$ converges weakly to a limiting measure $\mu$ as $n\to\infty$. We also extend to the…

Introduced by Kiefer and Wolfowitz \cite{KW56}, the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (NPMLE) is a widely used methodology for learning mixture odels and empirical Bayes estimation. Sidestepping the non-convexity in mixture…

We formulate conjectures regarding the maximum value and maximizing matrices of the permanent and of diagonal products on the set of stochastic matrices with bounded rank. We formulate equivalent conjectures on upper bounds for these…

We consider a Markov chain on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with invariant measure $\mu$. We are interested in the rate of convergence of the empirical measures towards the invariant measure with respect to various dual distances, including in particular…

Given a doubling measure $\mu$ on $R^d$, it is a classical result of harmonic analysis that Calderon-Zygmund operators which are bounded in $L^2(\mu)$ are also of weak type (1,1). Recently it has been shown that the same result holds if one…
