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…

We study various generalizations of concentration of measure on the unit sphere, in particular by means of log-Sobolev inequalities. First, we show Sudakov-type concentration results and local semicircular laws for weighted random matrices.…

We initiate a program of average smoothness analysis for efficiently learning real-valued functions on metric spaces. Rather than using the Lipschitz constant as the regularizer, we define a local slope at each point and gauge the function…

We obtain concentration and large deviation for the sums of independent and identically distributed random variables with heavy-tailed distributions. Our concentration results are concerned with random variables whose distributions satisfy…

The addition of noise has a regularizing effect on Hermitian matrices. This effect is studied here for $H=A+V$, where $A$ is the base matrix and $V$ is sampled from the GOE or the GUE random matrix ensembles. We bound the mean number of…

Belinschi et al. [Adv. Math., 226 (2011), 3677--3698] proved that the normal distribution is freely infinitely divisible. This paper establishes a certain monotonicity, real analyticity and asymptotic behavior of the density of the free…

We introduce a new technique to prove bounds for the spectral radius of a random matrix, based on using Jensen's formula to establish the zerofreeness of the associated characteristic polynomial in a region of the complex plane. Our…
