Let $H=-\Delta+V$, where $V$ is a real valued potential on $\R^2$ satisfying $|V(x)|\les \la x\ra^{-3-}$. We prove that if zero is a regular point of the spectrum of $H=-\Delta+V$, then $$ \|w^{-1} e^{itH}P_{ac}f\|_{L^\infty(\R^2)}\les…

By the Lindeberg-L\'evy central limit theorem, standardized partial sums of a sequence of mutually independent and identically distributed random variables converge in law to the standard normal distribution. It is known that mutual…

We present novel bounds for estimating discrete probability distributions under the $\ell_\infty$ norm. These are nearly optimal in various precise senses, including a kind of instance-optimality. Our data-dependent convergence guarantees…

We prove that every bounded function $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to[-1,1]$ of degree at most $d$ can be learned with $L_2$-accuracy $\varepsilon$ and confidence $1-\delta$ from $\log(\tfrac{n}{\delta})\,\varepsilon^{-d-1} C^{d^{3/2}\sqrt{\log d}}$ random…

The Glivenko-Cantelli theorem states that the empirical distribution function converges uniformly almost surely to the theoretical distribution for a random variable $X \in \mathbb{R}$. This is an important result because it establishes the…

The $L^k$-Wasserstein distance $\mathbb{W}_k (k\ge 1)$ and the probability distance $\mathbb{W}_\psi$ induced by a concave function $\psi$, are estimated between different diffusion processes with singular coefficients. As applications, the…

We describe a curious dynamical system that results in sequences of real numbers in $[0,1]$ with seemingly remarkable properties. Let the function $f:\mathbb{T} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfy $\hat{f}(k) \geq c|k|^{-2}$ and define a…

We provide (for both the real and complex settings) a family of constants, $% (C_{m})_{m\in \mathbb{N}}$, enjoying the Bohnenblust--Hille inequality and such that $\displaystyle\lim_{m\rightarrow \infty}\frac{C_{m}}{C_{m-1}}=1$, i.e., their…

Let $M$ denote the centered Hardy--Littlewood operator on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that \[ {\rm Var} (Mf)\le {\rm Var} (f) - \frac12\big| |f(\infty)|-|f(-\infty)|\big| \] for piecewise constant functions $f$ with nonzero and zero values…

We present the first efficient averaging sampler that achieves asymptotically optimal randomness complexity and near-optimal sample complexity. For any $\delta < \varepsilon$ and any constant $\alpha > 0$, our sampler uses $m + O(\log (1 /…

It is shown that $\sum_{j=-m}^m (-1)^j \frac{f(x-j)(f(x+j)}{(m-j)! (m+j)!} \ge 0,$ $m=0,1,...,$ where $f(x)$ is either a real polynomial with only real zeros or an allied entire function of a special type, provided the distance between two…

Given a Boolean function $f:\{-1,1\}^n\to \{-1,1\}$, the Fourier distribution assigns probability $\widehat{f}(S)^2$ to $S\subseteq [n]$. The Fourier Entropy-Influence (FEI) conjecture of Friedgut and Kalai asks if there exist a universal…

We give a new explicitly invertible approximation of the normal cumulative distribution function: $\Phi(x) \simeq 1/2 + 1/2 \sqrt{1-{e}^{-x^2\frac{17+{x}^{2}}{26.694+2x^2}}}$, $\forall x \ge 0$, with absolute error $<4.00\cdot 10^{-5}$,…

Let $(M,g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$, and $k\geq 1$ an integer such that $n>2k$. We show that there exists $B_0>0$ such that for all $u \in H^{k}(M)$, \[\|u\|_{L^{2^\sharp}(M)}^2 \leq K_0^2 \int_M |\Delta_g^{k/2}…

We study a prototypical problem in empirical Bayes. Namely, consider a population consisting of $k$ individuals each belonging to one of $k$ types (some types can be empty). Without any structural restrictions, it is impossible to learn the…

We show that there is a positive constant $\delta < 1$ such that the probability of satisfying either the $2$-Engel identity $[X_1, X_2, X_2] = 1$ or the metabelian identity $[[X_1, X_2], [X_3, X_4]] = 1$ in a finite group is either $1$ or…
