Let $A$ be a compact $d$-dimensional $C^2$ Riemannian manifold with boundary, embedded in ${\bf R}^m$ where $m \geq d \geq 2$, and let $B$ be a nice subset of $A$ (possibly $B=A$). Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points…

We provide new upper and lower bounds on the minimum possible ratio of the spectral and Frobenius norms of a (partially) symmetric tensor. In the particular case of general tensors our result recovers a known upper bound. For symmetric…

We derive exact expressions for the probabilities that partly random hyperplanes separate two Euclidean balls. The probability that a fully random hyperplane separates two balls turns out to be significantly smaller than the corresponding…

We obtain lower tail estimates for the smallest singular value of random matrices with independent but non-identically distributed entries. Specifically, we consider $n\times n$ matrices with complex entries of the form \[ M = A\circ X + B…

This short note presents upper bounds of the expectations of the largest singular values/eigenvalues of various types of random tensors in the non-asymptotic sense. For a standard Gaussian tensor of size $n_1\times\cdots\times n_d$, it is…

We obtain estimates for the Kolmogorov distance to appropriately chosen gaussians, of linear functions \[ \sum_{i\in [n]^d} \theta_i X_i \] of random tensors $\boldsymbol{X}=\langle X_i:i\in [n]^d\rangle$ which are symmetric and…

Following S\"odergren, we consider a collection of random variables on the space $X_n$ of unimodular lattices in dimension $n$: Normalizations of the angles between the $N = N(n)$ shortest vectors in a random unimodular lattice, and the…

We consider the probability that the random signed sum $\xi_1 v_1 + \dotsb + \xi_n v_n$ lies within a given distance $r$ of the origin, where $v_1,\dotsc,v_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$ are fixed unit vectors and $\xi_1,\dotsc,\xi_n$ are…

The study of high-dimensional distributions is of interest in probability theory, statistics and asymptotic convex geometry, where the object of interest is the uniform distribution on a convex set in high dimensions. The $\ell^p$ spaces…

Consider throwing $n$ balls at random into $m$ urns, each ball landing in urn $i$ with probability $p_i$. Let $S$ be the resulting number of singletons, i.e., urns containing just one ball. We give an error bound for the Kolmogorov distance…

Consider two sequences of $n$ independent and identically distributed fair coin tosses, $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ and $Y=(Y_1,\ldots,Y_n)$, which are $\rho$-correlated for each $j$, i.e. $\mathbb{P}[X_j=Y_j] = {1+\rho\over 2}$. We study the…
