In this paper we study the exponential decay of posterior probability of a set of sources and conditioning by rare sources for both uniform and general prior distributions of sources. The decay rate is determined by $L$-divergence and rare…

This paper investigates weak convergence of U-statistics via approximation in probability. The classical condition that the second moment of the kernel of the underlying U-statistic exists is relaxed to having 4/3 moments only (modulo a…

This paper characterizes the maximum mean discrepancies (MMD) that metrize the weak convergence of probability measures for a wide class of kernels. More precisely, we prove that, on a locally compact, non-compact, Hausdorff space, the MMD…

We investigate the weak invariance principle in H{\"o}lder spaces under some reinforcement of the Maxwell and Woodroofe condition.

We provide sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of an invariant measure of a Markov process as well as for the weak convergence of transition probabilities to the invariant measure. Our conditions are formulated in terms of generalized…

We provide a systematic approach to deal with the following problem. Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be, possibly dependent, $[0,1]$-valued random variables. What is a sharp upper bound on the probability that their sum is significantly larger than…

We study porous medium equations with a divergence form of drift terms in a bounded domain with no-flux lateral boundary conditions. We establish $L^q$-weak solutions for $ 1\leq q < \infty$ in Wasserstein space under appropriate conditions…

In this paper we give a first attempt to define and study stable distributions with respect to the weak generalized convolution, focusing our attention on the symmetric weakly stable distribution. As in the case of the classical…

We study the weak equivalence principle in the context of modified dispersion relations, a prevalent approach to quantum gravity phenomenology. We find that generic modified dispersion relations violate the weak equivalence principle. The…

We consider sequences of random variables living in a finite sum of Wiener chaoses. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in law to a target variable living in the sum of the first two Wiener chaoses. Our conditions…

We study the weak convergence of iterates of so-called centred kernel quadratic stochastic operators. These iterations, in a population evolution setting, describe the additive perturbation of the arithmetic mean of the traits of an…

Let $\{X,X_n,n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of identically distributed, negatively dependent (NA) random variables under sub-linear expectations, and denote $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_i$, $n\ge 1$. Assume that $h(\cdot)$ is a positive non-decreasing…

We consider stochastic partial differential equations under minimal assumptions: the coefficients are merely bounded and measurable and satisfy the stochastic parabolicity condition. In particular, the diffusion term is allowed to be…

We study pointwise convergence properties of weakly* converging sequences $\{u_i\}_{i \in {\mathbb N}}$ in $\mathrm{BV}({\mathbb R}^n)$. We show that, after passage to a suitable subsequence (not relabeled), we have pointwise convergence…

Quantum nonlocality offers a secure way to produce random numbers: their unpredictability is intrinsic and can be certified just by observing the statistic of the measurement outcomes, without assumptions on how they are produced. To do…

A measurement consists in coupling a system to a probe and reading the output of the probe to gather information about the system. The weaker the coupling, the smaller the back-action on the system, but also the less information conveyed.…

In this paper, we study the existence of the random approximations and fixed points for random almost lower semicontinuous operators defined on finite dimensional Banach spaces, which in addition, are condensing or 1-set-contractive. Our…

We study the continuity and the measurability of the solution to Schr\"odinger's functional equation, with respect to space, kernel and marginals, provided the space of all Borel probability measures is endowed with the weak topology. This…
