We derive a class of divergences measuring the difference between probability density functions on the one-dimensional sample space. This divergence is a one-parameter variation of the Itakura--Saito divergence between quantile density…

Let $\Gamma = Z A +Z^n$ be a dense subgroup with rank $n+1$ in $R^n$ and let $\omega(A)$ denote the exponent of uniform simultaneous rational approximation to the point $A$. We show that for any real number $v\ge \omega(A)$, the Hausdorff…

We show that for any $\epsilon<1$ and any $\mathcal{T}$ `drifting away from walls', Dirichlet's Theorem cannot be $\epsilon$-improved along $\mathcal{T}$ for Lebesgue almost every system of linear forms $Y$ (see the paper for definitions).…

This paper introduces the $(\alpha, \Gamma)$-descent, an iterative algorithm which operates on measures and performs $\alpha$-divergence minimisation in a Bayesian framework. This gradient-based procedure extends the commonly-used…

In Diophantine approximation, inhomogeneous problems are linked with homogeneous ones by means of the so-called Transference Theorems. We revisit this classical topic by introducing new exponents of Diophantine approximation. We prove that…

We refine a result of the last two Authors of [8] on a Diophantine approximation problem with two primes and a $k$-th power of a prime which was only proved to hold for $1<k<4/3$. We improve the $k$-range to $1<k\le 3$ by combining Harman's…

We investigate the number of integer solutions to a multiplicative Diophantine approximation problem and show that the associated counting function converges in distribution to a normal law. Our approach relies on the analysis of…

The classical Khintchine and Jarn\'ik theorems, generalizations of a consequence of Dirichlet's theorem, are fundamental results in the theory of Diophantine approximation. These theorems are concerned with the size of the set of real…

A paradigm for a global algebraic number theory of the reals is formulated with the purpose of providing a unified setting for algebraic and transcendental number theory. This is achieved through the study of subgroups of nonstandard models…

This paper deals with the reconstruction of a discrete measure $\gamma_Z$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ from the knowledge of its pushforward measures $P_i\#\gamma_Z$ by linear applications $P_i: \mathbb{R}^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{d_i}$ (for instance…

The goal of this expository article is a fairly self-contained account of some averaging processes of functions along sequences of the form $(\alpha^n x)^{}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\alpha$ is a fixed real number with $| \alpha | > 1$ and…

The squared Wasserstein distance is a natural quantity to compare probability distributions in a non-parametric setting. This quantity is usually estimated with the plug-in estimator, defined via a discrete optimal transport problem which…

We establish a strong form of Littlewood's conjecture with inhomogeneous shifts, for a full-dimensional set of pairs of badly approximable numbers on a vertical line. We also prove a uniform assertion of this nature, generalising a strong…

We show the existence of ``good'' approximations to a real number $\gamma$ using rationals with denominators formed by digits $0$ and $1$ in base $b$. We derive an elementary estimate and enhance this result by managing exponential sums.

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…
