A combinatorial proof of the Gaussian product inequality (GPI) is given under the assumption that each component of a centered Gaussian random vector $\boldsymbol{X} = (X_1, \ldots, X_d)$ of arbitrary length can be written as a linear…

Gaussian Quadrature is a well known technique for numerical integration. Recently Gaussian quadrature with respect to discrete measures corresponding to finite sums have found some new interest. In this paper we apply these ideas to…

Let $X$ be an integrable real random variable with mean zero and two-sided sub-Gaussian tail $\mathbb{P}(|X|>t)\le 2e^{-t^{2}/2}$ for all $t\ge 0$. We determine the smallest constant $c_\star$ such that $X$ is dominated in convex order by…

In the context of mod-Gaussian convergence, as defined previously in our work with J. Jacod, we obtain lower bounds for local probabilities for a sequence of random vectors which are approximately Gaussian with increasing covariance. This…

We prove that quadratic forms in isotropic random vectors $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, possessing the convex concentration property with constant $K$, satisfy the Hanson-Wright inequality with constant $CK$, where $C$ is an absolute constant,…

We show, assuming the consistency of one measurable cardinal, that it is consistent for there to be exactly kappa+ many normal measures on the least measurable cardinal kappa. This answers a question of Stewart Baldwin. The methods…

In this short note we prove a maximal concentration lemma for sub-Gaussian random variables stating that for independent sub-Gaussian random variables we have \[P<(\max_{1\le i\le N}S_{i}>\epsilon>)…

We present an estimator of the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of random $d$-dimensional vector from an i.i.d. sample of size $n$. Our sole assumption is that this vector satisfies a bounded $L^p-L^2$ moment assumption over its one-dimensional…

We establish a lower bound on the entropy of weighted sums of (possibly dependent) random variables $(X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n)$ possessing a symmetric joint distribution. Our lower bound is in terms of the joint entropy of $(X_1, X_2, \dots,…

We prove a dimension-free tail comparison between the Euclidean norms of sums of independent random vectors uniformly distributed in centred Euclidean spheres and properly rescaled standard Gaussian random vectors.

We compute exact asymptotic results for the probability of the occurrence of large deviations of the largest (smallest) eigenvalue of random matrices belonging to the Gaussian orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles. In particular, we…

In this article we review recent generalisations of the central limit theorem for the sum of specially correlated (or q-independent) variables, focusing on q greater or equal than 1. Specifically, this kind of correlation turns the…

Let $\pa{X_{t}}_{t\in T}$ be a family of real-valued centered random variables indexed by a countable set $T$. In the first part of this paper, we establish exponential bounds for the deviation probabilities of the supremum $Z=\sup_{t\in…

The generalized connectivity of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et al. Let $S$ be a nonempty set of vertices of $G$, and $\kappa(S)$ be defined as the largest number of internally disjoint trees $T_1, T_2, \cdots, T_k$ connecting…

We give some existence/nonexistence statements on universal graphs, which under GCH give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a universal graph of size lambda with no K(kappa), namely, if either kappa is finite or…

In this paper, we estimate the shifted convolution sum \[\sum_{n\geqslant1}\lambda_1(1,n)\lambda_2(n+h)V\Big(\frac{n}{X}\Big),\] where $V$ is a smooth function with support in $[1,2]$, $1\leqslant|h|\leqslant X$, $\lambda_1(1,n)$ and…

Zeckendorf proved that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers $\{1,2,3,5,\dots\}$. This has been extended to many other recurrence relations $\{G_n\}$ (with their own notion of a legal…

Let $d\ge 3$ be a fixed integer. Let $y:= y(p)$ be the probability that the root of an infinite $d$-regular tree belongs to an infinite cluster after $p$-bond-percolation. We show that for every constants $b,\alpha>0$ and $1<\lambda< d-1$,…

We consider the problem $(\rm P)$ of exactly fitting an ellipsoid (centered at $0$) to $n$ standard Gaussian random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, as $n, d \to \infty$ with $n / d^2 \to \alpha > 0$. This problem is conjectured to undergo a…

We study the problem of estimating an unknown vector $\theta$ from an observation $X$ drawn according to the normal distribution with mean $\theta$ and identity covariance matrix under the knowledge that $\theta$ belongs to a known closed…
