Let $F$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet defined by independent exponents. We prove that $\overline{\dim}_B (\ell \cap F) \leq \max \lbrace \dim^* F -1,0 \rbrace$ for all lines $\ell$ not parallel to the principal axes, where $\dim^*$ is…

A poset $\bfp$ is well-partially ordered (WPO) if all its linear extensions are well orders~; the supremum of ordered types of these linear extensions is the {\em length}, $\ell(\bfp)$ of $\bfp$. We prove that if the vertex set $X$ of…

Specification of the strongest possible Bell inequalities for arbitrarily complicated physical scenarios -- any number of observers choosing between any number of observables with any number of possible outcomes -- is currently an open…

In this paper several examples of gaps (lacunes) between dimensions of maximal and submaximal symmetric models are considered, which include investigation of number of independent linear and quadratic integrals of metrics and counting the…

Size bias occurs famously in waiting-time paradoxes, undesirably in sampling schemes, and unexpectedly in connection with Stein's method, tightness, analysis of the lognormal distribution, Skorohod embedding, infinite divisibility, and…

The paper deals with minimax optimal statistical tests for two composite hypotheses, where each hypothesis is defined by a non-parametric uncertainty set of feasible distributions. It is shown that for every pair of uncertainty sets of the…

We consider the local discrepancy of a symmetrized version of Hammersley type point sets in the unit square. As a measure for the irregularity of distribution we study the norm of the local discrepancy in Besov spaces with dominating mixed…

We study the Einstein relation between diffusion and response to an external field in systems showing superdiffusion. In particular, we investigate a continuous time Levy walk where the velocity remains constant for a time \tau, with…

We address the conjecture of [Durfee1978], bounding the singularity genus, p_g, by a multiple of the Milnor number, \mu, for an n-dimensional isolated complete intersection singularity. We show that the original conjecture of Durfee, namely…

We consider the systems of diffusion-orthogonal polynomials, defined in the work [1] of D. Bakry, S. Orevkov and M. Zani and (particularly) explain why these systems with boundary of maximal possible degree should always come from the…

This paper is aimed at a detailed study of the multifractal analysis of the so-called divergence points in the system of $\beta$-expansions. More precisely, let $([0,1),T_{\beta})$ be the $\beta$-dynamical system for a general $\beta>1$ and…

Deep neural networks often fail when deployed in real-world contexts due to distribution shift, a critical barrier to building safe and reliable systems. An emerging approach to address this problem relies on \emph{disagreement discrepancy}…

This paper addresses the problem of estimating a convex regression function under both the sup-norm risk and the pointwise risk using B-splines. The presence of the convex constraint complicates various issues in asymptotic analysis,…

We study the structure of sets $S\subseteq\{0, 1\}^n$ with small sensitivity. The well-known Simon's lemma says that any $S\subseteq\{0, 1\}^n$ of sensitivity $s$ must be of size at least $2^{n-s}$. This result has been useful for proving…

We construct a bi-Lipschitz bijection from the Boolean cube to the Hamming ball of equal volume. More precisely, we show that for all even n there exists an explicit bijection f from the n-dimensional Boolean cube to the Hamming ball of…

In this work we reproduce the characterization of $\Gg^s$-sets from the euclidean setting [J. London Math. Soc. 49:267-280,1994] to more general metric spaces. These sets have Hausdorff dimension at least $s$ and are closed by countable…
