In an earlier joint work, we studied a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to sample from the Gibbs measure supported on torus with a non-convex energy function at a low temperature, where we proved that the time complexity of the algorithm is…

In this article, we consider the multiplicative chaos measure associated to the log-correlated random Fourier series, or random wave model, with i.i.d. coefficients taken from a general class of distributions. This measure was shown to be…

Take $G$ a locally compact second-countable group, and $H$ a subgroup of $G$. Choose $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$, such that the group spanned by its support is dense in $G$, and consider the Markov chain on the homogeneous space…

We introduce the genuine multipartite Rains entanglement (GMRE) as a measure of genuine multipartite entanglement that can be computed using semi-definite programming. Similar to the Rains relative entropy (its bipartite counterpart), the…

In fluid dynamics, an important problem is linked to the knowledge of the fluid pressure. Recently, another approach to study incompressible fluid flow was suggested. It consists in using a general pressure equation (GPE) derived from…

We establish that the family of polymer measures $M^{\theta}_{[s,t]}$ associated with the Stochastic Heat Flow (SHF), indexed by $\theta\in\mathbb{R}$, has a conditional Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos (GMC) structure. Namely, taking the…

Tutte's famous 5-flow conjecture asserts that every bridgeless graph has a nowhere-zero 5-flow. Seymour proved that every such graph has a nowhere-zero 6-flow. Here we give (two versions of) a new proof of Seymour's Theorem. Both are…

L.Bondesson [1] conjectured that the density of a positive $\alpha$-stable distribution is hyperbolically completely monotone (HCM in short) if and only if $\alpha$ $\le$ 1/2. This was proved recently by P. Bosch and Th. Simon, who also…
