On a large class of Riemannian manifolds with boundary, some dimension-free Harnack inequalities for the Neumann semigroup is proved to be equivalent to the convexity of the boundary and a curvature condition. In particular, for $p_t(x,y)$…
The long time behavior of a couple of interacting asymmetric exclusion processes of opposite velocities is investigated in one space dimension. We do not allow two particles at the same site, and a collision effect (exchange) takes place…
Derivations of two Bell's inequalities are given in a form appropriate to the interpretation of experimental data for explicit determination of all the correlations. They are arithmetic identities independent of statistical reasoning and…
Let $(E,\F,\mu)$ be a $\si$-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measure $J(\d x, \d y):=J(x,y) \,\mu(\d x)\,\mu(\d y)$ on $E\times E,$ consider the quadratic form $$\E(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}\int_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^2 \, J(\d…
Bell's inequality sets a strict threshold for how strongly correlated the outcomes of measurements on two or more particles can be, if the outcomes of each measurement are independent of actions undertaken at arbitrarily distant locations.…
We consider elliptic equations and systems in divergence form with the conormal or the Robin boundary conditions, with small BMO (bounded mean oscillation) or variably partially small BMO coefficients. We propose a new class of domains…
We consider the classical obstacle problem on bounded, connected Lipschitz domains $D \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We derive quantitative bounds on the changes to contact sets under general perturbations to both the right hand side and the…
We prove a Liouville-type theorem that is one-dimensional symmetry and classification results for non-negative $L^q$-viscosity solutions of the equation \begin{equation*} -\mathcal{M}_{\lambda, \Lambda}^{\pm}(D^2u)\pm |Du|^p=0, x\in…
We propose a "decomposition method" to prove non-asymptotic bound for the convergence of empirical measures in various dual norms. The main point is to show that if one measures convergence in duality with sufficiently regular observables,…
A {\it uniformly $p$-to-one endomorphism} is a measure-preserving map with entropy log $p$ which is almost everywhere $p$-to-one and for which the conditional expectation of each preimage is precisely $1/p$. The {\it standard} example of…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded domain and let $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \dots$ denote the sequence of eigenvalues of the Laplacian subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider inequalities for $\lambda_n$ that are…
We prove a curvature-dimension criterion and obtain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for generalised Cauchy measures with optimal weights and explicit constants. In the one-dimensional case, this constant is even optimal. From these…
We prove a product estimate that allows to estimate the quadratic first order nonlinearity of the harmonic map flow in the $L^p$ norm. Then the parabolic analogue of Weyl's lemma for the Lapace operator is established. Both results are…
Log-Sobolev inequalities (LSIs) upper-bound entropy via a multiple of the Dirichlet form (i.e. norm of a gradient). In this paper we prove a family of entropy-energy inequalities for the binary hypercube which provide a non-linear…
We consider the random cluster model with parameter $q<1$, for which the FKG inequalities are not valid. On the square lattice, stochastic comparison with Bernoulli percolation implies that the model is subcritical (respectively…
When a fluid is constrained to a fixed, finite volume, the conditions for liquid-vapor equilibrium are different from the infinite volume or constant pressure cases. There is even a range of densities for which no bubble can form, and the…
In this paper, we investigate inhomogeneous and simultaneous Diophantine approximation in beta dynamical systems. For $\beta>1$ let $T_{\beta}$ be the $\beta$-transformation on $[0,1]$. We determine the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff…

Tests of equality of copulas between two samples are introduced and studied using the empirical Bernstein copula process. Three statistics are proposed and their asymptotic properties are established. Besides, a subsampling Bernstein…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem for the heat equation on cylindrical domains with a bounded and Lipschitz base $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a time-dependent separation $\Lambda$. Under certain mild regularity…
