The classic central limit theorem and $\alpha$-stable distributions play a key role in probability theory, and also in Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. They both concern the paradigmatic case of probabilistic independence of the…

Our main results are quantitative bounds in the multivariate normal approximation of centred subgraph counts in random graphs generated by a general graphon and independent vertex labels. We are interested in these statistics because they…

A strong law of large numbers for $d$-dimensional random projections of the $n$-dimensional cube is derived. It shows that with respect to the Hausdorff distance a properly normalized random projection of $[-1,1]^n$ onto $\mathbb{R}^d$…

Let N > n, and denote by K the convex hull of N independent standard gaussian random vectors in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove that with high probability, the isotropic constant of K is bounded by a universal constant. Thus we…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with independent rows $R_1(A),\dots,R_n(A)$, and assume that for any $i\leq n$ and any three-dimensional linear subspace $F\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ the orthogonal projection of $R_i(A)$ onto $F$ has…

We prove a Central Limit Theorem for the finite dimensional distributions of the displacement for the 1D self-repelling diffusion which solves \begin{equation*} dX_t =dB_t -\big(G'(X_t)+ \int_0^t F'(X_t-X_s)ds\big)dt, \end{equation*} where…

In this paper we study the functional given by the integral of the mean curvature of a convex set with Gaussian weight with Gaussian volume constraint. It was conjectured that the ball centered at the origin is the only minimizer of such a…

A soft random graph $G(n,r,p)$ can be obtained from the random geometric graph $G(n,r)$ by keeping every edge in $G(n,r)$ with probability $p$. The soft random simplicial complexes is a model for random simplicial complexes built over the…

In this paper we develop tools for studying limit theorems by means of convexity. We establish bounds for the discrepancy in total variation between probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ such that $\nu$ is log-concave with respect to $\mu$.…

The aim of this expository note is to prove that any $1$-subgaussian random vector is dominated in the convex ordering by a universal constant times a standard Gaussian vector. This strengthens Talagrand's celebrated subgaussian comparison…
