We investigate the rate functions that emerge in our previous works towards large deviation principle for the matrix liberation process driven by the unitary Brownian motion as well as the unitary Brownian motion itself. Our approach is…

Let n denote the number of variables and m the number of equations in a sparse polynomial system over the binary field. We study the inconsistency probability of randomly generated sparse polynomial systems over the binary field, where each…

Stochastic resetting -- the intermittent restart of random processes -- has profoundly reshaped first-passage theory, providing a mechanism to control and optimize completion times. While the influence of resetting on mean first-passage…

We study a symmetrized (half-space) version of geometric last passage percolation with a boundary parameter $c$ that interpolates between subcritical, critical, and supercritical behavior. This model gives rise to a family of interlacing…

We establish uniform pointwise estimates for the densities of a family of $\alpha$-stable processes with respect to the index $\alpha \in [\alpha_0,2]$ for some $\alpha_0>0$. In addition, we estimate the difference between the heat kernels…

In the uniformly discrete case of virtual persistence diagram groups $K(X,A)$, we construct a translation-invariant heat semigroup. The kernels are supported on a countable subgroup $H$, and the restriction to $H$ has Fourier exponent…

We study Gaussian concentration inequalities for random fields obtained as finitary codings of i.i.d.\ fields, linking concentration properties to coding structure. A finitary coding represents a dependent field as a shift-equivariant image…

Genetic algorithms are high-level heuristic optimization methods which enjoy great popularity thanks to their intuitive description, flexibility, and, of course, effectiveness. The optimization procedure is based on the evolution of…

For independent random variables $(X_i)_{1\leq i\leq n}$, we consider the maximal correlation coefficient $R=R(\min_{i:1\leq i\leq m}X_i,\min_{j:\ell+1\leq j\leq n}X_j)$. If $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n$ are identically distributed with the same…

We prove that the laws of the BPHZ random models satisfy some transportation cost inequalities in the full subcritical regime if there is no 'variance blowup' and the law of the noise is translation invariant and satisfies some…

In this article, we characterize continuous stationary fields via generalized Langevin dynamics. This gives natural connections between stationary fields, stationary increment fields, self-similar fields, and generalized Langevin dynamics.…

We study block-diagonal random matrices with i.i.d. subexponential entries and show that, despite their highly structured form, they already guarantee exact sparse recovery from a nearly optimal number of measurements. When the matrix…

We consider an evolving random discrete tree model called Preferential Attachment with Vertex Death, as introduced by Deijfen. Initialised with an alive root labelled $1$, at each step $n\geq1$ either a new vertex with label $n+1$ is…

We introduce a dynamic model where the state space is the set of contractible cubical sets in the Euclidian space. The permissible state transitions, that is addition and removal of a cube to/from the set, are closest to Eden model with…

We introduce a simple dynamic model of opinion formation, in which a finite population of individuals hold vector-valued opinions. At each time step, each individual's opinion moves towards the mean opinion but is then perturbed…

This paper provides a bound for the supremum of sample averages over a class of functions for a general class of mixing stochastic processes with arbitrary mixing rates. Regardless of the speed of mixing, the bound is comprised of a…

Consider the random Schr\"odinger operator $H_n$ defined on $\{0,1,\cdots,n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}$ $$ (H_n\psi)_\ell=\psi_{\ell-1,n}+\psi_{\ell+1,n}+\sigma\frac{\omega_\ell}{a_{\ell,n}}\psi_{\ell,n},\quad \psi_0=\psi_{n+1}=0, $$ where…

We formulate a uniform tail bound for empirical processes indexed by a class of functions, in terms of the individual deviations of the functions rather than the worst-case deviation in the considered class. The tail bound is established by…

Given any compact connected matrix Lie group $G$ and any lattice dimension $d\ge 2$, we construct a massive Gaussian scaling limit for the $G$-valued lattice Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in the "complete breakdown of symmetry" regime. This limit…

There is a well understood way of generating random coverings of a fixed manifold by sampling homomorphisms from the fundamental group of this manifold into the symmetric group. We prove a central limit theorem for the number of connected…
