We consider gradient flow/gradient descent and heavy ball/accelerated gradient descent optimization for convex objective functions. In the gradient flow case, we prove the following: 1. If $f$ does not have a minimizer, the convergence…

The Machian cosmological solution satisfying $\phi =O(\rho /\omega)$ for the perfect-fluid with negative pressure is discussed. When the coefficient of the equation of state $\gamma \to -1/3$, the gravitational constant approaches to…

We consider the normalized Ricci flow $\del_t g = (\rho - R)g$ with initial condition a complete metric $g_0$ on an open surface $M$ where $M$ is conformal to a punctured compact Riemann surface and $g_0$ has ends which are asymptotic to…

Let $X\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex closed and semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial positive on $X$. We prove that there exists an exponent $N\geq 1$, such that for any $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^n$ the function…

We consider a generalisation of a conjecture by Patterson and Wiedemann from 1983 on the Hamming distance of a function from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$ to the set of affine functions from $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ to $\mathbb{F}_q$. We prove…

Let X_1 ,..., X_n be a collection of binary valued random variables and let f : {0,1}^n -> R be a Lipschitz function. Under a negative dependence hypothesis known as the {\em strong Rayleigh} condition, we show that f - E f satisfies a…

Let $\{f_i:\mathbb{F}_p^i \to \{0,1\}\}$ be a sequence of functions, where $p$ is a fixed prime and $\mathbb{F}_p$ is the finite field of order $p$. The limit of the sequence can be syntactically defined using the notion of ultralimit.…

We consider the ratio of two Gauss hypergeometric functions with real parameters shifted by arbitrary integers. We find a formula for the jump of this ratio over the branch cut in terms of a real hypergeometric polynomial, the beta density…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of the primes. We consider a class of random multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that $\{f(p)\}_{p\in\mathcal{P}}$ form a sequence of $\pm1$ valued independent random…

If $f\in L^2(R^d)$ and if the function $f(x)f(y)$ is close in $L^2(R^{2d})$ norm to a radially symmetric function of $(x,y)$ then $f$ is close in $L^2$ norm to a centered Gaussian function. This is proved in a quantitative form with the…

We prove that the $k$-th positive integer moment of partial sums of Steinhaus random multiplicative functions over the interval $(x, x+H]$ matches the corresponding Gaussian moment, as long as $H\ll x/(\log x)^{2k^2+2+o(1)}$ and $H$ tends…

We show that under rather general circumstances, the almost everywhere pointwise inequality $|f|(x) \le Mf (x)$ is equivalent to a weak form of the Lebesgue density theorem, for totally bounded closed sets. We derive both positive and…

In this short note we prove a conjecture for the interval $(0,1)$, related to a logarithmically completely monotonic function, presented in \cite{BG}. Then, we extend by proving a more generalized theorem. At the end we pose an open problem…

Let $Z$ be an $n$-dimensional Gaussian vector and let $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R$ be a convex function. We show that: $$\mathbb P \left( f(Z) \leq \mathbb E f(Z) -t\sqrt{ {\rm Var} f(Z)} \right) \leq \exp(-ct^2),$$ for all $t>1$, where…

Let I be a compact d-dimensional manifold, let X:I\to R be a Gaussian process with regular paths and let F_I(u), u\in R, be the probability distribution function of sup_{t\in I}X(t). We prove that under certain regularity and nondegeneracy…

Given a real valued and time-inhomogeneous martingale diffusion X, we investigate the properties of functions defined by the conditional expectation f(t,X_t)=E[g(X_T)|F_t]. We show that whenever g is monotonic or Lipschitz continuous then…

We prove the complete monotonicity on $(0,\infty)^n$ for suitable inverse powers of the spanning-tree polynomials of graphs and, more generally, of the basis generating polynomials of certain classes of matroids. This generalizes a result…

We prove a law of large numbers in terms of complete convergence of independent random variables taking values in increments of monotone functions, with convergence uniform both in the initial and the final time. The result holds also for…

We consider the Gaussian Entire Function (GEF) whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables, and the variance of the kth coefficient is 1/k!. This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its…

Let $A$ be a positive definite operator on a Hilbert space $H$, and $|||.|||$ be a unitarily invariant norm on $B(H)$. We show that if $f$ is an operator monotone function on $(0,\infty)$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, then $|||D^n…
