We consider mixed integer linear sets defined by two equations involving two integer variables and any number of non-negative continuous variables. The non-trivial valid inequalities of such sets can be classified into split, type 1, type…
We study the persistence probability of a centered stationary Gaussian process on $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{R}$, that is, its probability to remain positive for a long time. We describe the delicate interplay between this probability and the…
We present a model for the formation of relativistic global vortices (strings) at a quench, and calculate their density and correlations. The significance of these results to early universe and condensed-matter physics is discussed. In…
We review various inequalities for Mills' ratio (1 - \Phi)/\phi, where \phi and \Phi denote the standard Gaussian density and distribution function, respectively. Elementary considerations involving finite continued fractions lead to a…
A systematic study of the relations between fluctuations of the extensive multiparticle variables and integrals of the inclusive multipaticle densities is analysed. The generalized factorial moments are introduced and their physical meaning…
Problems in optimization and geometric probability are discussed, all connected with angles subtended at an observer's eye by an object at a distance. Several of these remain unsolved.
We present some aspects of the so-called additive coalescence, with a focus on its connections with random trees, Brownian excursion, certain bridges with exchangeable increments, L\'evy processes, and sticky particle systems.
Much of modern string theory research concerns AdS/CFT duality, or more generally, gauge/gravity duality. The main subjects are a) Testing and understanding such dualities by exploring how they work for systems with a lot of supersymmetry…
A brief introduction is given to some aspects of the statistical description of the luminous matter distribution. I review the features of the redshift surveys that arise in the statistical analysis of the galaxy clustering. Special topics…
We introduce a notion of state-constraint viscosity solutions for one dimensional \junction"-type problems for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with non convex coercive Hamiltonians and study its well- posedness and stability properties. We show…
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. For such fields, the relative densities of umbilical points -- topological defects which can be classified into three types -- have certain fixed values.…
In this paper some links between the density of a set of integers and the density of its sumset, product set and set of subset sums are presented.
Two--sided bounds are constructed for a probability density function of a weighted sum of chi-square variables. Both cases of central and non-central chi-square variables are considered. The upper and lower bounds have the same dependence…
In this work, we analyze the behavior of statistical complexity in several systems where two identical densities that travel in opposite direction cross each other. The crossing between two Gaussian, rectangular and triangular densities is…
This survey provides an exposition of a suite of techniques based on the theory of polynomials, collectively referred to as polynomial methods, which have recently been applied to address several challenging problems in statistical…
This is an extensive review of recent work on the foundations of statistical mechanics. Subject matters discussed include: interpretation of probability, typicality, recurrence, reversibility, ergodicity, mixing, coarse graining, past…
The structure of Gaussian random fields over high levels is a well researched and well understood area, particularly if the field is smooth. However, the question as to whether or not two or more points which lie in an excursion set belong…
Three topics in dynamical systems are discussed. In the first two sections we solve some open problems concerning, respectively, Furstenberg entropy of stationary dynamical systems, and uniformly rigid actions admitting a weakly mixing…
We derive two-sided estimates on moments and tails of Gaussian chaoses, that is, random variables of the form $\sum a_{i_1,...,i_d}g_{i_1}... g_{i_d}$, where $g_i$ are i.i.d. ${\mathcal{N}}(0,1)$ r.v.'s. Estimates are exact up to constants…
Given a triangle ABC, we derive the probability distribution function and the moments of the area of an inscribed triangle RST whose vertices are uniformly distributed on AB, BC, and CA. The theoretical results are confirmed by a Monte…
