Let $[q] = \{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}$, let $\Delta[q]$ denote the simplex of probability measures on $[q]$, and let $\gamma$ denote the Lebesgue measure normalized on $\Delta[q]$. We prove that for any symmetric monotone function $f \colon[q]^n…

We give a polynomial time algorithm for the lossy population recovery problem. In this problem, the goal is to approximately learn an unknown distribution on binary strings of length $n$ from lossy samples: for some parameter $\mu$ each…

We establish the limiting distribution of $\frac{{(\log \log x)}^{1/4}}{\sqrt{x}} \sum_{n\le x}\alpha(n)$ where $\alpha$ is a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, answering a question of Harper. The distributional convergence is proved…

A conditional sampling oracle for a probability distribution D returns samples from the conditional distribution of D restricted to a specified subset of the domain. A recent line of work (Chakraborty et al. 2013 and Cannone et al. 2014)…

We give a Schinzel-Zassenhaus-type lower bound for the maximum modulus of roots of a monic integer polynomial with all roots symmetric with respect to the unit circle. Our results extend a recent work of Dimitrov, who proved the general…

We study the question of closeness testing for two discrete distributions. More precisely, given samples from two distributions $p$ and $q$ over an $n$-element set, we wish to distinguish whether $p=q$ versus $p$ is at least $\eps$-far from…

We show how to compute any symmetric Boolean function on $n$ variables over any field (as well as the integers) with a probabilistic polynomial of degree $O(\sqrt{n \log(1/\epsilon)})$ and error at most $\epsilon$. The degree dependence on…

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

We study a tight Bennett-type concentration inequality for sums of heterogeneous and independent variables, defined as a one-dimensional minimization. We show that this refinement, which outperforms the standard known bounds, remains…

It is common in stability analysis to linearize a system and investigate the spectrum of the Jacobian matrix. This approach faces the challenge of determining the matrix spectrum when the coefficients depend on parameters or when the…

A permutation $\sigma$ describing the relative orders of the first $n$ iterates of a point $x$ under a self-map $f$ of the interval $I=[0,1]$ is called an \emph{order pattern}. For fixed $f$ and $n$, measuring the points $x\in I$ (according…

Deciding in an efficient way weak probabilistic bisimulation in the context of Probabilistic Automata is an open problem for about a decade. In this work we close this problem by proposing a procedure that checks in polynomial time the…

In this paper we investigate the intrinsic sequential time complexity of universal elimination procedures for arbitrary continuous data structures encoding input and output objects of elimination theory (i.e. polynomial equation systems)…

We prove uniform convergence results for the integrated periodogram of a weakly dependent time series, namely a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem. These results are applied to Whittle's parametric estimation. Under general…

An equivalent condition for the product of elements of an independent random sample on a compact algebraic group converging in distribution to some random variable as the sample size increases is obtained. Namely, a limit distribution…

We show that positivity on $\mathbb{R}_+^n$ and on $\mathbb{R}^n$ of real symmetric polynomials of degree at most $p$ in $n\ge2$ variables is solvable by algorithms running in $\mathrm{poly}(n)$ time. For real symmetric quartics, we find…

We give new quantum algorithms for evaluating composed functions whose inputs may be shared between bottom-level gates. Let $f$ be an $m$-bit Boolean function and consider an $n$-bit function $F$ obtained by applying $f$ to conjunctions of…

Let $\sigma_i$, $i=1,\ldots,n$, denote positive Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$, let $\mathcal{D}$ denote the usual collection of dyadic cubes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $K:\,\mathcal{D}\to[0,\infty)$ be a~map. In this paper we give…

We present a categorical viewpoint of probability measures by showing that a probability measure can be viewed as a weakly averaging affine measurable functional taking values in the unit interval which preserves limits. The probability…

We consider the problem of clustering mixtures of mean-separated Gaussians in high dimensions. We are given samples from a mixture of $k$ identity covariance Gaussians, so that the minimum pairwise distance between any two pairs of means is…
