The looping constant $\xi(Z^d)$ is the expected number of neighbors of the origin that lie on the infinite loop-erased random walk in $Z^d$. Poghosyan, Priezzhev and Ruelle, and independently, Kenyon and Wilson, proved recently that…

Benford's law describes a common phenomenon among many naturally occurring data sets and distributions in which the leading digits of the data are distributed with the probability of a first digit of $d$ base $B$ being…

D. Bailey and R. E. Crandall recently formulated a "Hypothesis A", which provides a general principle to explain the (conjectured) normality of constants like pi or log 2 and other related numbers, to base 2 or other integer bases. This…

We study the individual digits for the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial for the Circular $\beta$-Ensemble. We show that, in the large $N$ limit, the first digits obey Benford's Law and the further digits become uniformly…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

We analyze the asymptotic fluctuations of linear eigenvalue statistics of random centrosymmetric matrices with i.i.d. entries. We prove that for a complex analytic test function, the centered and normalized linear eigenvalue statistics of…

In 1964 Lochs proved a theorem on the number of continued fraction digits of a real number $x$ that can be determined from just knowing its first $n$ decimal digits. In 2001 this result was generalised to a dynamical systems setting by…

The population $\mathrm{KL}_{\inf}$ is a fundamental quantity that appears in lower bounds for (asymptotically) optimal regret of pure-exploration stochastic bandit algorithms, and optimal stopping time of sequential tests. Motivated by…

We consider the multiparameter random simplicial complex on a vertex set $\{ 1,\dots,n \}$, which is parameterized by multiple connectivity probabilities. Our key results concern the topology of this complex of dimensions higher than the…

Based on the first 25 known values of Pi(10^n), the number of primes less than 10^n, with n integer between 1 and 25, we propose a conjectured value range of Pi(10^26) calculated by using polynomial interpolations with two corrective…

Buraczewski et al (2023) proved a functional limit theorem (FLT) and a law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for a random Dirichlet series $\sum_{k\geq 2}(\log k)^\alpha k^{-1/2-s}\eta_k$ as $s\to 0+$, where $\alpha>-1/2$ and $\eta_1$,…

Consider Ginibre's ensemble of $N \times N$ non-Hermitian random matrices in which all entries are independent complex Gaussians of mean zero and variance $\frac{1}{N}$. As $N \uparrow \infty$ the normalized counting measure of the…

This article presents a modern deterministic framework for the study of leading significant digit distributions in numerical data. Rather than relying on traditional probabilistic or mixture-based explanations, we demonstrate that the…

We study the properties of several likelihood-based statistics commonly used in testing for the presence of a known signal under a mixture model with known background, but unknown signal fraction. Under the null hypothesis of no signal, all…

Suppose $B_i:= B(p,r_i)$ are nested balls of radius $r_i$ about a point $p$ in a dynamical system $(T,X,\mu)$. The question of whether $T^i x\in B_i$ infinitely often (i. o.) for $\mu$ a.e.\ $x$ is often called the shrinking target problem.…

We prove various results on effective numberings and Friedberg numberings of families related to algorithmic randomness. The family of all Martin-L\"of random left-computably enumerable reals has a Friedberg numbering, as does the family of…

We consider Bernoulli measures $\mu_p$ on the interval $[0,1]$. For the standard Lebesgue measure the digits $0$ and $1$ in the binary representation of real numbers appear with an equal probability $1/2$. For the Bernoulli measures, the…

The ratio of the circumference, C, of a circle to its diameter, D, is a constant number denoted by $\pi$ and is independent of the size of the circle. It is known that $\pi$ is an irrational number and therefore cannot be expressed as a…

In this paper, we give evaluations of integrals involving the arctan and the logarithm functions, and present several new summation identities for odd harmonic numbers and Milgram constants. These summation identities can be expressed as…

We consider sequences of random variables whose probability generating functions are polynomials all of whose roots lie on the unit circle. The distribution of such random variables has only been sporadically studied in the literature. We…
