We consider critical oriented Bernoulli percolation on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsh type result which allows us to derive several new results concerning the critical behavior: - We establish that the…

We prove the Fundamental Gap Conjecture, which states that the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues (the spectral gap) of a Schr\"odinger operator with convex potential and Dirichlet boundary data on a convex domain is…

We derive two distinct asymptotic expansions for the zeros $j_{\nu,k}^{(n)}$ of the $n$-th derivative of Bessel function $J_\nu^{(n)}(x)$. The first is a McMahon-type expansion for the case when $k \to \infty$ with fixed $\nu$, for which we…

Let \[Y_j=f_*(X_j)+\xi_j,\qquad j=1,...,n,\] where $X,X_1,...,X_n$ are i.i.d. random variables in a measurable space $(S,\mathcal{A})$ with distribution $\Pi$ and $\xi,\xi_1,... ,\xi_n$ are i.i.d. random variables with ${\mathbb{E}}\xi=0$…

For any integer $m\geq 2$ and $r \in \{1,\dots, m\}$, let $f_n^{m,r}$ denote the number of $n$-Dyck paths whose peak's heights are $im+r$ for some integer $i$. We find the generating function of $f_n^{m,r}$ satisfies a simple algebraic…

The historical postulates for the point mass are shown to be satisfied by an infinity of space-times, differing as to the limiting acceleration of a radially approaching test particle. Taking this limit to be infinite gives Schwarzschild's…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

If $\mu $ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$ we let $\mathcal H_\mu $ be the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_\mu =(\mu _{n, k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $\mu _{n, k}=\mu _{n+k}$, where, for $n\,=\,0, 1, 2, \dots $, $\mu_n$…

With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…

Central limit theorems are established for the sum, over a spatial region, of observations from a linear process on a $d$-dimensional lattice. This region need not be rectangular, but can be irregularly-shaped. Separate results are…

The Hankel determinant $H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2)$ of logarithmic coefficients is defined as: \begin{align*} H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2):= \begin{vmatrix} \Gamma_1 & \Gamma_2 \Gamma_2 & \Gamma_3 \end{vmatrix}=\Gamma_1\Gamma_3-\Gamma^2_2, \end{align*}…

For a function $\varphi$ in $L^2(0,1)$, extended to the whole real line as an odd periodic function of period 2, we ask when the collection of dilates $\varphi(nx)$, $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, constitutes a Riesz basis or a complete sequence in…

If a fluctuating medium is confined, the ensuing perturbation of its fluctuation spectrum generates Casimir-like effective forces acting on its confining surfaces. Near a continuous phase transition of such a medium the corresponding order…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1)$. For $\gamma>0$, the Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu,\gamma}=(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_{n+k}=\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{n+k}d\mu(t)$.…

We develop a new analysis of sampling-based motion planning in Euclidean space with uniform random sampling, which significantly improves upon the celebrated result of Karaman and Frazzoli (2011) and subsequent work. Particularly, we prove…

We study contraction under a Markov semi-group and influence bounds for functions in $L^2$ tail spaces, i.e. functions all of whose low level Fourier coefficients vanish. It is natural to expect that certain analytic inequalities are…

We evaluate Hankel determinants of matrices in which the entries are generating functions for paths consisting of up-steps, down-steps and level steps with a fixed starting point but variable end point. By specialisation, these determinant…

We prove some basic theorems concerning lemniscate configurations in an Euclidean space of dimension $ n \geq 3$. Lemniscates are defined as follows. Given m points $w_j $ in $\mathbb R^n$, consider the function $F(x)$ which is the product…

To a sequence (s_n)_{n\ge 0} of real numbers we associate the sequence of Hankel matrices \mathcal H_n=(s_{i+j}),0\le i,j \le n. We prove that if the corresponding sequence of Hankel determinants D_n=\det\mathcal H_n satisfy D_n>0 for n<n_0…

We formulate a plausible conjecture for the optimal Ehrhard-type inequality for convex symmetric sets with respect to the Gaussian measure. Namely, letting $J_{k-1}(s)=\int^s_0 t^{k-1} e^{-\frac{t^2}{2}}dt$ and $c_{k-1}=J_{k-1}(+\infty)$,…
