Consider a degree-$d$ polynomial $f(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)$ of independent Rademacher random variables $\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n$. To what extent can $f(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)$ concentrate on a single point? This is the so-called polynomial…
Consider a quadratic polynomial $Q(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n})$ of independent Rademacher random variables $\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}$. To what extent can $Q(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n})$ concentrate on a single value? This quadratic version of the…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be independent identically distributed random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We consider upper bounds on $\max_x \mathbb{P}(a_1X_1+\cdots+a_nX_n=x)$ under various restrictions on $X_i$ and the weights $a_i$. When…
Let $\epsilon_1, \dotsc, \epsilon_n$ be i.i.d. Rademacher random variables taking values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$ each. Given an integer vector $\boldsymbol{a} = (a_1, \dotsc, a_n)$, its concentration probability is the quantity…
The classical Erd\H{o}s-Littlewood-Offord theorem says that for nonzero vectors $a_1,\dots,a_n\in \mathbb{R}^d$, any $x\in \mathbb{R}^d$, and uniformly random $(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)\in\{-1,1\}^n$, we have…
Consider a sum $S_n=v_i\varepsilon_1+\cdots+v_n\varepsilon_{n}$, where $(v_i)^{n}_{i=1}$ are non-zero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and $(\varepsilon_i)^{n}_{i=1}$ are independent Rademacher random variables (i.e.,…
Consider a quadratic polynomial $f\left(\xi_{1},\dots,\xi_{n}\right)$ of independent Bernoulli random variables. What can be said about the concentration of $f$ on any single value? This generalises the classical Littlewood--Offord problem,…
We give a new bound on the probability that the random sum $\xi_1 v_1 +...+ \xi_n v_n$ belongs to a ball of fixed radius, where the $\xi_i$ are iid Bernoulli random variables and the $v_i$ are vectors in $\R^d$. As an application, we prove…
The celebrated Littlewood-Offord problem asks for an upper bound on the probability that the random variable $\epsilon_1 v_1 + \cdots + \epsilon_n v_n$ lies in the Euclidean unit ball, where $\epsilon_1, \ldots, \epsilon_n \in \{-1, 1\}$…
The classical Erd\H{o}s-Littlewood-Offord problem concerns the random variable $X = a_1 \xi_1 + \dots + a_n \xi_n$, where $a_i \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$ are fixed and $\xi_i \sim \text{Ber}(1/2)$ are independent. The…
We prove two basic conjectures on the distribution of the smallest singular value of random n times n matrices with independent entries. Under minimal moment assumptions, we show that the smallest singular value is of order n^{-1/2}, which…
Littlewood--Offord Problem concerns the number of subsums of a set of vectors that fall in a given convex set. We present a discrete variation of this problem where we estimate the number of subsums that are $(0,1)$-vectors. We then utilize…
Let $\mathbf{v}_i$ be vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\{\varepsilon_i\}$ be independent Rademacher random variables. Then the Littlewood-Offord problem entails finding the best upper bound for $\sup_{\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^d}…
Consider the sum $X(\xi)=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i\xi_i$, where $a=(a_i)_{i=1}^n$ is a sequence of non-zero reals and $\xi=(\xi_i)_{i=1}^n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. Rademacher random variables (that is, $\Pr[\xi_i=1]=\Pr[\xi_i=-1]=1/2$). The…
We consider the probability that the random signed sum $\xi_1 v_1 + \dotsb + \xi_n v_n$ lies within a given distance $r$ of the origin, where $v_1,\dotsc,v_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$ are fixed unit vectors and $\xi_1,\dotsc,\xi_n$ are…
Given a star-shaped domain $K\subseteq \mathbb R^d$, $n$ vectors $v_1,\dots,v_n \in \mathbb R^d$, a number $R>0$, and i.i.d. random variables $\eta_1,\dots,\eta_n$, we study the geometric and arithmetic structure of the set of vectors $V =…
We give $L^1$-norm estimates for exponential sums of a finite sets $A$ consisting of integers or lattice points. Under the assumption that $A$ possesses sufficient multidimensional structure, our estimates are stronger than those of…
We consider random orthonormal polynomials $$ P_{n}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\xi_{i}p_{i}(x), $$ where $\xi_{0}$, . . . , $\xi_{n}$ are independent random variables with zero mean, unit variance and uniformly bounded $(2+\ep_0)$-moments, and…
Let $\epsilon_{1},\ldots,\epsilon_{n}$ be a sequence of independent Rademacher random variables. We prove that there is a constant $c>0$ such that for any unit vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_n\in \mathbb{R}^2$, $$\Pr\left[||\epsilon_1…
Let S_n=X_1+...+X_n be a sum of independent symmetric random variables such that |X_{i}|\leq 1. Denote by W_n=\epsilon_{1}+...+\epsilon_{n} a sum of independent random variables such that \prob{\eps_i = \pm 1} = 1/2. We prove that…
