It is shown that, if an event $A$ has the same conditional probability in each trial in an infinite sequence of Bernoulli trials, then $A$ is independent of each trial. More general results are actually established.
In 1986, Gromov asked whether every complete noncompact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and scalar curvature at least one satisfies: \[ \Vol_g (B(p, R))\le C_{n}R^{n-2} \] for all $p\in M$ and $R>0$. We answer this question affirmatively using the heat-kernel Fisher metric and Nash entropy.
Let $μ$ be a positive Borel measure on $\C^n$. For every $0<p<\infty$, we prove that the Toeplitz operator $T_μ^{\mathrm{ph}}$ induced by $μ$ on pluriharmonic Fock space belongs to $\Sp_p$ if and only if $z\mapstoμ(B(z,r))$ belongs to $L^p(\C^n)$ for one, or equivalently every, $r>0$; this is also equivalent to Schatten membership of...
Knutson and Tao's hives is a combinatorial model to compute Littlewood--Richardson coefficients. Similar to hives, Speyer introduced skeps and used them to prove a Schur log-concavity conjecture by Lam--Postnikov--Pylyavskyy. We first introduce skew hive and skew skep models, which specialize to both hives and skeps, and use this to...
We build on the recent breakthrough of Faulhuber, Petersen, van Velthoven, and Voigtlaender that disproved the HRT conjecture with a Schwartz function and a $12$-point configuration. We give a human-readable treatment of their mechanism and find HRT counterexample functions with exponential (or faster) decay. By a result of Bownik and...
Banach asked in 1932 whether a real Banach space $X$ whose $n$-dimensional subspaces, for some fixed $1<n<\dim X$, are all isometric must be a Hilbert space.Gromov proved the conjecture for even $n$, and subsequent work settled several odd-dimensional cases. We prove the conjecture for every odd $n$, including all previously...
We study weakly hyperbolic magnetic (or twisted geodesic) flows of negatively curved surfaces (with nonpositive ''magnetic curvature") with a view to topological dynamics and ergodic theory, using their large-scale geometry on the universal cover.
We prove the existence of a genuinely time-dependent Brakke flow starting from $Γ_0 \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose associated multiplicity-one varifold is stationary, provided that, at some singular point, the scale-invariant $L^2$ distance of $Γ_0$ from an $n$-dimensional plane has sufficiently small limsup as the scale tends to...
In this article, we give a characterization of when two pseudo-Anosov flows obtained via gluings of pieces of pseudo-Anosov flows are orbit equivalent. As an application of this work, and the description of pseudo-Anosov flows in Seifert pieces due to Barbot and Fenley, we prove a ``virtual'' version of the Finiteness Conjecture for...
Let $X$ be a Polish space and let $\mathcal K(X)$ be its Vietoris hyperspace. A family $\mathcal I\subseteq\mathcal K(X)$ is hereditary if it is downward closed under inclusion. Matheron and Zelený asked whether every comeager hereditary family in $\mathcal K(X)$ contains a dense hereditary $G_δ$ subfamily. We give an affirmative...
A graph $G$ is \emph{perfectly weight divisible} if, for every positive integral weight function on $V(G)$ and every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ with at least one edge, the vertex set $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and the maximum weight of a clique in $H[B]$ is smaller than the maximum...
Machine learning procedures are commonly evaluated in terms of predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. However, their achievable performance is fundamentally constrained by structural properties of the underlying data-generating process, which are formalized in terms of informational bounds. In this work we examine intrinsic...
In this paper, we extend the classical problem of studying the distribution of $k$-free integers in arithmetic progressions to the setting of arbitrary number fields. Using the language of ray class groups, we establish asymptotic formulas, together with error terms, for the number of $k$-free ideals of bounded norm lying in a given...
In the transversal achievement game on the $n\times n$ board, two players alternately claim cells, and the first to own a transversal---a set of $n$ cells of which no two share a row or column---wins. Ranđelović showed that the first player wins for every $n\ge4$, while the game is a draw for $n=2,3$. We give an independent proof that...
We describe a mechanism of affine symmetry emergence in the maximal density regime of the prototypical model of self-organized criticality when the inverse square of the mesh of the underlying lattice is much larger than the number of random perturbation points distributed according to a prescribed probability measure supported in the...
We prove that for every integer $N\geq 3$ and $α\geq \frac{1}{2}$, Beckner's inequality \[ \fracα{2}\int_{\mathbb{S}^N}u(P_{N}u) dw+(N-1)!\int_{\mathbb{S}^N}u dw-\frac{(N-1)!}{N}\log\int_{\mathbb{S}^N}e^{Nu} dw\geq 0 \] holds for every $u\in H^{\frac{N}{2}}(\mathbb{S}^N)$ whose center of mass is at the origin. The proof is mainly...
We construct a smooth canonically polarized threefold, not biholomorphic to a product of positive-dimensional varieties, whose normalized Kähler-Einstein metric admits a non-integrable infinitesimal Einstein deformation. The same tangent direction is non-integrable as an infinitesimal complex deformation. In fact, the space of...
Dyson universality typically manifests itself in local eigenvalue statistics. Here we show that its signature survives a nonlinear inverse-spectral reconstruction and reappears in the matrix geometry of the reconstructed operator. Using a dressing transformation, we map each unfolded spectrum to a deformation $f(x)$ of a fixed...
For every $0\leqβ\leq1/2$, we construct a nonzero real-valued continuous function $f_β$ in $L^1(\mathbb R)\cap L^2(\mathbb R)$ such that $\widehat {f}_β=f_β$ and $f_β(\sqrt{n}/[\log(e+n)]^β)=0$ for all $n\geq 0$. The case $β=0$ settles in the negative a question raised by Radchenko and Viazovska regarding their Fourier interpolation...
In the one-period Gaussian Kyle~(1985) model, a single informed trader observes a Gaussian asset value, while independent Gaussian noise demand is submitted to competitive market makers. The market makers observe aggregate order flow and set the price equal to the inverse regression of value on order flow, while the insider chooses...
This paper has several parts. We begin by developing a theory of `piecewise (strong) f-genericity' in NIP groups, where we call a definable set piecewise (strong) f-generic if some union of finitely many translates of it is (strong) f-generic. We show that, in an NIP group, the definable sets that are not piecewise (strong) f-generic...
Let $V$ and $U$ be independent standard normal random variables. For a Borel function $φ: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, let $P_φ$ be a version of the inverse regression $P_φ(y) = E[V \mid φ(V)+U = y]$, and let $F_φ(x) = E[P_φ(x+U)]$ be its Gaussian smoothing. We prove that $φ(v) \in \mathrm{argmax}_x \{ xv - x F_φ(x) \}$ for every real...
We prove the claim in the title and complete Parker and Rowley's classification (J. Algebra 2001) of which sporadic simple groups are completions of the Goldschmidt G3-amalgam.
Our main results are an upper bound on the asymptotic resurgence of the facet ideal of a graphic matroid in terms of the number of vertices and a lower bound in terms of the circumference. These bounds coincide for Hamiltonian graphs, which form the majority of graphs on $n$ vertices as $n$ tends to infinity. For simple $2$-connected...
We propose a stabilized version of the fully discrete Dziuk's method for the curve-shortening flow of a closed planar curve with piecewise linear parametric finite elements. With a carefully designed stabilization term, we are able to show a surprising discrete tangential stability of the Barrett--Garcke--Nürnberg (BGN) type under the...
