A generalized Kahane-Khinchin inequality

S. Favorov (1998)

Studia Mathematica

The inequality ʃ l o g | a n e 2 π i φ n | d φ 1 d φ n C l o g ( | a n | 2 ) 1 / 2 with an absolute constant C, and similar ones, are extended to the case of a n belonging to an arbitrary normed space X and an arbitrary compact group of unitary operators on X instead of the operators of multiplication by e 2 π i φ .

A generalized mean-reverting equation and applications

Nicolas Marie (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider a mean-reverting equation, generalized in the sense it is driven by a 1-dimensional centered Gaussian process with Hölder continuous paths on [0,T] (T> 0). Taking that equation in rough paths sense only gives local existence of the solution because the non-explosion condition is not satisfied in general. Under natural assumptions, by using specific methods, we show the global existence and uniqueness of the solution, its integrability, the continuity and differentiability of the...

A geometric approach to correlation inequalities in the plane

A. Figalli, F. Maggi, A. Pratelli (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

By elementary geometric arguments, correlation inequalities for radially symmetric probability measures are proved in the plane. Precisely, it is shown that the correlation ratio for pairs of width-decreasing sets is minimized within the class of infinite strips. Since open convex sets which are symmetric with respect to the origin turn out to be width-decreasing sets, Pitt’s Gaussian correlation inequality (the two-dimensional case of the long-standing Gaussian correlation conjecture) is derived...

A geometric approach to on-diagonal heat kernel lower bounds on groups

Thierry Coulhon, Alexander Grigor'yan, Christophe Pittet (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce a new method for obtaining heat kernel on-diagonal lower bounds on non- compact Lie groups and on infinite discrete groups. By using this method, we are able to recover the previously known results for unimodular amenable Lie groups as well as for certain classes of discrete groups including the polycyclic groups, and to give them a geometric interpretation. We also obtain new results for some discrete groups which admit the structure of a semi-direct product or of a wreath product....

A geometric derivation of the linear Boltzmann equation for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, using a Fock space approach

Sébastien Breteaux (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this article the linear Boltzmann equation is derived for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, in the weak coupling limit, with renewal in time of the random field. The initial data can be chosen arbitrarily. The proof is geometric and involves coherent states and semi-classical calculus.

A geometry on the space of probabilities (II). Projective spaces and exponential families.

Henryk Gzyl, Lázaro Recht (2006)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this note we continue a theme taken up in part I, see [Gzyl and Recht: The geometry on the class of probabilities (I). The finite dimensional case. Rev. Mat. Iberoamericana 22 (2006), 545-558], namely to provide a geometric interpretation of exponential families as end points of geodesics of a non-metric connection in a function space. For that we characterize the space of probability densities as a projective space in the class of strictly positive functions, and these will be regarded as a...

A growth estimate for continuous random fields

Ralf Manthey, Katrin Mittmann (1996)

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove a polynomial growth estimate for random fields satisfying the Kolmogorov continuity test. As an application we are able to estimate the growth of the solution to the Cauchy problem for a stochastic diffusion equation.
