Sums of powers: an arithmetic refinement to the probabilistic model of Erdős and Rényi

Jean-Marc Deshouillers, François Hennecart, Bernard Landreau (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

Erdős and Rényi proposed in 1960 a probabilistic model for sums of s integral sth powers. Their model leads almost surely to a positive density for sums of s pseudo sth powers, which does not reflect the case of sums of two squares. We refine their model by adding arithmetical considerations and show that our model is in accordance with a zero density for sums of two pseudo-squares and a positive density for sums of s pseudo sth powers when s ≥ 3. Moreover, our approach supports a conjecture of...

The Poisson boundary of random rational affinities

Sara Brofferio (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that in order to describe the Poisson boundary of rational affinities, it is necessary and sufficient to consider the action on real and all p -adic fileds.

The Ray space of a right process

Ronald K. Getoor, Michael J. Sharpe (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let X be a process with state space E satisfying (a somewhat relaxed version of) Meyer’s “hypothèses droites”. Then by introducing a new topology (called the Ray topology) on E and a compactification F of E in the Ray topology one can regard X as a Ray process. However, this construction depends on the choice of an arbitrary uniformity on E and not just the topology of E . We show that the Ray topology is independent of the choice of this uniformity. We then introduce a space R (the Ray space) which...

Two Kinds of Invariance of Full Conditional Probabilities

Alexander R. Pruss (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let G be a group acting on Ω and ℱ a G-invariant algebra of subsets of Ω. A full conditional probability on ℱ is a function P: ℱ × (ℱ∖{∅}) → [0,1] satisfying the obvious axioms (with only finite additivity). It is weakly G-invariant provided that P(gA|gB) = P(A|B) for all g ∈ G and A,B ∈ ℱ, and strongly G-invariant provided that P(gA|B) = P(A|B) whenever g ∈ G and A ∪ gA ⊆ B. Armstrong (1989) claimed that weak and strong invariance are equivalent, but we shall show that this is false and that weak...

Universality for random tensors

Razvan Gurau (2014)

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

We prove two universality results for random tensors of arbitrary rank D . We first prove that a random tensor whose entries are N D independent, identically distributed, complex random variables converges in distribution in the large N limit to the same limit as the distributional limit of a Gaussian tensor model. This generalizes the universality of random matrices to random tensors. We then prove a second, stronger, universality result. Under the weaker assumption that the joint probability distribution...
