Abstract

We study the prevalence of hyperuniformity and spatial rigidity among translation- invariant ergodic simple point processes of fixed intensity, in a topology controlling local second moments. Hyperuniform processes are dense but meagre. We prove that intermittent hyperuniformity is residual: the number variance exhibits hyperuniform behavior along some sequences of radii and hyperfluctuating behavior along others. Maximal rigidity is also residual. Thus generic processes are maximally rigid but not hyperuniform. A local-to-global principle reduces the proofs to cross-section constructions for an arbitrary fixed essentially free ergodic $\mathbb{R}^d$-action. We also prove that processes admitting revival sequences form a residual set and exhibit near-quadratic variance along suitable van Hove sequences.

Quantitative Propagation of Chaos for Singular Interacting Particle Systems Driven by Fractional Brownian Motion

We consider interacting systems particle driven by i.i.d. fractional Brownian motions, subject to irregular, possibly distributional, pairwise interactions. We show propagation of chaos and mean field convergence to the law of the associated McKean--Vlasov equation, as the number of particles $N\to\infty$, with quantitative sharp rates of order $N^{-1/2}$. Our results hold for a wide class of possibly time-dependent interactions, which are only assumed to satisfy a Besov-type regularity, related to the Hurst parameter $H\in (0,+\infty)\setminus \mathbb{N}$ of the driving noises. In particular, as $H$ decreases to $0$, interaction kernels of arbitrary singularity can be considered, a phenomenon frequently observed in regularization by noise results. Our proofs rely on a combinations of Sznitman's direct comparison argument with stochastic sewing techniques.

Power rate of convergence of discrete curves: framework and applications

We develop a framework for power-law rates of convergence of random discrete curves to Schramm Loewner Evolution (SLE). We show that a power-law rate of convergence of a suitable martingale observable gives a power-law rate of convergence of the interface to SLE, provided the discrete curves satisfy the Kemppainen-Smirnov crossing condition; the proof uses known estimates on the derivative of the SLE map. We apply the framework to the exploration process of critical site percolation on the triangular lattice, obtaining a power-law rate of convergence to SLE$_6$.

Refining Concentration Bounds for Gaussian Quadratic Chaos with Applications

This paper studies concentration of measure for Gaussian quadratic chaos in the non-asymptotic regime. We begin by tightening the classic Hanson-Wright inequality, where we increase its absolute constant $κ$ from 0.125 to at least 0.1457 in the symmetric case. We present a sharper version of Laurent-Massart inequality (LMI), which increases $κ$ from the largest available value of $1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\approx 0.134$ to $\frac{9-\sqrt{17}}{32}\approx 0.152$ in the positive-semidefinite case. We develop a sequence of inequalities indexed by $m\ge1$ that involve Schatten norms of the underlying matrix. The case $m=1$ recovers HWI. The bounds undergo a phase transition in the sense that if the tail parameter is smaller than a critical threshold $τ_c$, then $m=1$ is the tightest, whereas if it is larger than $τ_c$, then $m=\infty$ is the tightest. This leads to a novel bound called the $m_\infty$ bound. All HWI, LMI and the $m_\infty$ inequality rely on Markov's inequality. By avoiding Markov's inequality, we introduce the strong and weak $χ^2$ inequalities. We provide a list of concentration bounds that depend only on the operator norm in the positive-definite case, namely, the $m_\infty$ bound, the weak $χ^2$ bound, relaxed versions of HWI and LMI, and the so-called large-deviations bound. The sharpest among these is shown to be always either the $m_\infty$ bound or the weak $χ^2$ bound. By utilizing conditioning, modified versions of $m_\infty$, $χ^2$, and HW inequalities of various orders are proposed, all of which can be significantly tighter than the original inequalities. By leveraging the Ruben-Kotz expansion for the distribution of a positive-definite quadratic form, we introduce the Ruben-Kotz inequalities (RKIs) for general symmetric quadratic forms. A key advantage of RKIs is that they provide an explicit upper bound on the approximation gap.
