摘要：We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the Bakry-Emery curvature is not lower bounded. Several new examples are provided.

摘要：A real valued function h defined on R is called g-convex if it satisfies the generalized Jensen's inequality for a given g-expectation, i.e., h (E-g[X]) <= E-g [h (X)] holds for all random variables X such that both sides of the inequality are meaningful. In this paper we will give a necessary and sufficient condition for a C (2)-function being g-convex, and study some more general situations. We also study g-concave and g-affine functions, and a relation between g-convexity and backward stoch...

摘要：The goal of this paper is to study optimal transportation problems and gradient flows of probability measures on the Wiener space, based on and extending fundamental results of Feyel-stunel. Carrying out the program of Ambrosio-Gigli-Savar,, we present a complete characterization of the derivative processes for certain class of absolutely continuous curves. We prove existence of the gradient flow curves for the relative entropy w.r.t. the Wiener measure and identify these gradient flow curves ...

摘要：We introduce some applications of Stein's method in the high temperature analysis of spin glasses. Stein's method allows the direct analysis of the Gibbs measure without having to eate a cavity. Another advantage is that it gives limit theorems with total variation error bounds, although the bounds can be suboptimal. A surprising byproduct of our analysis is a relatively transparent explanation of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer system of equations. Along the way, we develop Stein's method for mi...

摘要：We consider contact processes on the hierarchical group, where sites infect other sites at a rate depending on their hierarchical distance, and sites become healthy with a constant recovery rate. If the infection rates decay too fast as a function of the hierarchical distance, then we show that the critical recovery rate is zero. On the other hand, we derive sufficient conditions on the speed of decay of the infection rates for the process to exhibit a nontrivial phase transition between extin...

摘要：The large deviation principle for stochastic line integrals along Brownian paths on a compact Riemannian manifold is studied. We regard them as a random map on a Sobolev space of 1-forms. We show that the differentiability order of the Sobolev space can be chosen to be almost independent of the dimension of the underlying space by assigning higher integrability on 1-forms. The large deviation is formulated for the joint distribution of stochastic line integrals and the empirical distribution o...

摘要：Consider reflecting Brownian motion in a bounded domain in R-d that acquires drift in proportion to the amount of local time spent on the boundary of the domain. We show that the stationary distribution for the joint law of the position of the reflecting Brownian motion and the value of the drift vector has a product form. Moreover, the first component is uniformly distributed on the domain, and the second component has a Gaussian distribution. We also consider more general reflecting diffusio...

摘要：Consider a time-varying collection of n points on the positive real axis, modeled as Exponentials of n Brownian motions whose drift vector at every time point is determined by the relative ranks of the coordinate processes at that time. If at each time point we divide the points by their sum, under suitable assumptions the rescaled point process converges to a stationary distribution (depending on n and the vector of drifts) as time goes to infinity. This stationary distribution can be exactly...

摘要：This paper is concerned with hypothesis tests for g-probabilities, a class of nonlinear probability measures. The problem is shown to be a special case of a general stochastic optimization problem where the objective is to choose the terminal state of certain backward stochastic differential equations so as to minimize a g-expectation. The latter is solved with a stochastic maximum principle approach. Neyman-Pearson type results are thereby derived for the original problem with both simple and...

摘要：We propose and implement a density estimation procedure which begins by turning density estimation into a nonparametric regression problem. This regression problem is created by binning the original observations into many small size bins, and by then applying a suitable form of root transformation to the binned data counts. In principle many common nonparametric regression estimators could then be applied to the transformed data. We propose use of a wavelet block thresholding estimator in this...
