The large deviation problem for sums of i.i.d. random vectors is considered. It is assumed that the underlying distribution is absolutely continuous and its density is of regular variation. An asymptotic expression for the probability of large deviations is established in the case of a non-normal stable limit law. The role of the maximal summand is also emphasized.

In the theory of progressive enlargements of filtrations, the supermartingale Zt = P (g > t | Ft) associated with an honest time g, and its additive (Doob-Meyer) decomposition, play an essential role. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach, using a multiplicative representation for the supermartingale Zt, based on Doob’s maximal identity. We thus give new examples of progressive enla...

In this paper, related to RBMO, we prove the sharp maximal inequalities for the Morrey spaces with the measure μ satisfying the growth condition. As an application we obtain the boundedness of commutators for these spaces.

Sharp weak type (1, 1) and L p estimates in dimension one are obtained for uncentered maximal functions associated with Borel measures which do not necessarily satisfy a doubling condition. In higher dimensions uncentered maximal functions fail to satisfy such estimates. Analogous results for centered maximal functions are given in all dimensions.

Maximal pseudocompact spaces (i.e. pseudocompact spaces possessing no strictly stronger pseudocompact topology) are characterized. It is shown that submaximal pseudocompact spaces whose pseudocompact subspaces are closed need not be maximal pseudocompact. Various techniques for constructing maximal pseudocompact spaces are described. Maximal pseudocompactness is compared to maximal feeble compa...

In this paper, we investigate the non-interactive simulation proposed by Kamath et. al. [3], and establish outer bounds by using the maximal correlation and hypercontractivity ribbon. For several examples, inner bounds are discussed and explicit schemes are also introduced.

In this paper results about the Hilbert function and about the number of minimal generators stated in (Orecchia) for disjoint unions of rational smooth curves are generalized to disjoint unions of distinct smooth non special curves. Hence, the maximal rank and the minimal generation of such curves are studied. In particular, we consider elliptic curves and we describe a method to compute their ...

We prove that extreme Kerr initial data set is a unique absolute minimum of the total mass in a (physically relevant) class of vacuum, maximal, asymptotically flat, axisymmetric data for Einstein equations with fixed angular momentum. These data represent nonstationary, axially symmetric, black holes. As a consequence, we obtain that any data in this class satisfy the inequality √ J ≤ m, where ...

We show that the maximal number of singular moves required to pass between any two regularly homotopic planar or spherical curves with at most n crossings, grows quadratically with respect to n. Furthermore, this can be done with all curves along the way having at most n + 2 crossings.
