On the Use of the Generalized Littlewood Theorem Concerning Integrals of the Logarithm of Analytical Functions for the Calculation of Infinite Sums and the Analysis of Zeroes of Analytical Functions

Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calcul ...

Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm and exact moduli of continuity for a class of anisotropic Gaussian random fields

Cheuk Yin Lee

We establish a Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm and the exact local and uniform moduli of continuity for a large class of anisotropic Gaussian random fields with a harmonizable-type integral representation and the property of strong local nondeterm ...

Propagation of singularities for the stochastic wave equation

Cheuk Yin Lee

We study the existence and propagation of singularities of the solution to a one-dimensional linear stochastic wave equation driven by an additive Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space. Our approach is based on a simultaneous law of the ...

How Valuable Is Financial Flexibility when Revenue Stops? Evidence from the COVID-19 Crisis

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach, Kevin Marc Rageth

Firms with greater financial flexibility should be better able to fund a revenue shortfall resulting from the COVID-19 shock and benefit less from policy responses. We find that firms with high financial flexibility within an industry experience a stock pr ...

On the Size of K-Cross-Free Families

János Pach, Andrei Kupavskii, Istvan Tomon

Two subsets A,B of an n-element ground set X are said to be crossing, if none of the four sets AB, A\B, B\A and X(AB) are empty. It was conjectured by Karzanov and Lomonosov forty years ago that if a family F of subsets of X does not contain k pairwise cr ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Essays on Capital Calculation in Insurance

Mathieu Jacques David Cambou

In order to be able to bear the risk they are taking, insurance companies have to set aside a certain amount of cushion that can guarantee the payment of liabilities, up to a dened probability, and thus to remain solvent in case of bad events. This amount ...

Asymptotics of action variables near semi-toric singularities

The presence of focus-focus singularities in semi-toric integrables Hamiltonian systems is one of the reasons why there cannot exist global Action-Angle coordinates on such systems. At focus-focus critical points, the Liouville-Arnold-Mineur theorem does n ...

Intermediation in a Sharing Economy: Insurance, Moral Hazard, and Rent Extraction

Thomas Alois Weber

Electronic intermediaries have become pervasive in sales transactions for many durables, such as cars, power tools, and apartments. Yet only recently have they successfully tackled the challenge of enabling parties to share such goods. A key impediment to ...

Tuning the length dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by ball milling

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Claudio Grimaldi, Richard Gaal, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Rita Smajda, Primoz Rebernik Ribic

The statistical analysis of the length distribution of catalytic chemical vapour deposition synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes cut by planetary ball milling is reported. The nanotube lengths follow a log-normal distribution in a broad range of grind ...

Extended Formulations, Nonnegative Factorizations, and Randomized Communication Protocols

Yuri Faenza, Hans Raj Tiwary

We show that the binary logarithm of the nonnegative rank of a nonnegative matrix is, up to small constants, equal to the minimum complexity of a randomized communication protocol computing the matrix in expectation. We use this connection to prove new con ...

Propriétés fines des trajectoires du mouvement brownien fractionnaire

Let X = {X(t); t ∈ RN} be a (N,d) fractional Brownian motion in Rd of index H ∈ (0,1). We study the local time of X for all temporal dimensions N and spatial dimensions d for which local time exist. We obtain two main results : R1. If we denote by Lx(I) th ...
