Simultaneous Pointwise Majorization for Mixed Tail Processes with Applications in Gaussian Chaos and Ergodic Diffusions

Abstract

Classical chaining controls an indexed stochastic process through a single worst-case bound and can therefore obscure substantial variation across the index set. We develop the first simultaneous pointwise majorization theory for Banach-valued processes with finite-metric mixed-tail increments. Suppose that an anchored process $(Z_t)_{t\in T}$ satisfies, for some integer $m\ge1$, pseudo-metrics $d_1,\ldots,d_m$, and orders $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m>0$, \begin{align*} \mathbb{P}\{\|Z_t-Z_s\|>\sum_{j=1}^m u^{1/\alpha_j}d_j(s,t)\}\le 2e^{-u},s,t\in T. \end{align*} For ambient priors $\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_m$, let $v_j(t):=d_j(t,t_0), \Phi_j(t):=\int_0^{4v_j(t)}(\log\frac{1}{\mu_j(B_{d_j}(t,r))})^{1/\alpha_j}dr$. We prove that, $\forall \delta\in(0,1)$, with probability at least $1-\delta$, simultaneously for all $t\in T$, \begin{align*} \|Z_t\|\le C_{m,\boldsymbol\alpha}\sum_{j=1}^m\{\Phi_j(t)+v_j(t)(\log(e/\delta))^{1/\alpha_j}\}. \end{align*} Here $\boldsymbol\alpha:=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m)$ and $C_{m,\boldsymbol\alpha}$ depend only on $m$ and these tail orders. The result subsumes single-metric sub-Weibull processes of every positive order as the case $m=1$. In the Gaussian setting, it sharpens the pointwise upper bound of \citet{xu2026} by eliminating the logarithmic terms generated by dyadic peeling. The proof retains the index-wise costs of measure-generated admissible chains and synchronizes the regimes through a nested common refinement. Finally, we apply our theorems to stationary diffusion empirical processes and decoupled Gaussian chaos to obtain simultaneous pointwise envelope bounds, which can further be applied to other statistics problems.

Averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection

In this paper, we study averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection. First, we derive a general averaging principle applicable to such equations under minimal assumptions. Subsequently, since the coefficients of the obtained averaged equation still depend on the small scaling parameter $\e$, we impose either periodic or asymptotic conditions on the coefficients, thereby obtain two distinct averaged equations whose coefficients are independent of $\e$ and establish two averaging principles. Stopping times and Khasminskii's time discretization schemes play an important role. Finally, a concrete example is provided to illustrate the applicability and validity of the theoretical results.

Spectral properties of Random Matrices

We give the theoretical foundations of random matrix theory through the definitions of a random matrix, a random probability measure and the corresponding empirical spectral distribution. The technical tool we use is the Stieltjes transform method through which we prove optimal convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of random sample covariance matrices to the deterministic Marchenko-Pastur distribution. We also give new results about the rigidity of the eigenvalues of this random sample covariance matrix and the rate of their convergence. We then define the Dyson equation method to prove new local laws about a random matrix model that interpolates between the Marchenko-Pastur distribution, the elliptical law and the circular law. Through our work these local laws can be considered universal.

Moments approach for the elephant random walk

We discuss the method of moments for the one-dimensional elephant random walk (ERW). We first derive a differential recurrence relation for the characteristic function of the ERW, which yields a corresponding system of recurrence relations for its moments. We then obtain asymptotic approximations for the moments in each of the three parameter regimes of the ERW. Finally, by establishing the convergence of the moments and verifying the corresponding moment-determinacy conditions, we identify the limiting distributions of the ERW in each regime.
