Abstract

We prove that there exist positive constants $A$ and $V$ such that the high-dimensional critical percolation $k$-point function is given by \[ T_{p_c}(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_{k}) \sim V^{k-2} A^{2k-3} \sum_{T\in \mathsf{Tr}(k)} \sum_{\substack{\Phi:V(T)\to \mathbb{Z}^d \\ \Phi(i)=x_i \forall 1\leq i \leq k}} \prod_{\substack{u,v\in V(T)\\u\sim v}}G(\Phi(u),\Phi(v)) \] as $\min_{i\neq j}\|x_i-x_j\|\to \infty$, where $\mathsf{Tr}(k)$ is a set of isomorphism class representatives of trees with $k$ labelled leaves $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ and unlabelled internal vertices all of which have degree $3$ and $G$ is the lattice Green's function. This verifies a conjecture of Aizenman and Newman (1984) subject to the usual perturbative conditions needed for convergence of the lace expansion. It follows from this theorem that the law of the cluster of the origin, considered as the counting measure on its range, converges under rescaling to the canonical measure of the integrated super-Brownian excursion. By computing the asymptotics of various more complicated variations on the $k$-point function, we also prove the stronger result that the cluster converges as an embedded metric-measure space to the continuum random tree equipped with its Brownian embedding into $\mathbb{R}^d$. This convergence holds simultaneously with respect to the chemical distance, pivotal distance, and resistance distance on the cluster, which we prove are asymptotic to constant multiples of each other. This resolves conjectures of Hara and Slade (1998) and van der Hofstad and Slade (2003). As a corollary of our results we prove that there exists a positive constant $C$ such that $\mathbb{P}_{p_c}(0\leftrightarrow \mathbb{Z}^d \setminus [-r,r]^d)\sim C r^{-2}$, answering a question of Heydenreich and van der Hofstad (2017).

Sharp Convex Concentration for Symmetric Random Tensors with Subgaussian Coordinates

Let $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ have independent coordinates with mean zero, variance one, and $\|X_i\|_{\psi_2}\le K$, and let $H_d=(\mathbb R^n)^{\otimes_2 d}$. Let $L>0$ and let $f:H_d\to\mathbb R$ be convex and $L$-Lipschitz. We prove that, for $0\le t\le c_KLn^{d/2}$, \[ \textsf{P}\left\{ \left\lvert f(X^{\otimes d})-\textsf{E}f(X^{\otimes d})\right\rvert>t \right\} \le C\exp\left[-c_K\mathcal I_{n,d}\left( \frac{t}{L n^{(d-1)/2}} \right)\right], \] where \[ \mathcal I_{n,d}(s)= \min\left\{ \frac{s^2}{d^2}, \frac{s^2}{d\log(e+nd/s^2)} \right\},\qquad s>0, \qquad \mathcal I_{n,d}(0)=0. \] The first rate is forced by changes in $\|X\|$. The second comes from changes of $X$ when its norm is nearly fixed. The proof constructs one coupling that controls both the coordinatewise conditional displacement and the mean squared Euclidean distance, and combines these bounds with a second-order estimate for $x\mapsto x^{\otimes d}$. The rate is minimax sharp, scale by scale, even when the subgaussian norms are bounded by an absolute constant. For bounded coordinates the logarithm in the second rate disappears.

A new hyperbolicity wedge and a joint semicircle limit for Jensen polynomials of Riemann's $\xi$-function

Let \[ \xi\!\left(\frac12+z\right) =\sum_{n\geq 0}\frac{\gamma(n)}{n!}z^{2n}, \qquad J^{d,n}(X) =\sum_{j=0}^{d}\binom dj\gamma(n+j)X^j . \] The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of $J^{d,n}$ for every $d,n\geq0$. We prove that there is an absolute constant $K>0$ such that \[ n^3\log^2(n+2)\geq Kd^5 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad J^{d,n}\ \text{is hyperbolic}. \] Along every sequence with $n,d\to\infty$ in this region, the empirical measure of the naturally centered and scaled zeros also converges to Wigner's semicircle law. This gives a simultaneous degree--derivative version of the global semicircle consequence of the fixed-degree Hermite limit of Griffin, Ono, Rolen, and Zagier.

Hausdorff dimension of $\tau$-approximable points on self-similar sets in $\mathbb R^d$

Let $d\geq 1$. Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a non-singleton self-similar set generated by a finite strongly irreducible iterated function system satisfying the open set condition, and let $\delta=\dim_{\mathrm H} K$. For $\tau>1/d$, set \[ W_d(\tau) = \left\{ \mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^d: |q\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{p}|<q^{-\tau} \text{ for infinitely many }(\mathbf{p},q)\in\mathbb{Z}^d\times\mathbb{N} \right\}. \] We prove that there exists $\varepsilon_K>0$ such that, for every $1/d<\tau<1/d+\varepsilon_K$, \[ \mathcal{H}^{s(\tau)}(K\cap W_d(\tau))=\infty, \qquad\text{with } s(\tau):=\delta+\frac{d+1}{1+\tau}-d, \] and consequently \[ \dim_{\mathrm H}(K\cap W_d(\tau)) = \delta+\frac{d+1}{1+\tau}-d. \] In dimension one, specializing to the middle-third Cantor set, this establishes the Bugeaud--Durand conjectural formula for $\tau>1$ sufficiently close to $1$.

Critical cyclicity in Dirichlet-type spaces on the bidisk

Consider the Dirichlet-type spaces on the bidisc defined by $$\mathcal{D}_{\beta}(\mathbb{D}^2)=\Bigg\{f(z_1,z_2)=\sum_{k,l}a_{kl}z_1^kz_2^l\in\mathcal{O}(\mathbb{D}^2): \sum_{k,l\ge 0}|a_{kl}|^2(k+l+1)^{\beta}<+\infty\Bigg\}.$$ Given $\beta_c\in(0,2],$ we construct a function $f$ that belongs to the Dirichlet-type space $\mathcal D_{2}(\mathbb{D}^2)$ of the bidisk and is cyclic in $\mathcal D_\beta(\mathbb{D}^2)$ if and only if $\beta\leq \beta_{c}.$ We also show that the critical index satisfies $\beta_c=2-\mathrm{dim}_H(\mathcal{Z}(f)\cap \mathbb{T}^2),$ where $\mathrm{dim_H}(\mathcal{Z}(f)\cap \mathbb{T}^2)$ is the Hausdorff dimension of the zero set of the function $f$ on the two-torus $\mathbb{T}^2.$

Multi-Parameter Exponential Sums with Product Hilbert Kernels

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniform boundedness of the multi-parameter exponential sums with product Hilbert kernels $$\sum_{1\le|t_1|\le N_1,\cdots,1\le|t_k|\le N_k} \frac{e^{2\pi i P(t_1,\dots,t_k)}}{t_1\cdots t_k},$$ where $P:\mathbb{Z}^k\to\mathbb{R}$ is a polynomial of the form $P(t)=\sum_{\mathfrak{m}\in \Lambda} c_{\mathfrak{m}}\, t^{\mathfrak{m}},$ with real coefficients. The resulting bound is uniform in both the coefficients $c_{\mathfrak m}$ and the truncation parameters $N_1,\ldots,N_k$. To this end, we develop a higher-dimensional version of the multi-parameter circle method. Under the sufficient condition, we further prove $\ell^p$-boundedness of the associated discrete multiple Hilbert transform.

Absolute continuity of two-dimensional polynomial random vectors

Let $X=\{X_j\}_{j=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of independent random variables whose densities and moments of order $2d$ are uniformly bounded. For a random vector $f(X)=(f_1(X),f_2(X))$ whose components are polynomial functionals of degree at most $d$, we prove that \[ [[f]]_{\mu,\infty}^{\frac1{2d-1}}\mu(f\in A) \le C\bigl(\lambda_2(A)\bigr)^{\frac1{2d-1}} \] for every Borel set $A\subset\mathbb R^2$, where $C$ depends only on $d$ and the uniform density and moment bounds, and $\lambda_2$ denotes the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R^2$. Here $[[f]]_{\mu,\infty}$ measures the failure of proportionality of the highest-order orthogonal-chaos components of $f_1$ and $f_2$ with respect to the law $\mu$ of $X$. Consequently, whenever these components are not proportional, the law of $f$ admits a density in the weak Lorentz space $L^{\frac{2d-1}{2d-2},\infty}(\mathbb R^2)$. This recovers the dichotomy established by Nualart and Tudor for two-dimensional Wiener chaos vectors and extends it beyond the Gaussian setting. We also obtain the lower bound \[ \int_{\mathbb R^\infty}\Delta_f\,d\mu \ge C[[f]]_{\mu,\infty}^2, \] where $\Delta_f$ is the determinant of the Gram matrix of $\nabla f_1$ and $\nabla f_2$. In the special case of Gaussian measures, this gives a relaxed version of the estimate conjectured by Nourdin, Nualart, and Poly.
