An arXiv preprint gives an if-and-only-if characterization of independent increments for a specified class of non-negative random valuations. It also develops Poisson and geometric representations, while remaining entirely theoretical rather than empirical.
A new arXiv preprint argues that gradient-free random-walk Metropolis can retain positive worst-case acceptance for certain steep target distributions when proposal size is tied to curvature and local force. Its implications for mixing remain conditional on additional geometric assumptions.
Selected simulations found that an overshoot-based identity tracked martingale threshold crossings more closely than Ville’s bound, while the preprint extends the accounting to random times, finite-step paths and pooled tests.
A new arXiv preprint derives a Gumbel extreme-value law for the largest nearest-neighbour gap in a fixed bulk region of the complex Ginibre ensemble, with explicit centering corrections and numerical constants. The result is asymptotic, applies to the complex Gaussian model away from the spectral edge, and has not been checked by simulation or finite-size data.
