We fix the torus ({mathbb {T}}^d_n) of dimension d and area n and equip it with the metric inherited from the Euclidean metric in ({mathbb {R}}^d). Then, embed consecutively n vertices in ({mathbb {T}}^d_n) uniformly at random and independently, and let each vertex but the first one connect to its (already embedded) nearest neighbor. Call the resulting graph (G_n). We show multiple results concerning the degree sequence of (G_n). First, we prove that typically the number of vertices of degree at least (kin {mathbb {N}}) in the d-NN tree decreases exponentially with k and is tightly concentrated by a new Lipschitz-type concentration inequality that may be of independent interest. Second, we obtain that the maximum degree of (G_n) is of logarithmic order. Third, we give explicit bounds for the number of leaves that are independent of the dimension and also give estimates for the number of paths of length two. Moreover, we show that typically the height of a uniformly chosen vertex in (G_n) is ((1+o(1))log n) and the diameter of ({mathbb {T}}^d_n) is ((2e+o(1))log n), independently of the dimension. Finally, we define a natural infinite analog (G_{infty }) of (G_n) and show that it corresponds to the local limit of the sequence of finite graphs ((G_n)_{n ge 1}). Furthermore, we prove almost surely that (G_{infty }) is locally finite, that the simple random walk on (G_{infty }) is recurrent, and that (G_{infty }) is connected.","PeriodicalId":20527,"journal":{"name":"Probability Theory and Related Fields","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A celebrated theorem of Jones (Acta Math 147(1-2):71–88, 1981) states that uniform domains in Euclidean space are extension domains for Sobolev spaces. In this work, we obtain a similar extension property for metric spaces equipped with a Dirichlet form whose heat kernel satisfies a sub-Gaussian estimate. We introduce a scale-invariant version of this extension property and apply it to show that the reflected diffusion process on such a uniform domain inherits various properties from the ambient space, such as Harnack inequalities, cutoff energy inequality, and sub-Gaussian heat kernel bounds. In particular, our work extends Neumann heat kernel estimates of Gyrya and Saloff-Coste (Astérisque 336:145, 2011) beyond the Gaussian space-time scaling. Furthermore, our estimates on the extension operator imply that the energy measure of the boundary of a uniform domain is always zero. This property of the energy measure is a broad generalization of Hino’s result (Probab Theory Relat Fields 156:739–793, 2013) that proves the vanishing of the energy measure on the outer square boundary of the standard Sierpiński carpet equipped with the self-similar Dirichlet form.","PeriodicalId":20527,"journal":{"name":"Probability Theory and Related Fields","volume":"238 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140035878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we develop a new approach to PCRs, with respect to strong norm distances on parameter spaces of functions. Critical to our approach is the combination of a local Lipschitz-continuity for the posterior distribution with a dynamic formulation of the Wasserstein distance, which allows to set forth an interesting connection between PCRs and some classical problems arising in mathematical analysis, probability and statistics, e.g., Laplace methods for approximating integrals, Sanov’s large deviation principles in the Wasserstein distance, rates of convergence of mean Glivenko–Cantelli theorems, and estimates of weighted Poincaré–Wirtinger constants. We first present a theorem on PCRs for a model in the regular infinite-dimensional exponential family, which exploits sufficient statistics of the model, and then extend such a theorem to a general dominated model. These results rely on the development of novel techniques to evaluate Laplace integrals and weighted Poincaré–Wirtinger constants in infinite-dimension, which are of independent interest. The proposed approach is applied to the regular parametric model, the multinomial model, the finite-dimensional and the infinite-dimensional logistic-Gaussian model and the infinite-dimensional linear regression. In general, our approach leads to optimal PCRs in finite-dimensional models, whereas for infinite-dimensional models it is shown explicitly how the prior distribution affect PCRs.\u0000","PeriodicalId":20527,"journal":{"name":"Probability Theory and Related Fields","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139952388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to make progress towards a proof of this conjecture. We consider a supercritical inhomogeneous random graph model with degree exponent (tau in (3, 4)) that is closely related to Aldous’s multiplicative coalescent, and show that the MST constructed by assigning i.i.d. continuous weights to the edges in its giant component, endowed with the tree distance scaled by (n^{-(tau -3)/(tau -1)}), converges in distribution with respect to the Gromov–Hausdorff topology to a random compact real tree. Further, almost surely, every point in this limiting space either has degree one (leaf), or two, or infinity (hub), both the set of leaves and the set of hubs are dense in this space, and the Minkowski dimension of this space equals ((tau -1)/(tau -3)). The multiplicative coalescent, in an asymptotic sense, describes the evolution of the component sizes of various near-critical random graph processes. We expect the limiting spaces in this paper to be the candidates for the scaling limit of the MST constructed for a wide array of other heavy-tailed random graph models.\u0000","PeriodicalId":20527,"journal":{"name":"Probability Theory and Related Fields","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139903742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
