Bruss","doi":"10.1214/20-PS351","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1214/20-PS351","url":null,"abstract":"This article is a survey of results concerning an inequality, which may be seen as a versatile tool to solve problems in the domain of Applied Probability. The inequality, which we call BRS-inequality, gives a convenient upper bound for the expected maximum number of non-negative random variables one can sum up without exceeding a given upper bound s > 0. One valuable property of the BRS-inequality is that it is valid without any hypothesis about independence of the random variables. Another welcome feature is that, once one sees that one can use it in a given problem, its application is often straightforward or not very involved. This survey is focussed, and we hope that it is pleasant and inspiring to read. Focus is easy to achieve, given that the BRS-inequality and its most useful versions can be displayed in five Theorems and their proofs. We try to present these in an appealing way. The objective to be inspiring is harder, and the best we can think of is offering a variety of applications. Our examples include comparisons between sums of i.i.d. versus non-identically distributed and/or dependent random variables, problems of condensing point processes, awkward processes, monotone subsequence problems, knapsack problems, online algorithms, tiling policies, Borel-Cantelli type problems, up to applications in the theory of resource dependent branching processes. Apart from our wish to present the inequality in an organised way, the motivation for this survey is the hope that interested readers may see potential of the inequality for their own problems.

Each such model consists of a pricing kernel, a money market account, and one or more risky assets. The Poisson random measure is associated with an $n$-dimensional Levy process. We show that the excess rate of return of a risky asset in a pure-jump model is given by an integral of the product of a term representing the riskiness of the asset and a term representing the level of market risk aversion. The integral is over the state space of the Poisson random measure and is taken with respect to the Levy measure associated with the $n$-dimensional Levy process. The resulting framework is applied to the theory of interest rates and foreign exchange, allowing one to construct new models as well as various generalizations of familiar models.","PeriodicalId":46216,"journal":{"name":"Probability Surveys","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44436326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stochastic models classically used in this context to describe the time evolution of the numbers of mRNAs and proteins are presented and discussed. An extension of these models, which includes elongation phases of mRNAs and proteins, is introduced. A convergence result to equilibrium for the process associated to the number of proteins and mRNAs is proved and a representation of this equilibrium as a functional of a Poisson process in an extended state space is obtained. Explicit expressions for the first two moments of the number of mRNAs and proteins at equilibrium are derived, generalizing some classical formulas. Approximations used in the biological literature for the equilibrium distribution of the number of proteins are discussed and investigated in the light of these results. Several convergence results for the distribution of the number of proteins at equilibrium are in particular obtained under different scaling assumptions.","PeriodicalId":46216,"journal":{"name":"Probability Surveys","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49494633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasis is given on the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and its geometric lifting due to A.N.Kirillov and we present how these are used to analyse the structure of solvable models in the KPZ class and lead to computation of their statistics via connecting to representation theoretic objects such as Schur, Macdonald and Whittaker functions. We also present how fundamental representation theoretic concepts, such as the Cauchy identity, the Pieri rule and the branching rule can be used, alongside RSK correspondences, and can be combined with probabilistic ideas, in order to construct stochastic dynamics on two dimensional arrays called Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns, in ways that couple different one dimensional stochastic processes.
