In this short note, we extend to the continuous case a mean projection theorem for discrete determinantal point processes associated with a finite range projection, thus strengthening a known result in random linear algebra due to Ermakov and Zolotukhin. We also give a new formula for the variance of the exterior power of the random projection.

For the renormalised sums of the random $pm 1$-colouring of the connected components of $mathbb Z$ generated by the coalescing renewal processes in the"power law P'olya's urn"of Hammond and Sheffield we prove functional convergence towards fractional Brownian motion, closing a gap in the tightness argument of their paper. In addition, in the regime of the strong renewal theorem we gain insights into the coalescing renewal processes in the Hammond-Sheffield urn (such as the asymptotic depth of most recent common ancestors) and are able to control the coalescence probabilities of two, three and four individuals that are randomly sampled from $[n]$. This allows us to obtain a new, conceptual proof of the asymptotic Gaussianity (including the functional convergence) of the renormalised sums of more general colourings, which can be seen as an invariance principle beyond the main result of Hammond and Sheffield. In this proof, a key ingredient of independent interest is a sufficient criterion for the asymptotic Gaussianity of the renormalised sums in randomly coloured random partitions of $[n]$, based on Stein's method. Along the way we also prove a statement on the asymptotics of the coalescence probabilities in the long-range seedbank model of Blath, Gonz'alez Casanova, Kurt, and Span`o.

. In this paper we provide a probabilistic representation of Lagrange’s identity which we use to obtain Papathanasiou-type variance expansions of arbitrary order. Our expansions lead to generalized sequences of weights which depend on an arbitrarily chosen sequence of (non-decreasing) test functions. The expansions hold for univariate target distribution under weak assumptions, in particular they hold for continuous and lattice distributions alike. The weights are studied under different sets of assumptions either on the test functions or on the underlying distributions. Many concrete illustrations for standard probability distributions are provided (including Pearson, Ord, Laplace, Rayleigh, Cauchy, and Levy distributions).

The notion provides a new version of exchangeability, which is a joint version of hierarchical exchangeability defined in Jung, L., Staton, Yang (2020). We also prove the existence of a generic representation by independent uniform random variables.

. We provide scaling limits for the block counting process and the fixation line of Λ coalescents as the initial state n tends to infinity under the assumption that the measure Λ on [0 , 1] satisfies (cid:82) [0 , 1] u − 1 | Λ − bλ | (d u ) < ∞ for some b ≥ 0 . Here λ denotes the Lebesgue measure on [0 , 1] . The main result states that the block counting process, properly transformed, converges in the Skorohod space to a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process as n tends to infinity. The result is applied to beta coalescents with parameters 1 and b > 0 . We split the generators into two parts by additively decomposing Λ into a ‘Bolthausen–Sznitman part’ bλ and a ‘dust part’ Λ − bλ and then prove the uniform convergence of both parts separately.

We study the simple random walk on the configuration model with given degree sequence (d1 , . . . , d n n) and investigate the connected components of its vacant set at level u > 0. We show that the size of the maximal connected component exhibits a phase transition at level u∗ which can be related with the critical parameter of random interlacements on a certain Galton-Watson tree. We further show that there is a critical window of size n−1/3 around u∗ in which the largest connected components of the vacant set have a metric space scaling limit resembling the one of the critical Erdős-Rényi random graph.

. In this paper, we consider a “parabolic” scaling limit of tagged particle dynamics and that of empirical measure of the position of particles for stochastic ranking process with space-time dependent intensities. A stochastic ranking process is driven according to an algorithm for a self-organizing linear list of a finite number of items. We regard this process as a particle system. We fasten a tag to a “particle” (item) and observe the (normalized) motion of the “tagged particle”. We obtain a sum of diffusion processes between each two successive jump time for a “parabolic” scaling limit of tagged particle dynamics. In order to obtain the diffusion process, we have to observe a “parabolic” scaling limit of empirical measure of the position of particles. We also obtain a generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for a “parabolic” scaling limit of empirical measure of the position of particles.
