The Lucas-Moll system is a mean-field game type model describing the growth of an economy by means of diffusion of knowledge. The individual agents in the economy advance their knowledge by learning from each other and via internal innovation. Their cumulative distribution function satisfies a forward in time nonlinear non-local reaction-diffusion type equation. On the other hand, the learning strategy of the agents is based on the solution to a backward in time nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation that is coupled to the aforementioned equation for the agents density. Together, these equations form a system of the mean-field game type. When the learning rate is sufficiently large, existence of balanced growth path solutions to the Lucas-Moll system was proved in~cite{PRV,Porretta-Rossi}. Here, we analyze a complementary regime where the balanced growth paths do not exist. The main result is a long time convergence theorem. Namely, the solution to the initial-terminal value problem behaves in such a way that at large times an overwhelming majority of the agents spend no time producing at all and are only learning. In particular, the agents density propagates at the Fisher-KPP speed. We name this type of solutions a lottery society.

We consider the stochastic reaction-diffusion equation in $1+1$ dimensions driven by multiplicative space-time white noise, with a distributional drift belonging to a Besov-H"older space with any regularity index larger than $-1$. We assume that the diffusion coefficient is a regular function which is bounded away from zero. By using a combination of stochastic sewing techniques and Malliavin calculus, we show that the equation admits a unique solution.

Bony's paraproduct is one of the main tools in the theory of paracontrolled calculus. The paraproduct is usually defined via Fourier analysis, so it is not a local operator. In the previous researches [7, 8], however, the author proved that the pointwise estimate like (1.2) holds for the paraproduct and its iterated versions when the sum of the regularities is smaller than 1. The aim of this article is to extend these results for higher regularities.

The Potts spin glass is an analogue of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in which each spin can take one of $kappa$ possible values, which we interpret as colors. It was suggested in arXiv:2310.06745 that the order parameter for this model is always invariant with respect to permutations of the colors. We show here that this is false whenever $kappa ge 58$.

We study the statistics of the Mallows measure on permutations in the limit pioneered by Starr (2009). Our main result is the local central limit theorem for its height function. We also re-derive versions of the law of large numbers and the large deviation principle, obtain the standard central limit theorem from the local one, and establish a multi-point version of the local central limit theorem.

If one seeks to estimate the total variation between two product measures $||P^otimes_{1:n}-Q^otimes_{1:n}||$ in terms of their marginal TV sequence $delta=(||P_1-Q_1||,||P_2-Q_2||,ldots,||P_n-Q_n||)$, then trivial upper and lower bounds are provided by$ ||delta||_infty le ||P^otimes_{1:n}-Q^otimes_{1:n}||le||delta||_1$. We improve the lower bound to $||delta||_2lesssim||P^otimes_{1:n}-Q^otimes_{1:n}||$, thereby reducing the gap between the upper and lower bounds from $sim n$ to $simsqrt $. Furthermore, we show that {em any} estimate on $||P^otimes_{1:n}-Q^otimes_{1:n}||$ expressed in terms of $delta$ must necessarily exhibit a gap of $simsqrt n$ between the upper and lower bounds in the worst case, establishing a sense in which our estimate is optimal. Finally, we identify a natural class of distributions for which $||delta||_2$ approximates the TV distance up to absolute multiplicative constants.

For the Moran model with strong or moderately strong selection we prove that the fluctuations around the deterministic limit of the line counting process of the ancestral selection graph converges to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. To this purpose we provide an extension of a functional limit theorem by Ethier and Kurtz 1986. This result and a small adaptation of our arguments can also be used to obtain the scaling limit for the fluctuations of certain logistic branching processes.

We establish a log-Sobolev inequality for the stationary distribution of mean-field Langevin dynamics with a constant that is independent of the number of particles $N$. Our proof proceeds by establishing the existence of a Lipschitz transport map from the standard Gaussian measure via the reverse heat flow of Kim and Milman.

Subordinators are infinitely divisible distributions on the positive half-line. They are often used as mixing distributions in Poisson mixtures. We show that appropriately scaled Poisson mixtures can approximate the mixing subordinator and we derive a rate of convergence in $L^p$ for each $pin[1,infty]$. This includes the Kolmogorov and Wasserstein metrics as special cases. As an application, we develop an approach for approximate simulation of the underlying subordinator. In the interest of generality, we present our results in the context of more general mixtures, specifically those that can be represented as differences of randomly stopped L'evy processes. Particular focus is given to the case where the subordinator belongs to the class of tempered stable distributions.
