We study a regularization by noise phenomenon for the continuous parabolic Anderson model with a potential shifted along paths of fractional Brownian motion. We demonstrate that provided the Hurst parameter is chosen sufficiently small, this shift allows to establish well-posedness and stability to the corresponding problem - without the need of renormalization - in any dimension. We moreover provide a robustified Feynman-Kac type formula for the unique solution to the regularized problem building upon regularity estimates for the local time of fractional Brownian motion as well as non-linear Young integration.

The Stein couplings of Chen and Roellin (2010) vastly expanded the range of applications for which coupling constructions in Stein's method for normal approximation could be applied, and subsumed both Stein's classical exchangeable pair, as well as the size bias coupling. A further simple generalization includes zero bias couplings, and also allows for situations where the coupling is not exact. The zero bias versions result in bounds for which often tedious computations of a variance of a conditional expectation is not required. An example to the Lightbulb process shows that even though the method may be simple to apply, it may yield improvements over previous results that had achieved bounds with optimal rates and small, explicit constants.

We analyse the eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of the Erdős-Rényi graph on N vertices with edge probability d N . We determine the full region of delocalization by determining the critical values of d log N down to which delocalization persists: for d log N > 1 log 4−1 all eigenvectors are completely delocalized, and for d log N > 1 all eigenvectors with eigenvalues away from the spectral edges are completely delocalized. Below these critical values, it is known [1, 3] that localized eigenvectors exist in the corresponding spectral regions.

We show that the subset of all probability measures which belong to the domain of attraction of some multivariate extreme value distributions is dense and of the first Baire category. In addition, the analogue result holds in the context of free probability theory.

In this short note, we prove a central limit theorem for a type of replica overlap of the Brownian directed polymer in a Gaussian random environment, in the low temperature regime and in all dimensions. The proof relies on a superconcentration result for the KPZ equation driven by a spatially mollified noise, which is inspired by the recent work of Chatterjee [14].

We prove the sharpness of the percolation phase transition for a class of Cox percolation models, i.e., models of continuum percolation in a random environment. The key requirements are that the environment has a finite range of dependence, satisfies a local boundedness condition and can be constructed from a discrete iid random field, however the FKG inequality need not hold. The proof combines the OSSS inequality with a coarse-graining construction that allows us to compare different notions of influence.

It has been discovered that the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation governs the distribution of the fluctuation of many random growth models. In particular, the Tracy-Widom distributions appear as special self-similar solutions of the KP equation. We prove that the anti-derivative of the Baik-Rains distribution, which governs the fluctuation of the models in the KPZ universality class starting with stationary initial data, satisfies the KP equation. The result is first derived formally by taking a limit of the generating function of the KPZ equation, which satisfies the KP equation. Then we prove it directly using the explicit Painlevé II formulation of the Baik-Rains distribution. the long-time fluctuations of models which belong to the KPZ universality class. A 1 ( x ) is a stationary process, whose one-point distribution is the Tracy-Widom GOE distribution. The one point marginal of A 2 ( x ) is given by the Tracy-Widom GUE distribution. The one point marginal of A stat ( x ) is given by the Baik-Rains distribution.
