Random walks and quadratic number fields
Bence Borda
We establish a novel type of connection between random walks and analytic number theory. Working with a random walk on the circle group in which each step i…
Smoothing inequalities for transport metrics in compact spaces
Bence Borda, Jean-Claude Cuenin
We prove general upper estimates for the distance between two Borel probability measures in Wasserstein metric in terms of the Fourier transforms of the measures. We work in compac…
Equidistribution of continued fraction convergents in with an application to local discrepancy
Bence Borda
Consider the sequence of continued fraction convergents to a random irrational number. We study the distribution of the sequences and with a…
Limit laws for cotangent and Diophantine sums
Bence Borda, Lorenz Frühwirth, Manuel Hauke
Limit laws for ergodic averages with a power singularity over circle rotations were first proved by Sinai and Ulcigrai, as well as Dolgopyat and Fayad. In this paper, we prove limi…
