  1. On the Estimation of Integrated Covariance Matrices of High Dimensional Diffusion Processes.

    Authors: Xinghua Zheng, Yingying Li
    Subjects: Methodology
    Abstract

    We consider the estimation of integrated covariance matrices of high
    dimensional diffusion processes by using high frequency data. We start by
    studying the most commonly used estimator, the realized covariance matrix
    (RCV). We show that in the high dimensional case when the dimension p and the
    observation frequency n grow in the same rate, the limiting empirical spectral
    distribution of RCV depends on the covolatility processes not only through the
    underlying integrated covariance matrix Sigma, but also on how the covolatility
    processes vary in time.

  2. Critical Branching Random Walks with Small Drift.

    Abstract

    We study critical branching random walks (BRWs) $U^{(n)}$ on $\zz{Z}_{+}$
    where for each $n$, the displacement of an offspring from its parent has drift
    $2\beta/\sqrt{n}$ towards the origin and reflection at the origin. We prove
    that conditional on survival to generation $n^{\alpha}$, the maximal
    displacement is $O_p(\sqrt{n^\alpha})$ if $\alpha \leq 1$ and is asymptotically
    equivalent to $(\alpha-1)/(4\beta)\cdot \sqrt{n}\log n$ if $\alpha>1$.

  3. The random conductance model with Cauchy tails.

    Abstract

    We consider a random walk in an i.i.d. Cauchy-tailed conductances
    environment. We obtain a quenched functional CLT for the suitably rescaled
    random walk, and, as a key step in the arguments, we improve the local limit
    theorem for $p^\om_{n^2 t}(0,y)$ in [BD09, Theorem 5.14] to a result which
    gives uniform convergence for $p^\om_{n^2 t}(x,y)$ for all $x, y$ in a ball.
