Limit theorems for pure death processes coming down from infinity

In this paper we treat a pure death process coming down from infinity as a natural generalization of the death process associated with the Kingman coalescent. We establish a number of limit theorems including a strong law of large numbers and a large deviation theorem.

Hölder continuity of the Lyapunov exponent for analytic quasiperiodic Schrödinger cocycle with weak Liouville frequency

For analytic quasiperiodic Schrödinger cocycles, Goldshtein and Schlag [Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states for quasi-periodic Schrödinger equations and averages of shifts of subharmonic functions. Ann. of Math. (2) 154 (2001), 155–203] proved that the Lyapunov exponent is Hölder continuous provided that the base frequency $\omega $ satisfies a strong Diophantine condition. In this paper, we give a refined large deviation theorem, which implies the Hölder continuity of the Lyapunov exponent for all Diophantine frequencies $\omega $, even for weak Liouville $\omega $, which improves the result of Goldshtein and Schlag.
