Minimal conditions on random vector $X \in R^n$ to ensure that $\lim_{t\to 0^+}\sup_{\|w\|_p = 1}\sup_{u \in \mathbb R}\mathbb P(|X'w-u| \le t)=0$
Let $X$ be a random variable on $\mathbb R^n$ and let $S_p^n := \{w \in \mathbb R^n \mid \|w\|_p = 1\}$ be the unit-sphere w.r.t to the $\ell_p$-norm in $\mathbb R^n$. We will be particularly ...

Strong data-processing inequality ? Upper bound on a certain modified total-variation metric
Let $\mathcal X=(\mathcal X,d)$ be a Polish space equipped with the Borel sigma-algebra. Let $p\ge 1$ and $P_1,P_2$ be probability distributions on $\mathcal X$ such that $\max_{k=1,2}\int d(x,x_0)^...

Bounds on $\inf_{x,x' \in \mathbb B_X}TV(P+x,Q+x')$, where $P$ and $Q$ are distributions with density on the space $X=(\mathbb R^n,\ell_p)$
Let $n \ge 1$ be an integer, $p \in [1,\infty]$, and $P$ and $Q$ be two (probability) measures on the metric space space $X=(\mathbb R^n,\ell_p)$ which have densities w.r.t the Lebesgue measure on $X$,...
