Let $\{X(t), t\in M\}$ and $\{Z(t'), t'\in M'\}$ be smooth Gaussian random fields parameterized on Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $M'$, respectively, such that $X(t) = Z(f(t))$, where $f: M \to M'$ is a diffeomorphic transformation. We study…

We study the total mass of high points in a random model for the Riemann-Zeta function. We consider the same model as in [8], [2], and build on the convergence to 'Gaussian' multiplicative chaos proved in [14]. We show that the total mass…

Higher criticism is a large-scale testing procedure that can attain the optimal detection boundary for sparse and faint signals. However, there has been a lack of knowledge in most existing works about its asymptotic distribution for more…

We consider a product of an arbitrary number of independent rectangular Gaussian random matrices. We derive the mean densities of its eigenvalues and singular values in the thermodynamic limit, eventually verified numerically. These…

The goal of this paper is to quantitatively describe some statistical properties of higher-dimensional determinantal point processes with a primary focus on the nearest-neighbor distribution functions. Toward this end, we express these…
