Possible forms of obstructed atomic limits in quasi-one-dimensional systems are studied using line group symmetry. This is accomplished by revisiting the standard theory with an emphasis on its group-theoretical background, synthesizing the…
We obtain the large deviation functional of a density profile for the asymmetric exclusion process of L sites with open boundary conditions when the asymmetry scales like 1/L. We recover as limiting cases the expressions derived recently…
We discuss the limiting spectral density of real symmetric random matrices. Other than in standard random matrix theory the upper diagonal entries are not assumed to be independent, but we will fill them with the entries of a stochastic…
We consider the case with boundary of the classical Kazdan-Warner problem in dimension greater or equal than three, i.e. the prescription of scalar and boundary mean curvatures via conformal deformations of the metric. We deal in particular…
We study Hermitian random matrix models with an external source matrix which has equispaced eigenvalues, and with an external field such that the limiting mean density of eigenvalues is supported on a single interval as the dimension tends…
We completely classify the asymptotic behavior of the number of alternating sign matrices classically avoiding a single permutation pattern, in the sense of [Johansson and Linusson 2007]. In particular, we give a uniform proof of an…
We study numerically various wave functions in a gauged matrix quantum mechanics of six commuting hermitian $N\times N$ matrices. Our simulations span ranges of $N$ up to 10000. This system is a truncated and quenched version of N=4 SYM…
We consider an overdetermined problem for the Finsler Laplacian in the exterior of a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, establishing a symmetry result for the anisotropic capacitary potential. Our result extends the one of W. Reichel [Arch.…
The saddle point equation described by the eigenvalues of N by N Hermitian matrices is analized for a finite N case and the scaling relation for the large N is considered. The critical point and the critical exponents of matrix model are…
We consider $n\times n$ non-Hermitian random matrices with independent entries and a variance profile, as well as an additive deterministic diagonal deformation. We show that their empirical eigenvalue distribution converges to a limiting…
We analyse the singularity formation of congruences of solutions of systems of second order PDEs via the construction of \emph{shape maps}. The trace of such maps represents a congruence volume whose collapse we study through an appropriate…
Mixtures of $r$ independent distributions for two discrete random variables can be represented by matrices of nonnegative rank $r$. Likelihood inference for the model of such joint distributions leads to problems in real algebraic geometry…
We present a general technique for addressing sign problems that arise in Monte Carlo simulations of field theories. This method deforms the domain of the path integral to a manifold in complex field space that maximizes the average sign…
Vertically symmetric alternating sign matrices (VSASMs) of order $2n+1$ are known to be equinumerous with lozenge tilings of a hexagon with side lengths $2n+2$, $2n$, $2n+2$, $2n$, $2n+2$, $2n$ and a central triangular hole of size $2$ that…
We study the asymptotics for sparse exponential random graph models where the parameters may depend on the number of vertices of the graph. We obtain exact estimates for the mean and variance of the limiting probability distribution and the…
Consider a rectangular matrix describing some type of communication or transportation between a set of origins and a set of destinations, or a classification of objects by two attributes. The problem is to infer the entries of the matrix…
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has emerged as a powerful technique for large-scale structured optimization. Despite many recent results on the convergence properties of ADMM, a quantitative characterization of the…
In a quantum system, there may be many density matrices associated with a state on an algebra of observables. For each density matrix, one can compute its entropy. These are in general different. Therefore one reaches the remarkable…
The two-dimensional Ising model is studied at the boundary of a half-infinite cylinder. The three regular lattices (square, triangular and hexagonal) and the three regimes (sub-, super- and critical) are discussed. The probability of having…
We study large deviations in interacting quantum liquids with the polytropic equation of state $P(\rho)\sim \rho^\gamma$, where $\rho$ is density and $P$ is pressure. By solving hydrodynamic equations in imaginary time we evaluate the…
