We consider the ensemble of $N\times N$ ($N\gg 1$) symmetric random matrices with the bimodal independent distribution of matrix elements: each element could be either "1" with the probability $p$, or "0" otherwise. We pay attention to the…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and define the rational function $S(x_1,\ldots,x_{2n})$ as the permanent of the matrix $[x_{j,k}]_{1\le j,k\le 2n}$, where $$x_{j,k}=\begin{cases}(x_j+x_k)/(x_j-x_k)&\text{if}\ j\not=k,\\1&\text{if}\…

In this paper we report on new results relating to a conjecture regarding properties of $n\times n$, $n\leq 6$, positive definite matrices. The conjecture has been proven for $n\leq 4$ using computer-assisted sum of squares (SoS) methods…

Two results concerning the number of threshold functions $P(2, n)$ and the probability ${\mathbb P}_n$ that a random $n\times n$ Bernoulli matrix is singular are established. We introduce a supermodular function $\eta^{\bigstar}_n : 2^{{\bf…

Computing the distribution of permanents of random matrices has been an outstanding open problem for several decades. In quantum computing, "anti-concentration" of this distribution is an unproven input for the proof of hardness of the task…

We prove the almost sure invariance principle with rate $o(n^{\varepsilon})$ for every $\varepsilon > 0$ for H\"older continuous observables on nonuniformly expanding and nonuniformly hyperbolic transformations with exponential tails.…

A well-known conjecture asserts that, for any given positive real number $\lambda$ and nonnegative integer $m$, the proportion of positive integers $n \le x$ for which the interval $(n,n + \lambda\log n]$ contains exactly $m$ primes is…

In this article we consider products of real random matrices with fixed size. Let $A_1,A_2, \dots $ be i.i.d $k \times k$ real matrices, whose entries are independent and identically distributed from probability measure $\mu$. Let $X_n =…

We give an elementary proof of a Caratheodory-type result on the invertibility of a sum of matrices, due first to Facchini and Barioli. The proof yields a polynomial identity, expressing the determinant of a large sum of matrices in terms…

In this paper, we obtain almost sure invariance principles with rate of order $n^{1/p}\log^\beta n$, $2< p\le 4$, for sums associated to a sequence of reverse martingale differences. Then, we apply those results to obtain similar…

Consider a discrete-time one-dimensional supercritical branching random walk. We study the probability that there exists an infinite ray in the branching random walk that always lies above the line of slope $\gamma-\epsilon$, where $\gamma$…

We provide exact and asymptotic formulae for the number of unrestricted, respectively indecomposable, $d$-dimensional matrices where the sum of all matrix entries with one coordinate fixed equals 2.

In this note, we study a class of random subsets of positive integers induced by Bernoulli random variables. We obtain sufficient conditions such that the random set is almost surely lacunary, does not have bounded gaps and contains…

We define a random commuting $d$-tuple of $n$-by-$n$ matrices to be a random variable that takes values in the set of commuting $d$-tuples and has a distribution that is a rapidly decaying continuous weight on this algebraic set. In the…

In contrast to the determinant, no algorithm is known for the exact determination of the permanent of a square matrix that runs in time polynomial in its dimension. Consequently, non interacting fermions are classically efficiently…

We study finite but growing principal square submatrices $A_n$ of the one- or two-sided infinite Fibonacci Hamiltonian $A$. Our results show that such a sequence $(A_n)$, no matter how the points of truncation are chosen, is always stable…

Consider the set of scalars $\alpha$ for which the $\alpha$th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. It is known that this set is of the form $\{0, 1, \dots, n-3\}\cup…

We show that several monoids of non-negative integer matrices enjoy a Pisot property: each matrix in that monoid has only one eigenvalue with absolute value larger than one. These monoids come from multidimensional continued fractions,…

In this article, we study the ideal generated by $2\times 2$ permanents of a symmetric matrix. We denote this ideal by $P_2(X)$ where $X$ is a symmetric matrix. We compute a Gr\"obner basis, dimension, depth, minimal primes, and a primary…

For fixed $m>1$, we consider $m$ independent $n \times n$ non-Hermitian random matrices $X_1, ..., X_m$ with i.i.d. centered entries with a finite $(2+\eta)$-th moment, $ \eta>0.$ As $n$ tends to infinity, we show that the empirical…
