If a probability density p(\x) (\x\in\R^k) is bounded and R(t) := \int \exp(t\ell(\x)) \d\x < \infty for some linear functional \ell and all t\in(0,1), then, for each t\in(0,1) and all large enough n, the n-fold convolution of the t-tilted…

We study sampling properties of the zero set of the Gaussian entire function on Fock spaces. Firstly, we relax Seip and Wallst\'en's density and separation conditions for sampling sets on Fock spaces to obtain weighted inequalities for sets…

We investigate the distribution of large positive (and negative) values of the Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt D)}$ of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ as $D$ varies over fundamental discriminants $|D|\leq x$.…

This thesis is concerned with the behavior of random analytic functions. In particular, we are interested in the value distribution of Taylor series with independent random coefficients. We begin with a study of the properties of Fourier…

We study the asymptotic limit for large matrix dimension N of the partition function of the unitary ensemble with weight exp(-z^2/2x^2 + t/x - x^2/2). We compute the leading order term of the partition function and of the coefficients of…

Let $N(\sigma,T)$ denote the number of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function with real part greater than $\sigma$ and imaginary part lying between $0$ and $T$. In this article, we provide an explicit version of Carlson's zero…

Building on earlier work introducing the notion of "mod-Gaussian" convergence of sequences of random variables, which arises naturally in Random Matrix Theory and number theory, we discuss the analogue notion of "mod-Poisson" convergence.…

The exact expression for the probability density $p_{_N}(x)$ for sums of a finite number $N$ of random independent terms is obtained. It is shown that the very tail of $p_{_N}(x)$ has a Gaussian form if and only if all the random terms are…

Some properties that nominally involve the eigenvalues of Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) can instead be phrased in terms of singular values. By discarding the signs of the eigenvalues, we gain access to a surprising decomposition: the…

The Tukey-$\lambda$ distribution has interesting properties including (i) for some parameters values it has finite support, and for others infinite support, and (ii) it can mimic several other distributions such that parameter estimation…

Let $q\geq 3$, $2\leq r\leq \phi(q)$ and $a_1,...,a_r$ be distinct residue classes modulo $q$ that are relatively prime to $q$. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Grand Simplicity Hypothesis, M. Rubinstein and P. Sarnak…

In the present paper, we show that under the Riemann hypothesis, and for fixed $h, \epsilon > 0$, the supremum of the real and the imaginary parts of $\log \zeta (1/2 + it)$ for $t \in [UT -h, UT + h]$ are in the interval $[(1-\epsilon)…

Consider the ensemble of Real Symmetric Toeplitz Matrices, each entry iidrv from a fixed probability distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. The limiting spectral measure (the density of normalized eigenvalues)…

Let $k$ be a positive real number, and let $M_k(q)$ be the sum of $|L(\tfrac12,\chi)|^{2k}$ over all non-principal characters to a given modulus $q$. We prove that $M_k(q)\ll_k \phi(q)(\log q)^{k^2}$ whenever $k$ is the reciprocal $n^{-1}$…

Let $Q(X)$ be any integral primitive positive definite quadratic form with discriminant $D$ and in $k$ variables where $k\geq4$. We give an upper bound on the number of integral solutions of $Q(X)=n$ for any integer $n$ in terms of $n$, $k$…

We consider linear statistics of the scaled zeros of Dirichlet $L$--functions, and show that the first few moments converge to the Gaussian moments. The number of Gaussian moments depends on the particular statistic considered. The same…

Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

We present a derivation of the numerical phenomenon that differences between the Riemann zeta function's nontrivial zeros tend to avoid being equal to the imaginary parts of the zeros themselves, a property called statistical "repulsion"…
