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.…

In the context of mod-Gaussian convergence, as defined previously in our work with J. Jacod, we obtain lower bounds for local probabilities for a sequence of random vectors which are approximately Gaussian with increasing covariance. This…

In this note, we characterize the limiting functions in mod-Gausssian convergence; our approach sheds a new light on the nature of mod-Gaussian convergence as well. Our results in fact more generally apply to mod-* convergence, where *…

In this paper we complete our understanding of the role played by the limiting (or residue) function in the context of mod-Gaussian convergence. The question about the probabilistic interpretation of such functions was initially raised by…

The aim of this paper is to give a precise asymptotic description of some eigenvalue statistics stemming from random matrix theory. More precisely, we consider random determinants of the GUE, Laguerre, Uniform Gram and Jacobi beta ensembles…

In this paper, we show how to use the framework of mod-Gaussian convergence in order to study the fluctuations of certain models of random graphs, of random permutations and of random integer partitions. We prove that, in these three…

We review recent progress relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random matrices associated with the classical compact groups, and of the Riemann zeta-function and other $L$-functions, in the context…

We prove mod-Gaussian convergence for a Dirichlet polynomial which approximates $\operatorname{Im}\log\zeta(1/2+it)$. This Dirichlet polynomial is sufficiently long to deduce Selberg's central limit theorem with an explicit error term.…

Sequences of discrete random variables are studied whose probability generating functions are zero-free in a sector of the complex plane around the positive real axis. Sharp bounds on the cumulants of all orders are stated, leading to…

We construct a probabilistic model for the number of divisors of a random uniform integer that converges in the mod-Poisson sense to the same limiting function as its original counterpart, the one arising in the Sathe-Selberg theorem. This…

We consider several sequences of random variables whose Fourier-Laplace transforms present the same type of \textit{splitting phenomenon} when suitably rescaled by the Fourier-Laplace transform of a Poisson-distributed random variable…

Stein's method allows to prove distributional convergence of a sequence of random variables and to quantify it with respect to a given metric such as Kolmogorov's (a Berry-Ess\'een type theorem). Mod-* convergence quantifies the convergence…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize the convergence in distribution of a sequence of arbitrary random variables to a probability distribution which is the invariant measure of a diffusion process. This class of…

In analytic number theory, the Selberg--Delange Method provides an asymptotic formula for the partial sums of a complex function $f$ whose Dirichlet series has the form of a product of a well-behaved analytic function and a complex power of…

In this paper we develop tools for studying limit theorems by means of convexity. We establish bounds for the discrepancy in total variation between probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ such that $\nu$ is log-concave with respect to $\mu$.…

Using Fourier analysis, we study local limit theorems in weak-convergence problems. Among many applications, we discuss random matrix theory, some probabilistic models in number theory, the winding number of complex brownian motion and the…

For $X(n)$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we consider the random polynomials $$ P_N(\theta) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leq N} X(n) e(n\theta), $$ and show that the $2k$-th moments on the unit circle $$ \int_0^1…

Consider a sequence of polynomials of bounded degree evaluated in independent Gaussian, Gamma or Beta random variables. We show that, if this sequence converges in law to a nonconstant distribution, then (i) the limit distribution is…

We provide a convergence result for sequences of random variables taking values in a metric space that satisfy a stochastic quasi-Fej\'er monotonicity condition, in the context of a (local) compactness assumption. Our result is quantitative…
