Quenched disorder in semiconductors induces localized electronic states at the band edge, which manifest as an exponential tail in the density of states. For large impurity densities, this tail takes a universal Lifshitz form that is…
Statistical physics models with hard constraints, such as the discrete hard-core gas model (random independent sets in a graph), are inherently combinatorial and present the discrete mathematician with a relatively comfortable setting for…
Mobility edge transitions from localized to extended states have been observed in two and three dimensional systems, for which sound theoretical explanations have also been derived. One-dimensional lattice models have failed to predict…
We investigate the behavior of discrete interface growth models belonging to the Edwards--Wilkinson (EW) and Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality classes, when defined on a complete graph, a topology commonly used to probe the…
The bulk boundary correspondence, one of the most significant features of topological matter, theoretically connects the existence of edge modes at the boundary with topological invariants of the bulk spectral bands. However, it remains…
As put forth by Kerov in the early 1990s and elucidated in subsequent works, numerous properties of Wigner random matrices are shared by certain linear maps playing an important r\^ole in the representation theory of the symmetric group. We…
We derive an operator identity which relates tight-binding Hamiltonians with arbitrary hopping on the Bethe lattice to the Hamiltonian with nearest-neighbor hopping. This provides an exact expression for the density of states (DOS) of a…
We introduce a new lattice growth model, which we call boundary sandpile. The model amounts to potential-theoretic redistribution of a given initial mass on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) onto the boundary of an (a priori) unknown domain. The…
We investigate the {\em survival-return} probability distribution and the eigenspectrum for the transition probability matrix, for diffusion in the presence of perfectly absorbing traps distributed with critical disorder in two and three…
We investigate topological edge states in one-dimensional off-diagonal mosaic lattices, where nearest-neighbor hopping amplitudes are modulated periodically with period $\kappa>1$. Analytically, we demonstrate that discrete edge states…
A statistical field theory is developed to explore the density of states and spatial profile of `tail states' at the edge of the spectral support of a general class of disordered non-Hermitian operators. These states, which are identified…
We study the Bethe approximation for a system of long rigid rods of fixed length k, with only excluded volume interaction. For large enough k, this system undergoes an isotropic-nematic phase transition as a function of density of the rods.…
We study the root-averaged density of states for the Anderson model on the Bethe lattice in the strong-disorder regime. Here the density of states means the root-averaged spectral measure, not a finite-volume eigenvalue counting limit. We…
We solve exactly a model of monodispersed rigid rods of length $k$ with repulsive interactions on the random locally tree like layered lattice. For $k\geq 4$ we show that with increasing density, the system undergoes two phase transitions:…
In one-dimensional Hermitian tight-binding models, mobility edges separating extended and localized states can appear in the presence of properly engineered quasi-periodical potentials and coupling constants. On the other hand, mobility…
We present a numerical study of the dynamics of a non-ideal fluid subject to a density-dependent pseudo-potential characterized by a hierarchy of nested attractive and repulsive interactions. It is shown that above a critical threshold of…
We characterize the soft modes of the dynamical matrix at the depinning transition, and compare it with the properties of the Anderson model (and long--range generalizations). The density of states at the edge of the spectrum displays a…
We perform both analytical and numerical studies of the one-dimensional tight-binding Hamiltonian with stochastic uncorrelated on-site energies and non-fluctuating long-range hopping integrals . It was argued recently [A. Rodriguez at al.,…

The specific topology of the line centered square lattice (known also as the Lieb lattice) induces remarkable spectral properties as the macroscopically degenerated zero energy flat band, the Dirac cone in the low energy spectrum, and the…
