A concrete formulation of the Lehmann-Maehly-Goerisch method for semi-definite self-adjoint operators with compact resolvent is considered. Precise rates of convergence are determined in terms of how well the trial spaces capture the…

Eigenvalue problems for semidefinite operators with infinite dimensional kernels appear for instance in electromagnetics. Variational discretizations with edge elements have long been analyzed in terms of a discrete compactness property. As…

We consider the distributions of the lengths of the longest weakly increasing and strongly decreasing subsequences in words of length N from an alphabet of k letters. We find Toeplitz determinant representations for the exponential…

We develop a unified algebraic and valuative theory of Lojasiewicz exponents for pairs of graded families and filtrations of ideals. Within this framework, local Lojasiewicz exponents, gradient exponents, and exponents at infinity are all…

Let ($X,Y)$ be a random vector with distribution function $F(x,y),$ and $(X_{1},Y_{1}),(X_{2},Y_{2}),...,(X_{n},Y_{n})$ are independent copies of ($X,Y).$ Let $X_{i:n}$ be the $i$th order statistics constructed from the sample…

We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

In this article, we study high-dimensional behavior of empirical spectral distributions $\{L_N(t), t\in[0,T]\}$ for a class of $N\times N$ symmetric/Hermitian random matrices, whose entries are generated from the solution of stochastic…

Frames and orthonormal bases are naturally linked to bounded operators. To tackle unbounded operators those sequences might not be well suited. This has already been noted by von Neumann in the 1920ies. But modern frame theory also…

We study ensembles of random symmetric matrices whose entries exhibit certain correlations. Examples are distributions of Curie-Weiss-type. We provide a criterion on the correlations ensuring the validity of Wigner's semicircle law for the…

The eigenvalues of a self-adjoint nxn matrix A can be put into a decreasing sequence $\lambda=(\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n)$, with repetitions according to multiplicity, and the diagonal of A is a point of $R^n$ that bears some relation to…

We consider the Neumann problem in $C^2$ bounded domains for fully nonlinear second order operators which are elliptic, homogenous with lower order terms. Inspired by \cite{bnv}, we define the concept of principal eigenvalue and we…

This paper consists of two halves. In the first half of the paper, we consider real-valued functions $f$ whose domain is the vertex set of a graph $G$ and that are Lipschitz with respect to the graph distance. By placing a uniform…

We show that the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size $N$ converge to the Tracy--Widom laws at a rate $O(N^{-1/3+\omega})$, as $N$ tends to infinity. For Wigner matrices this…

In the Wigner-Moyal approach to quantum mechanics, we show that Moyal's starting point, the characteristic function $M(\tau,\theta)=\int \psi^{*}(x)e^{i(\tau {\hat p}+\theta{\hat x})}\psi(x)dx$, is essentially the primitive idempotent used…

I review aspects of work done in collaboration with A. Zee and R. Scalettar \cite{fz1,fz2,fsz} on complex non-hermitean random matrices. I open by explaining why the bag of tools used regularly in analyzing hermitean random matrices cannot…

We consider an ensemble of self-dual matrices with arbitrary complex entries. This ensemble is closely related to a previously defined ensemble of anti-symmetric matrices with arbitrary complex entries. We study the two-level correlation…

We describe the distribution of the first finite number of eigenvalues in a newly-forming band of the spectrum of the random Hermitean matrix model. The method is rigorously based on the Riemann-Hilbert analysis of the corresponding…

We analyse the limiting behavior of the eigenvalue and singular value distribution for random convolution operators on large (not necessarily Abelian) groups, extending the results by M. Meckes for the Abelian case. We show that for regular…

Using numerical exact diagonalization, we study matrix elements of a local spin operator in the eigenbasis of two different nonintegrable quantum spin chains. Our emphasis is on the question to what extent local operators can be represented…

In this paper we will consider, in the abstract setting of rigged Hilbert spaces, distribution valued functions and we will investigate, in particular, conditions for them to constitute a "continuous basis" for the smallest space $\mathcal…
