We argue that the freezing transition scenario, previously explored in the statistical mechanics of 1/f-noise random energy models, also determines the value distribution of the maximum of the modulus of the characteristic polynomials of…
We present the results of systematic numerical computations relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices drawn from the Circular Unitary Ensemble (CUE) of Random Matrix Theory. In…
In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…
We study extreme value statistics (EVS) for spatially extended models exhibiting mixed order phase transitions (MOT). These are phase transitions which exhibit features common to both first order (discontinuity of the order parameter) and…
We study the decay rate $\theta(a)$ that characterizes the late time exponential decay of the first-passage probability density $F_a(t|0) \sim e^{-\theta(a)\, t}$ of a diffusing particle in a one dimensional confining potential $U(x)$,…
If a system undergoing phase transitions exhibits some characteristics of both first and second order, it is said to be of 'mixed order' or to display the Thouless effect. Such a transition is present in a simple model of a dynamic social…
Results of extensive computations of moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line are presented. Calculated values are compared with predictions motivated by random matrix theory. The results can help in deciding between those…
Moments of moments of the Riemann zeta function, defined by \[ \text{MoM}_T (k,\beta) = \frac{1}{T} \int_T^{2T} \left( \int_{ |h|\leq (\log T)^\theta}|\zeta(\tfrac{1}{2} + i t + ih)|^{2\beta} dh \right)^k dt \] where $k,\beta \geq 0$ and…
We consider a model of the Riemann zeta function on the critical axis and study its maximum over intervals of length $(\log T)^{\theta}$, where $\theta$ is either fixed or tends to zero at a suitable rate. It is shown that the deterministic…
It has been conjectured that the statistical properties of zeros of the Riemann zeta function near $z = 1/2 + \ui E$ tend, as $E \to \infty$, to the distribution of eigenvalues of large random matrices from the Unitary Ensemble. At finite…
We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the…
We consider the number ${\cal N}_{\theta_A}(\theta)$ of eigenvalues $e^{i \theta_j}$ of a random unitary matrix, drawn from CUE$_{\beta}(N)$, in the interval $\theta_j \in [\theta_A,\theta]$. The deviations from its mean, ${\cal…
Motivated by recently discovered relations between logarithmically correlated Gaussian processes and characteristic polynomials of large random $N \times N$ matrices $H$ from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE), we consider the problem of…
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)…
We study the distribution of maxima (Extreme Value Statistics) for sequences of observables computed along orbits generated by random transformations. The underlying, deterministic, dynamical system can be regular or chaotic. In the former…
We study the statistics of the maximum and minimum of a set of $N$ random variables whose dynamical and statistical properties fall within the scope of infinite ergodic theory. These non-stationary yet recurrent systems are described, in…
In this paper, we study fluctuations of conditionally centered statistics of the form $$N^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^N c_i(g(\sigma_i)-\mathbb{E}_N[g(\sigma_i)|\sigma_j,j\neq i])$$ where $(\sigma_1,\ldots ,\sigma_N)$ are sampled from a dependent…
We investigate some implications of the freezing scenario proposed by Carpentier and Le Doussal (CLD) for a random energy model (REM) with logarithmically correlated random potential. We introduce a particular (circular) variant of the…
The fluctuations in the ideal quantum gases are studied using the strongly intensive measures $\Delta[A,B]$ and $\Sigma[A,B]$ defined in terms of two extensive quantities $A$ and $B$. In the present paper, these extensive quantities are…
In the vicinity of a phase transition, the order parameter starts fluctuating before vanishing at the critical point. The fluctuation regime, i.e. the way the ordered phase disappears, is a characteristics of a transition, and determines…
