A feature of certain ensembles of random matrices is that the corresponding measure is invariant under conjugation by unitary matrices. Study of such ensembles realised by matrices with Gaussian entries leads to statistical quantities…

For each $n$, let $A_n=(\sigma_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ deterministic matrix and let $X_n=(X_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. centered entries of unit variance. In the companion article Cook et al., we considered the…

We study periodic homogenization problems for second-order pde in half-space type domains with Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, we are interested in "singular problems" for which it is necessary to determine both the homogenized…

Random Hermitian matrices are used to model complex systems without time-reversal invariance. Adding an external source to the model can have the effect of shifting some of the matrix eigenvalues, which corresponds to shifting some of the…

Some eigenvalue matrix models possess an interesting property: one can manifestly define the basis where all averages can be explicitly calculated. For example, in the Gaussian Hermitian and rectangular complex models, averages of the Schur…

We analyze isomonodromic deformations of rational connections on the Riemann sphere with Fuchsian and irregular singularities. The Fuchsian singularities are allowed to be of arbitrary resonant index; the irregular singularities are also…

We extend Ando-Hiai's log-majorization for the weighted geometric mean of positive definite matrices into that for the Cartan barycenter in the general setting of probability measures on the Riemannian manifold of positive definite matrices…

For each affine Kac-Moody algebra $X_n^{(r)}$ of rank $\ell$, $r=1,2$, or $3$, and for every choice of a vertex $c_m$, $m=0,\dots,\ell$, of the corresponding Dynkin diagram, by using the matrix-resolvent method we define a gauge-invariant…

We prove a central limit theorem for the components of the largest eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of a finite-dimensional random dot product graph whose true latent positions are unknown. In particular, we follow the methodology…

$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…

Graphical models and factor analysis are well-established tools in multivariate statistics. While these models can be both linked to structures exhibited by covariance and precision matrices, they are generally not jointly leveraged within…

We consider $N\times N$ random matrices of the form $H = W + V$ where $W$ is a real symmetric Wigner matrix and $V$ a random or deterministic, real, diagonal matrix whose entries are independent of $W$. We assume subexponential decay for…

If $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix whose $n$ eigenvalues are ordered in terms of decreasing modules, $|\lambda_1 | \geq |\lambda_2| \geq ... |\lambda_n|$, it is often of interest to estimate $\frac{|\lambda_2|}{|\lambda_1|}$. If $A$ is a row…

Random-matrix theory is applied to transition-rate matrices in the Pauli master equation. We study the distribution and correlations of eigenvalues, which govern the dynamics of complex stochastic systems. Both the cases of identical and of…

The current work applies some recent combinatorial tools due to Jain to control the eigenvalue gaps of a matrix $M_n = M + N_n$ where $M$ is deterministic, symmetric with large operator norm and $N_n$ is a random symmetric matrix with…

Graphs of the most probable transitions for a transition probability matrix, $e^{\tau K}$, i.e., the time evolution matrix of the transition rate matrix $K$ over a finite time interval $\tau$, are considered. We study how the graph…

We investigate traces of powers of random matrices whose distributions are invariant under rotations (with respect to the Hilbert--Schmidt inner product) within a real-linear subspace of the space of $n\times n$ matrices. The matrices we…

We begin by showing that any $n \times n$ matrix can be decomposed into a sum of $n$ circulant matrices with periodic relaxations on the unit circle. This decomposition is orthogonal with respect to a Frobenius inner product, allowing…

The Laguerre functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$, $n=0,1,\dots$, are constructed from generalized Laguerre polynomials. The functions $l_{n,\tau}^\alpha$ depend on two parameters: scale $\tau>0$ and order of generalization $\alpha>-1$, and form…

Using periodic-orbit theory beyond the diagonal approximation we investigate the form factor, $K(\tau)$, of a generic quantum graph with mixing classical dynamics and time-reversal symmetry. We calculate the contribution from pairs of…
