A permanental vector is a generalization of a vector with components that are squares of the components of a Gaussian vector, in the sense that the matrix that appears in the Laplace transform of the vector of Gaussian squares is not…
Calculating the permanent of a (0,1) matrix is a #P-complete problem but there are some classes of structured matrices for which the permanent is calculable in polynomial time. The most well-known example is the fixed-jump (0,1) circulant…
In the high-energy quantum-physics literature one finds statements such as "matrix algebras converge to the sphere". Earlier I provided a general precise setting for understanding such statements, in which the matrix algebras are viewed as…

We provide an up-to-date review of the recent constructive program for field theories of the vector, matrix and tensor type, focusing not on the models themselves but on the mathematical tools used.
