We study deviation probabilities for the number of high positioned particles in branching Brownian motion, and confirm a conjecture of Derrida and Shi (2016). We also solve the corresponding problem for the two-dimensional discrete Gaussian…
We discuss D-dimensional scalar field interacting with a scale invariant random metric which is either a Gaussian field or a square of a Gaussian field. The metric depends on d-dimensional coordinates (where d is less than D). By a…
We have obtained some upper bounds for the probability distribution of extremes of a self-similar Gaussian random field with stationary rectangular increments that are defined on the compact spaces. The probability distributions of extremes…
The problem of (pathwise) large deviations for conditionally continuous Gaussian processes is investigated. The theory of large deviations for Gaussian processes is extended to the wider class of random processes -- the conditionally…
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. For such fields, the relative densities of umbilical points -- topological defects which can be classified into three types -- have certain fixed values.…
Gaussian random fields on finite dimensional smooth manifolds whose variances reach their maximum value at smooth submanifolds are considered. Exact asymptotic behaviors of large excursion probabilities have been evaluated. Vector Gaussian…
This work is originally a Cambridge Part III essay. Throughout the paper, some aspects of General Relativity in higher dimensions are reviewed. The work presented draws a path within the wide landscape of higher dimensional black holes…
Calculation of the distribution of the average value of a Gaussian random field in a finite domain is carried out for different cases. The results of the calculation demonstrate a strong dependence of the width of the distribution on the…
We consider a class of Gaussian random holomorphic functions, whose expected zero set is uniformly distributed over $\C^n $. This class is unique (up to multiplication by a non zero holomorphic function), and is closely related to a…
We study the spectrum of a random matrix, whose elements depend on the Euclidean distance between points randomly distributed in space. This problem is widely studied in the context of the Instantaneous Normal Modes of fluids and is…
We consider the maximum of the discrete two dimensional Gaussian free field in a box, and prove the existence of a (dense) deterministic subsequence along which the maximum, centered at its mean, is tight; this still leaves open the…
The physical meaning, the properties and the consequences of a discrete scalar field are discussed; limits for a continuous mathematical description of fundamental physics is a natural outcome of discrete fields with discrete interactions.…
The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…
The presented paper is devoted to statistical modeling of Gaussian scalar real random fields inside a three-dimensional sphere (ball). We propose a statistical model describing the spatial heterogeneity in a unit ball and a numerical…
Consider sequential packing of unit balls in a large cube, as in the Renyi car-parking model, but in any dimension and with Poisson input. We show after suitable rescaling that the spatial distribution of packed balls tends to that of a…
A detailed mathematical proof is given that the energy spectrum of a non-relativistic quantum particle in multi-dimensional Euclidean space under the influence of suitable random potentials has almost surely a pure-point component. The…
We consider the lattice version of the free field in two dimensions and study the fractal structure of the sets where the field is unusually high (or low). We then extend some of our computations to the case of the free field conditioned on…
Motivated by the problem of testing for the existence of a signal of known parametric structure and unknown ``location'' (as explained below) against a noisy background, we obtain for the maximum of a centered, smooth random field an…
We consider smooth, infinitely divisible random fields $(X(t),t\in M)$, $M\subset {\mathbb{R}}^d$, with regularly varying Levy measure, and are interested in the geometric characteristics of the excursion sets \[A_u=\{t\in M:X(t)>u\}\] over…
The issue of the existence and possible triviality of the Euclidean quantum scalar field in dimension 4 is investigated by using some large deviations techniques. As usual, the field $\varphi_{d}^{4}$ is obtained as a limit of regularized…
