We introduce the beta model for random hypergraphs in order to represent the occurrence of multi-way interactions among agents in a social network. This model builds upon and generalizes the well-studied beta model for random graphs, which…

We find the precise rate at which the empirical measure associated to a $\beta$-ensemble converges to its limiting measure. In our setting the $\beta$-ensemble is a random point process on a compact complex manifolds distributed according…

The class of nonlinear Markov processes is characterized by the dependence of the current state of the process on its current distribution in addition to the dependence on the previous state. Due to this feature, these processes are…
