We study the semiclassical Wigner-Kirkwood (WK) expansion of the partition function $Z(t)$ for arbitrary even homogeneous potentials, starting from the Bloch equation. As is well known, the phase-space kernel of $Z$ satisfies the so-called…

Let $W_N(\beta) = \mathrm{E}_0\left[e^{ \sum_{n=1}^N \beta \omega(n,S_n) - N\beta^2/2}\right]$ be the partition function of a two-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment, where $\omega(i,x), i\in \mathbb{N}, x\in \mathbb{Z}^2$…

The partition function of the random energy model at inverse temperature $\beta$ is a sum of random exponentials $Z_N(\beta)=\sum_{k=1}^N \exp(\beta \sqrt{n} X_k)$, where $X_1,X_2,...$ are independent real standard normal random variables…

For $X(n)$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we consider the random polynomials $$ P_N(\theta) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leq N} X(n) e(n\theta), $$ and show that the $2k$-th moments on the unit circle $$ \int_0^1…

We compute the limit of the moments of the partition function $Z_{N}^{\beta_N} $ of the directed polymer in dimension $d=2$ in the subcritical regime, i.e. when the inverse temperature is scaled as $\beta_N \sim \hat{\beta}…

We consider the partition function Z(N;x_1,...,x_N,y_1,...,y_N) of the square ice model with domain wall boundary. We give a simple proof of the symmetry of Z with respect to all its variables when the global parameter a of the model is set…

We use a coin flipping model for the random partition and Chebyshev's inequality to prove the lower bound $\lim \frac{\log p(n)}{\sqrt{n}} \ge C$ for the number of partitions $p(n)$ of $n$, where $C$ is an explicit constant.

Recently, Michel Talagrand computed the large deviations limit $\lim_{N\to\infty}(Na)^{-1}\log \e Z_N^a$ for the moments of the partition function $Z_N$ in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model for all real $a\geq 0.$ For $a\geq 1$ the limit is…

$ $Let $F$ be a multivariate function from a product set $\Sigma^n$ to an Abelian group $G$. A $k$-partition of $F$ with cost $\delta$ is a partition of the set of variables $\mathbf{V}$ into $k$ non-empty subsets $(\mathbf{X}_1, \dots,…

Given a finite set of points $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a $k$-set of $S$ is a subset $A \subset S$ of size $k$ which can be strictly separated from $S \setminus A $ by a hyperplane. Similarly, a $k$-facet of a point set $S$ in general position…

The norm of an integer partition is defined as the product of its parts. This statistic was recently introduced by Schneider in connection to partition zeta functions. In this note, we use the method of moments to study the distribution of…

For non-negative integers $n$ and $k$ with $n \ge k$, a {\em $k$-minor} of a partition $\lambda = [\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \dots]$ of $n$ is a partition $\mu = [\mu_1, \mu_2, \dots]$ of $n-k$ such that $\mu_i \le \lambda_i$ for all $i$. The…

Estimating quantum partition functions is a critical task in a variety of fields. However, the problem is classically intractable in general due to the exponential scaling of the Hamiltonian dimension $N$ in the number of particles. This…

Stanley defined a partition function t(n) as the number of partitions $\lambda$ of n such that the number of odd parts of $\lambda$ is congruent to the number of odd parts of the conjugate partition $\lambda'$ modulo 4. We show that t(n)…
