Let X_N= (X_1^(N), ..., X_p^(N)) be a family of N-by-N independent, normalized random matrices from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. We state sufficient conditions on matrices Y_N =(Y_1^(N), ..., Y_q^(N)), possibly random but independent of…
The Mahler measure of a polynomial is a measure of complexity formed by taking the modulus of the leading coefficient times the modulus of the product of its roots outside the unit circle. The roots of a real degree $N$ polynomial chosen…
A sum of a large-dimensional random matrix polynomial and a fixed low-rank matrix polynomial is considered. The main assumption is that the resolvent of the random polynomial converges to some deterministic limit. A formula for the limit of…
We study the 'critical moments' of subcritical Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMCs) in dimensions $d \leq 2$. In particular, we establish a fully explicit formula for the leading order asymptotics, which is closely related to large…
We prove that for $c>0$ a sufficiently small universal constant that a random set of $c d^2/\log^4(d)$ independent Gaussian random points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ lie on a common ellipsoid with high probability. This nearly establishes a…
Consider a measure $\mu_\lambda = \sum_x \xi_x \delta_x$ where the sum is over points $x$ of a Poisson point process of intensity $\lambda$ on a bounded region in $d$-space, and $\xi_x$ is a functional determined by the Poisson points near…
The multiplier $\lambda_n$ of a periodic orbit of period $n$ can be viewed as a (multiple-valued) algebraic function on the space of all complex quadratic polynomials $p_c(z)=z^2+c$. We provide a numerical algorithm for computing critical…
Given a metric space with a Borel probability measure, for each integer $N$ we obtain a probability distribution on $N\times N$ distance matrices by considering the distances between pairs of points in a sample consisting of $N$ points…
We consider the Norros-Reittu random graph $NR_n(\textbf{w})$, where edges are present independently but edge probabilities are moderated by vertex weights, and use probabilistic arguments based on martingales to analyse the component sizes…
In this note, we provide a wide range of upper bounds for the moduli of the zeros of a complex polynomial. The obtained bounds complete a series of previous papers on the location of zeros of polynomials.
We study the following natural question on random sets of points in $\mathbb{F}_2^m$: Given a random set of $k$ points $Z=\{z_1, z_2, \dots, z_k\} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^m$, what is the dimension of the space of degree at most $r$…
Let $\mathbb{S}_n$ denote the symmetric group on $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with the uniform probability measure. For a permutation $\pi \in \mathbb{S}_n$ let $X_{\pi}$ denote the simplicial complex on the vertex set $[n]$ whose simplices are all…
Through studying the critical phenomena in continuum-percolation of discs, we find a new approach to locate the critical point, i.e. using the inflection point of $P_\infty$ as an evaluation of the percolation threshold. The susceptibility,…
Supersymmetric vacua (`universes') of string/M theory may be identified with certain critical points of a holomorphic section (the `superpotential') of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a complex manifold. An important physical…
We investigate i.i.d. random complex dynamical systems generated by probability measures on finite unions of the loci of holomorphic families of rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that under certain conditions on the families, for…
We calculate the discrete moments of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix, evaluated a small distance away from an eigenangle. Such results allow us to make conjectures about similar moments for the Riemann zeta…
Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we investigate the distribution of gaps between the zeros of \xi'(s). We prove that a positive proportion of gaps are less than 0.796 times the average spacing and, in the other direction, a positive…
This paper concerns the existence of critical points for solutions to second order elliptic equations of the form $\nabla\cdot \sigma(x)\nabla u=0$ posed on a bounded domain $X$ with prescribed boundary conditions. In spatial dimension…
In this paper, we address the problem of approximating a multivariate function defined on a general domain in $d$ dimensions from sample points. We consider weighted least-squares approximation in an arbitrary finite-dimensional space $P$…
We prove that for any circulant matrix $C$ of size $n\times n$ with the monic characteristic polynomial $p(z)$, the spectrum of its $(n-1)\times(n-1)$ submatrix $C_{n-1}$ constructed with first $n-1$ rows and columns of $C$ consists of all…
