We review recent progress relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random matrices associated with the classical compact groups, and of the Riemann zeta-function and other $L$-functions, in the context…

The u-invariant of a field is the largest dimension of an anisotropic quadratic torsion form over the field. In this article we obtain a bound on the u-invariant of function fields in one variable over a henselian valued field with…

Consider the space $C$ of conjugacy classes of a unitary group $U(n+m)$ with respect to a smaller unitary group $U(m)$. It is known that for any element of the space $C$ we can assign canonically a matrix-valued rational function on the…

A folklore conjecture asserts the existence of a constant $c_n > 0$ such that $\#\mathcal{F}_n(X) \sim c_n X$ as $X\to \infty$, where $\mathcal{F}_n(X)$ is the set of degree $n$ extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with discriminant bounded by $X$.…

Ultrahigh energy neutrinos (UHE\nu) scatter on relic neutrinos (R\nu) producing Z bosons, which can decay hadronically producing protons (Z-burst). We compare the predicted proton spectrum with the observed ultrahigh energy cosmic ray…

Let $f$ be function that is analytic in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$, normalized such that $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, i.e., of type $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} a_n z^n$. If additionally, \[ \left| \left(\frac{z}{f(z)}\right)^2 f'(z)…

For a measure mu supported on a compact connected subset of a Euclidean space which satisfies a uniform d-dimensional decay of the volume of balls we show that the maximal edge in the minimum spanning tree of n indepndent samples from mu…

We consider finite element approximations to the optimal constant for the Hardy inequality with exponent $p=2$ in bounded domains of dimension $n=1$ or $n \geq 3$. For finite element spaces of piecewise linear and continuous functions on a…

Products of $M$ i.i.d. random matrices of size $N \times N$ are related to classical limit theorems in probability theory ($N=1$ and large $M$), to Lyapunov exponents in dynamical systems (finite $N$ and large $M$), and to universality in…

Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ with a finite exponential moment, and assume that the subgroup $\Gamma_{\mu}$ generated by the support of $\mu$ is Zariski dense. Let $\nu$ be the unique…

We develop a new quantitative approach to a multidimensional version of the well-known {\it de Jong's central limit theorem} under optimal conditions, stating that a sequence of Hoeffding degenerate $U$-statistics whose fourth cumulants…

We study three instances of log-correlated processes on the interval: the logarithm of the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) characteristic polynomial, the Gaussian log-correlated potential in presence of edge charges, and the Fractional…

Fill an n x n matrix with independent complex Gaussians of variance 1/n. As n approaches infinity, the eigenvalues {z_k} converge to a sum of an H^1-noise on the unit disk and an independent H^{1/2}-noise on the unit circle. More precisely,…

The diversity product and the diversity sum are two very important parameters for a good-performing unitary space time constellation. A basic question is what the maximal diversity product (or sum) is. In this paper we are going to derive…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ shatters a set $A \subseteq [n]$ if for every $A' \subseteq A$ there is an $F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $F \cap A=A'$. We develop a framework to analyze $f(n,k,d)$, the maximum…

Jakimiuk et al. (2024) have proved that, if $X$ is an ultra log-concave random variable with integral mean, then $$\max_n \mathbb{P}\{X=n\} \geq \max_n \mathbb{P} \{Z=n\}\,,$$ where $Z$ is a Poisson random variable with the parameter…

Let $A$ be a unital separable simple ${\cal Z}$-stable C*-algebra which has rational tracial rank at most one and let $u\in U_0(A),$ the connected component of the unitary group of $A.$ We show that, for any $\epsilon>0,$ there exists a…

The classical Szego-Weinberger inequality states that among bounded planar domains of given area, the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is maximized by a disk. Recently, it was shown by Girouard, Nadirashvili and Polterovich that, for simply…

For each $d \in {1,2,3,7,11}$, let $T_d$ be the nearest-integer complex continued fraction map associated with the Euclidean ring $\mathcal{O}*d$, and let $(a_n)$ be its digit sequence. We prove two metric results for this five-system…
