Observational studies of star formation reveal spatial distributions of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) that are `snapshots' of an ongoing star formation process. Using methods from spatial statistics it is possible to test the likelihood that…
We give an asymptotic probabilistic real Riemann-Hurwitz formula computing the expected real ramification index of a random covering over the Riemann sphere. More generally, we study the asymptotic expected number and distribution of…
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviors of the pairwise angles among n randomly and uniformly distributed unit vectors in R^p as the number of points n -> infinity, while the dimension p is either fixed or growing with n. For both…
We describe extensive computational experiments on spectral properties of random objects - random cubic graphs, random planar triangulations, and Voronoi and Delaunay diagrams of random (uniformly distributed) point sets on the sphere). We…
We propose an extension of a result by Repetowicz et al. about Wick's theorem and its applications: we first show that Wick's theorem can be extended to the uniform distribution on the sphere and then to the whole class of elliptical…
Three methods for detecting and characterizing structure in point data, such as that generated by redshift surveys, are described: classification using self-organizing maps, segmentation using Bayesian blocks, and density estimation using…
The distribution of lattice points with relatively $r$-prime is related to problems in the Number Theory such as the Extended Lindel\"{o}f Hypothesis and the Gauss Circle Problem. It is known that Sittinger's result is improved on the…

We consider the coincidence problem for the square lattice that is translated by an arbitrary vector. General results are obtained about the set of coincidence isometries and the coincidence site lattices of a shifted square lattice by…
We study the correlation between the total number of critical points of random spherical harmonics and the number of critical points with value in any interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$. We show that the correlation is asymptotically zero,…
We introduce a notion of local level spacings and study their statistics within a random-matrix-theory approach. In the limit of infinite-dimensional random matrices, we determine universal sequences of mean local spacings and of their…
In this note we will consider the question when from the appropriate behavior of a sequence of points on caps we can conclude that the sequence is uniformly distributed on the sphere.
We study random points on the real line generated by the eigenvalues in unitary invariant random matrix ensembles or by more general repulsive particle systems. As the number of points tends to infinity, we prove convergence of the…
In a series of papers (Lombardi & Schneider 2001, 2002) we studied in detail the statistical properties of an interpolation technique widely used in astronomy. In particular, we considered the average interpolated map and its covariance…
Uniform probability distributions on $\ell_p$ balls and spheres have been studied extensively and are known to behave like product measures in high dimensions. In this note we consider the uniform distribution on the intersection of a…
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…
The problem of (non)random distribution of points on the sphere is investigated. Published procedures for obtaining preferred direction and preferred plane for points on the sphere (in the sky) are discussed. It is shown that the published…
A marked lattice is a $d$-dimensional Euclidean lattice, where each lattice point is assigned a mark via a given random field on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We prove that, if the field is strongly mixing with a faster-than-logarithmic rate, then for…
