This article studies the Gram random matrix model $G=\frac1T\Sigma^{\rm T}\Sigma$, $\Sigma=\sigma(WX)$, classically found in the analysis of random feature maps and random neural networks, where $X=[x_1,\ldots,x_T]\in{\mathbb R}^{p\times…
We consider a class of matrix integrals over the unitary group $U(N)$ with an infinite set of couplings characterized by a series $f(q)=\sum_{n \ge 1} a_n q^n$, with $a_n \in \mathbb{Z}$. Such integrals arise in physics as the partition…
Franco, Galloni, Penante, and Wen have proposed a boundary measurement map for a graph on any closed orientable surface with boundary. We consider this boundary measurement map which takes as input an edge weighted directed graph embedded…
In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…
Symmetry principles underlie and guide scientific theory and research, from Curie's invariance formulation to modern applications across physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Building on a recent matrix Lie group measurement model, this…
Let $K$ be a field and $F$ a free group. By a classical result of Cohn and Lewin, the free group algebra $K\left[F\right]$ is a free ideal ring (FIR): a ring over which the submodules of free modules are themselves free, and of a…
This document is a practical guide to computations using an automatic structure for the mapping class group of a once-punctured, oriented surface $S$. We describe a quadratic time algorithm for the word problem in this group, which can be…
A recent work by A. Mandarino, T. Linowski and K. \.{Z}yczkowski left open the following question. If $ \mu_N $ is a certain permutation of entries of a $ N^2 \times N^2 $ matrix ("mixing map") and $ U_N $ is a $ N^2 \times N^2 $ Haar…
We show that the matrix-model action for noncommutative U(n) gauge theory actually describes SU(n) gauge theory coupled to gravity. This is elaborated in the 4-dimensional case. The SU(n) gauge fields as well as additional scalar fields…
In this paper, we analyze the limiting spectral distribution of the adjacency matrix of a random graph ensemble, proposed by Chung and Lu, in which a given expected degree sequence $\overline{w}_n^{^{T}} = (w^{(n)}_1,\ldots,w^{(n)}_n)$ is…
We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…
We generalise a result of Sawyer to show the following: For each y\in R^p and w\in R^q let \Gamma(y,w) be a measurable d-dimensional surface in R^n. Under conditions on the number of parameters and smoothness assumptions, there exists a set…
Integrals for the product of unitary-matrix elements over the U(n) group will be discussed. A group-theoretical formula is available to convert them into a multiple sum, but unfortunately the sums are often tedious to compute. In this…
We study matrix integrals of the form $$\int_{\mathrm{USp(2n)}}\prod_{j=1}^k\mathrm{tr}(U^j)^{a_j}\mathrm d U,$$ where $a_1,\ldots,a_r$ are natural numbers and integration is with respect to the Haar probability measure. We obtain a compact…
Let $\Sigma$ be a surface of negative Euler characteristic and $S$ a generating set for $\pi_1(\Sigma,p)$ consisting of simple loops that are pairwise disjoint (except at $p$). We show that the word length with respect to $S$ of an element…
$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…
The scaled standard Wigner matrix (symmetric with mean zero, variance one i.i.d. entries), and its limiting eigenvalue distribution, namely the semi-circular distribution, has attracted much attention. The $2k$th moment of the limit equals…
We study the spectral measure of large Euclidean random matrices. The entries of these matrices are determined by the relative position of $n$ random points in a compact set $\Omega_n$ of $\R^d$. Under various assumptions we establish the…
In this paper we study random walks on a finitely generated group $G$ which has a free action on a $\mathbb{Z}^n$-tree. We show that if $G$ is non-abelian and acts minimally, freely and without inversions on a locally finite…
This thesis deals with the geometric and integrable aspects associated with random matrix models. Its purpose is to provide various applications of random matrix theory, from algebraic geometry to partial differential equations of…
