The Luria-Delbr\"uck distribution is a classical model of mutations in cell kinetics. It is obtained as a limit when the probability of mutation tends to zero and the number of divisions to infinity. It can be interpreted as a compound…

We report further findings on the size distribution of the largest neutral segments in a sequence of N randomly charged monomers [D. Ertas and Y. Kantor, Phys. Rev. E53, 846 (1996); cond-mat/9507005]. Upon mapping to one--dimensional random…

We study moments of characteristic polynomials of truncated Haar distributed matrices from the three classical compact groups O(N), U(N) and Sp(2N). For finite matrix size we calculate the moments in terms of hypergeometric functions of…

Consider $M_n$ the maximal position at generation $n$ of a supercritical branching random walk. A\"id\'ekon (2013) obtained and described the convergence in law, as time $n$ goes to infinity, of $M_n-m_n$, where $m_n$ is an explicit…

Consider a random polynomial $G_n(z)=\xi_nz^n+...+\xi_1z+\xi_0$ with i.i.d. complex-valued coefficients. Suppose that the distribution of $\log(1+\log(1+|\xi_0|))$ has a slowly varying tail. Then the distribution of the complex roots of…

We study the individual digits for the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial for the Circular $\beta$-Ensemble. We show that, in the large $N$ limit, the first digits obey Benford's Law and the further digits become uniformly…

We compute the joint probability density function (jpdf) P_N(M, \tau_M) of the maximum M and its position \tau_M for N non-intersecting Brownian excursions, on the unit time interval, in the large N limit. For N \to \infty, this jpdf is…

We prove a Chernoff-type bound for sums of matrix-valued random variables sampled via a regular (aperiodic and irreducible) finite Markov chain. Specially, consider a random walk on a regular Markov chain and a Hermitian matrix-valued…

Let $\sqrt{N}+\lambda_{max}$ be the largest real eigenvalue of a random $N\times N$ matrix with independent $N(0,1)$ entries (the `real Ginibre matrix'). We study the large deviations behaviour of the limiting $N\rightarrow \infty$…

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of values of the complete exponential sum $S_{p,\chi}(\theta)=\sum_{n=1}^p \chi(n)e(n\theta)$, where $p$ is a large prime, $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character (mod $p$) of order $d\geq 2$, and…
