Let $S= (s_1<s_2<\dots)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers and denote $\mathbf{e}(\beta)=\mathrm{e}^{2\pi i \beta}$. We say $S$ is good if for every real $\alpha$ the limit $\lim_N \frac1N\sum_{n\le N}…
Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{C}$ be a compact subset of the complex plane, and $\mu$ be a probability distribution on $\Sigma$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mu$ to be the weak* limit of a sequence of uniform probability…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure with an infinite compact support on $\mathbb{R}$. Let us further assume that $(F_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of orthogonal polynomials for $\mu$ where $(f_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of nonlinear…
Normalized eigenvalue counting measure of the sum of two Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrices $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ rotated independently with respect to each other by the random unitary (or orthogonal) Haar distributed matrix $U_{n}$ (i.e.…
For a fixed positive integer n, let S_n denote the symmetric group of n! permutations on n symbols, and let maj(sigma) denote the major index of a permutation sigma. For positive integers k<m not greater than n and non-negative integers i…
We consider the problem of enumerating permutations in the symmetric group on $n$ elements which avoid a given set of consecutive pattern $S$, and in particular computing asymptotics as $n$ tends to infinity. We develop a general method…
Any permutation statistic $f:\sym\to\CC$ may be represented uniquely as a, possibly infinite, linear combination of (classical) permutation patterns: $f= \Sigma_\tau\lambda_f(\tau)\tau$. To provide explicit expansions for certain…
By using the independence structure of points following a determinantal point process, we study the radii of the spherical ensemble, the truncation of the circular unitary ensemble and the product ensemble with parameter n and k. The…
We consider here estimation of an unknown probability density s belonging to L2(mu) where mu is a probability measure. We have at hand n i.i.d. observations with density s and use the squared L2-norm as our loss function. The purpose of…
Kerov, Olshanski and Vershik introduced the so-called virtual permutations, defined as families of permutations $(\sigma_N)_{N \geq 1}$, $\sigma_N$ in the symmetric group of order $N$, such that the cycle structure of $\sigma_N$ can be…
In this paper, we use Hasse diagrams and generating functions to count alternating permutations with restricted prefix and suffix of lengths 3 and 4. In other words, for an alternating permutation…
We consider $n\times n$ real symmetric and hermitian random matrices $H_{n,m}$ equals the sum of a non-random matrix $H_{n}^{(0)}$ matrix and the sum of $m$ rank-one matrices determined by $m$ i.i.d. isotropic random vectors with…
Given a permutation $\sigma$, the Robinson-Schensted correspondence determines a certain partition called the shape of $\sigma$. Famously, the shape measures the longest unions of increasing and decreasing subsequences, thus giving global…
Concentration of measure is a phenomenon in which a random variable that depends in a smooth way on a large number of independent random variables is essentially constant. The random variable will "concentrate" around its median or…
We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…
We introduce a discrete-space analogue of the No-U-Turn sampler on the symmetric group $S_n$, yielding a locally adaptive and reversible Markov chain Monte Carlo method for $\mathrm{Mallows}(d,\sigma_0)$. Here $d:S_n\times S_n\to[0,\infty)$…
This note establishes that if a sequence $P_n, n=1,\ldots$ of probability measures converges in total variation to the limiting probability measure $P$, and $\sigma$-algebras $\mathbb{A}$ and $\mathbb{B}$ are conditionally independent given…
We study the maximal perimeter constant of isotropic log-concave probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For a measure $\mu$, this quantity, denoted by $\Gamma(\mu)$, is defined as the supremum of the $\mu$-perimeter over all convex bodies…
We study pattern avoidance by combinatorial objects other than permutations, namely by ordered partitions of an integer and by permutations of a multiset. In the former case we determine the generating function explicitly, for integer…
Let $\nu$ be a finite complex measure with support in $\bar {\mathbb D}$ and let $\mathcal C\nu$ denote the Cauchy transform of $\nu .$ Suppose that $\nu$ annihilates polynomials in complex variable $z$ and $\nu |_{\partial \mathbb D} =…
