We present a generalization of a family of points on $\mathbb{S}^2$, the Diamond ensemble, containing collections of $N$ points on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with very small logarithmic energy for all $N\in\mathbb{N}$. We extend this construction to…
We analyse several constructions of random point sets on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{3}\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ evaluating and comparing them through their discrete logarithmic energy: \begin{equation*} E_0(\omega_N) = \sum_{\substack{i, j=1\\ i…
We compute the spherical cap discrepancy of the Diamond ensemble (a set of evenly distributed spherical points) as well as some other quantities. We also define an area regular partition on the sphere where each region contains exactly one…
The spherical ensemble is a well-known ensemble of N repulsive points on the two-dimensional sphere, which can realized in various ways (as a random matrix ensemble, a determinantal point process, a Coulomb gas, a Quantum Hall state...).…
The spherical ensemble is a well-studied determinantal process with a fixed number of points on the sphere. The points of this process correspond to the generalized eigenvalues of two appropriately chosen random matrices, mapped to the…
We introduce a stability criterion for quantum statistical ensembles describing macroscopic systems. An ensemble is called "stable" when a small number of local measurements cannot significantly modify the probability distribution of the…
In a recent article, Alishahi and Zamani discuss the spherical ensemble, a rotationally invariant determinantal point process on the 2-sphere. In this paper we extend this process in a natural way to the 2d-dimensional sphere. We prove that…
We define a determinantal point process on the complex projective space that reduces to the so-called spherical ensemble for complex dimension 1 under identification of the 2-sphere with the Riemann sphere. Through this determinantal point…
A detailed simple model is applied to study a metallic cluster. It is assumed that the ions and delocalized electrons are distributed randomly throughout the cluster. The delocalized electrons are assumed to be degenerate. A spherical ball…
Determinantal point processes exhibit an inherent repulsive behavior, thus providing examples of very evenly distributed point sets on manifolds. In this paper, we study the so-called harmonic ensemble, defined in terms of Laplace…
We describe several randomized collections of $3\times 3$ rotation matrices and analyze their associated logarithmic energy. The best one (i.e. the one attaining the lowest expected logarithmic energy) is constructed by choosing $r$…
Smale's Seventh Problem asks for an efficient algorithm to generate a configuration of $n$ points on the sphere that nearly minimizes the logarithmic energy. As a candidate starting configuration for this problem, Armentano, Beltr\'an and…
In this paper, we compute the expected logarithmic energy of solutions to the polynomial eigenvalue problem for random matrices. We generalize some known results for the Shub-Smale polynomials, and the spherical ensemble. These two…
We associate ergodic properties to some subsets of the natural numbers. For any given family of subsets of the natural numbers one may study the question of occurrence of certain "algebraic patterns" in every subset in the family. By…
In this paper, we study the expected value of the pair correlation statistics of randomized point configurations on the sphere, with the emphasis on point configurations generated by determinantal point processes. We study the cases of the…
A Boolean algebra $\mathcal A$ has the Nikodym property if every pointwise bounded sequence of bounded finitely additive measures on $\mathcal A$ is uniformly bounded. Assuming the Diamond Principle $\Diamond$, we will construct an example…
In this paper, we investigate discrete logarithmic energy problems in the unit circle. We study the equilibrium configuration of $n$ electrons and $n-1$ pairs of external protons of charge $+1/2$. It is shown that all the critical points of…
We investigate conditions under which positions in combinatorial games admit simple values. We introduce a unified diamond framework, the $\Diamond_A$-property ($A\in\{\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{D}$), for sets of positions closed under options.…
We enumerate and classify all stationary logarithmic configurations of d+2 points on the unit (d-1)-sphere in d-dimensions. In particular, we show that the logarithmic energy attains its relative minima at configurations that consist of two…
We investigate the semiclassical energy spectrum of quantum elliptic billiard. The nearest neighbor spacing distribution, level number variance and spectral rigidity support the notion that the elliptic billiard is a generic integrable…
