Given a probability measure $\mu$ on a set $\mathcal{X}$ and a vector-valued function $\varphi$, a common problem is to construct a discrete probability measure on $\mathcal{X}$ such that the push-forward of these two probability measures…
We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution of an $m\times m$ principal submatrix of an $n\times n$ random unitary matrix distributed according to Haar measure. For $n$ and $m$ large with $\frac{m}{n}=\alpha$, the empirical spectral…
In physics, it is sometimes desirable to compute the so-called \emph{Density Of States} (DOS), also known as the \emph{spectral density}, of a real symmetric matrix $A$. The spectral density can be viewed as a probability density…
We summarize significant classical results on (in)determinacy of measures in terms of their finite positive integer order moments. Well-known is the role of the smallest eigenvalues of Hankel matrices, starting from Hamburger's results a…
The role of the normalized modularity matrix in finding homogeneous cuts will be presented. We also discuss the testability of the structural eigenvalues and that of the subspace spanned by the corresponding eigenvectors of this matrix. In…
We use group theoretic methods to obtain the extended Lie point symmetries of the quantum dynamics of a scalar particle probing the near horizon structure of a black hole. Symmetries of the classical equations of motion for a charged…
We estabish an analog of the Cauchy-Poincare separation theorem for normal matrices in terms of majorization. Moreover, we present a solution to the inverse spectral problem (Borg-type result) for a normal matrix. Using this result we…
We compute the measure with multiplicity of the set of complex planes intersecting a compact domain in a complex space form. The result is given in terms of the so-called hermitian intrinsic volumes. Moreover, we obtain two different…
The problem of estimating the spectrum of a density matrix is considered. Other problems, such as bipartite pure state entanglement, can be reduced to spectrum estimation. A local operations and classical communication (LOCC) measurement…
We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…
We consider powers of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial of Haar distributed random orthogonal or symplectic matrices, as well as powers of the exponential of its argument, as a random measure on the unit circle minus small…
Revisiting the issue associated with Position-Dependent Mass (PDM), we reaffirm that the appropriate framework for addressing a generic PDM is the symmetrization proposed by BenDaniel and Duke. To accomplish this result adopts the effective…
Exploiting the explicit bijection between the density of singular values and the density of eigenvalues for bi-unitarily invariant complex random matrix ensembles of finite matrix size, we aim at finding the induced probability measure on…
This expository article is an expanded version of talks given at the "Current Developments in Mathematics, 2002" conference. It gives an introduction to the (generalized) conjecture of Rapoport and Goresky-MacPherson which identifies the…
This paper is devoted to the study of general (Laurent) polynomial modifications of moment functionals on the unit circle, i.e., associated with hermitian Toeplitz matrices. We present a new approach which allows us to study polynomial…
In this survey paper we review classical results and recent progress about a certain topic in the spectral theory of two-dimensional canonical systems. Namely, we consider the questions whether the spectrum $\sigma$ is discrete, and if it…
The congruence orbit of a matrix has a natural connection with the linear complementarity problem on simplicial cones formulated for the matrix. In terms of the two approaches -- the congruence orbit and the family of all simplicial cones…
When a randomness is introduced at the level of real matrix elements, depending on its particular realization, a pair of eigenvalues can appear as real or form a complex conjugate pair. We show that in the limit of large matrix size the…
A finite dimensional quantum system for which the quantum chaos conjecture applies has eigenstates, which show the same statistical properties than the column vectors of random orthogonal or unitary matrices. Here, we consider the different…
We extend to infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces the Schur convexity property of eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix with real entries. Our framework includes both the case of linear, selfadjoint, compact operators, and that of…
