We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…
We consider a particle system of the squared Bessel processes with index $\nu > -1$ conditioned never to collide with each other, in which if $-1 < \nu < 0$ the origin is assumed to be reflecting. When the number of particles is finite, we…

It is shown that Hermite polynomials satisfy a Bessel type orthogonality relation, based on the zeros of a single index Hermite polynomial and with a finite integration interval. Because of the role of non-symmetric zeros in the final…
This paper concerns the first passage times of Bessel processes to a point on the positive real line. We are interested in the case when the process starts at a position on its right and compute the densities of the distributions of the…
In this article, we consider several models of random walks in one or several dimensions, additionally allowing, at any unit of time, a reset (or "catastrophe") of the walk with probability $q$. We establish the distribution of the final…
The product of M complex random Gaussian matrices of size N has recently been studied by Akemann, Kieburg and Wei. They showed that, for fixed M and N, the joint probability distribution for the squared singular values of the product matrix…
