It is well known that the spectral gap of the down-up walk over an $n$-partite simplicial complex (also known as Glauber dynamics) cannot be better than $O(1/n)$ due to natural obstructions such as coboundaries. We study an alternative…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $n$ and let $\Delta_{n-1}$ denote the $(n-1)$-simplex on the vertex set $G$. The sum complex $X_{A,k}$ associated to a subset $A \subset G$ and $k < n$, is the $k$-dimensional simplicial complex…

In this paper, we introduce random walks with absorbing states on simplicial complexes. Given a simplicial complex of dimension $d$, a random walk with an absorbing state is defined which relates to the spectrum of the $k$-dimensional…

Random shapes arise naturally in many contexts. The topological and geometric structure of such objects is interesting for its own sake, and also for applications. In physics, for example, such objects arise naturally in quantum gravity, in…

The spectrum of random ergodic Schr\"odinger-type operators is almost surely a deterministic subset of the real line. The random operator can be considered as a perturbation of a periodic one. As soon as the disorder is switched on via a…
