Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a random matrix with independent entries, and suppose that the entries are "uniformly anticoncentrated" in the sense that there is a constant $\varepsilon>0$ such that each entry $a_{ij}$ satisfies…

We consider random matrices of the form $H = W + \lambda V$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}^+$, where $W$ is a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size $N$ and $V$ is a real bounded diagonal random matrix of size $N$ with i.i.d.\…

We prove that the class of GUM matrices is the largest class of bi-potential matrices stable under Hadamard increasing functions. We also show that any power greater than 1, in the sense of Hadamard functions, of an inverse M-matrix is also…

Correlators in monomial Hermitian matrix model strongly depend on the choice of eigenvalue integration contours. We express Schur correlator in case of several different integration contours (mixed phase case) as a sum over products of…

We prove that the permanent of nonnegative matrices can be deterministically approximated within a factor of $\sqrt{2}^n$ in polynomial time, improving upon the previous deterministic approximations. We show this by proving that the Bethe…

On the one hand, we prove that almost surely, for large dimension, there is no eigenvalue of a Hermitian polynomial in independent Wigner and deterministic matrices, in any interval lying at some distance from the supports of a sequence of…

In this note we compute the functional derivative of the induced charge density, on a thin conductor, consisting of the union of g+1 disjoint intervals, $J:=\cup_{j=1}^{g+1}(a_j,b_j),$ with respect to an external potential. In the context…

We investigate the statistical properties of eigenvalues of pseudo-Hermitian random matrices whose eigenvalues are real or complex conjugate. It is shown that when the spectrum splits into separated sets of real and complex conjugate…

Let A be an n by n doubly substochastic matrix and denote {\sigma}(A) the sum of all elements of A. In this paper we give the upper bound of the permanent of (I-A) with respect to n and {\sigma}(A).

We study the categorical framework for the computation of persistent homology, without reliance on a particular computational algorithm. The computation of persistent homology is commonly summarized as a matrix theorem, which we call the…

We consider the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices of the form M + P, where M is an n by n Wigner random matrix and P is an arbitrary n by n deterministic matrix with low rank. In general, we show that none of the eigenvalues of M + P…

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product <, >. We say that f : C -->C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix $$(f(<z^r,z^s>))_{r,s=1}^n \eqno(*)$$ is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z^1,...,z^n in…

We study the properties of the eigenvalues of real random matrices and their products. It is known that when the matrix elements are Gaussian-distributed independent random variables, the fraction of real eigenvalues tends to unity as the…

We recall Vere-Jones's definition of the $\alpha$--permanent and describe the connection between the (1/2)--permanent and the hafnian. We establish expansion formulae for the $\alpha$--permanent in terms of partitions of the index set, and…

We prove the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture, in its common graph theoretic formulation. Our original approach to this conjecture used cohomology of sheaves on graphs, although here we give a short combinatorial proof that we found in…

This is the second part of a study of the limiting distributions of the top eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix model with spiked external source under a general external potential. The case when the external source is of rank one was…

Expressions involving the product of the permanent with the (n-1)th power of the determinant of a matrix of indeterminates, and of (0,1)-matrices, are shown to be related to two conjectures that extend the Alon-Tarsi Latin square conjecture…

For a matrix $T \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, let $|T| : = \sqrt{T^*T}$. For $A \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, we show that the matrix sequence $\big\{ |A^n|^{\frac{1}{n}} \big\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ converges in norm to a positive-semidefinite matrix $H$…

We prove the sufficiency of the Linear Superposition Principle for linear trees, which characterizes the spectra achievable by a real symmetric matrix whose underlying graph is a linear tree. The necessity was previously proven in 2014.…

In this paper, we confirm six conjectures on the exact values of some permanents, relating them to the Genocchi numbers of the first and second kinds as well as the Euler numbers. For example, we prove that…
