We calculate the autocorrelation functions (or shifted moments) of the characteristic polynomials of matrices drawn uniformly with respect to Haar measure from the groups U(N), O(2N) and USp(2N). In each case the result can be expressed in…

We study the computational power of unitary Clifford circuits with solely magic state inputs (CM circuits), supplemented by classical efficient computation. We show that CM circuits are hard to classically simulate up to multiplicative…

Let G be a locally compact group, let X be a universal proper G-space, and let Z be a G-equivariant compactification of X that is H-equivariantly contractible for each compact subgroup H of G. Let W be the resulting boundary. Assuming the…

Recently, Sawin and Wood (arXiv:math/2210.06279) proved a formula for the distribution of a random abelian group $G$ in terms of its $H$-moments $\mathbb{E} [\#\operatorname{Sur}(G,H)]$. We show that properties of Macdonald polynomials…

We consider a version of the extended Clifford Group which is defined in terms of a finite Galois field in odd prime power dimension. We show that Neuhauser's result, that with the appropriate choice of phases the standard (or metaplectic)…

We study the power spectrum of eigen-angles of random matrices drawn from the circular unitary ensemble ${\rm CUE}(N)$ and show that it can be evaluated in terms of either a Fredholm determinant, or a Toeplitz determinant, or a sixth…

We argue semiclassically, on the basis of Gutzwiller's periodic-orbit theory, that full classical chaos is paralleled by quantum energy spectra with universal spectral statistics, in agreement with random-matrix theory. For dynamics from…

We establish a new connection between moments of $n \times n$ random matrices $X_n$ and hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. Specifically, we consider moments $\mathbb{E}\mathrm{Tr} X_n^{-s}$ as a function of the complex variable $s \in…

Recent theoretical studies of chaotic scattering have encounted ensembles of random matrices in which the eigenvalue probability density function contains a one-body factor with an exponent proportional to the number of eigenvalues. Two…

We present a new combinatorial and conjectural algorithm for computing the Mullineux involution for the symmetric group and its Hecke algebra. This algorithm is built on a conjectural property of crystal isomorphisms which can be rephrased…

Hector, Mac\'{\i}as-Virg\'os, and Sanmart\'{\i}n-Carb\'on identified the complex of diffeological differential forms on the leaf space of a foliation with the complex of basic forms on the foliated manifold, yielding a canonical isomorphism…

By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…

In this paper, we review the theory of time space-harmonic polynomials developed by using a symbolic device known in the literature as the classical umbral calculus. The advantage of this symbolic tool is twofold. First a moment…

We give an asymptotic formula for the $2k$th moment of a sum of multiplicative Steinhaus variables. This was recently computed independently by Harper, Nikeghbali and Radziwi\l\l. We also compute the $2k$th moment of a truncated…

Denoting by $P_N(A,\theta)=\det(I-Ae^{-i\theta})$ the characteristic polynomial on the unit circle in the complex plane of an $N\times N$ random unitary matrix $A$, we calculate the $k$th moment, defined with respect to an average over…

We study some connections between the random moment problem and the random matrix theory. A uniform draw in a space of moments can be lifted into the spectral probability measure of the pair (A,e) where A is a random matrix from a classical…

Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…

Liouville's theorem says that in dimension greater than two, all conformal maps are M\"obius transformations. We prove an analogous statement about simplicial complexes, where two simplicial complexes are considered discretely conformally…

We introduce Magic Gems, a geometric representation of magic squares as three-dimensional polyhedra. By mapping an n times n magic square onto a centered coordinate grid with cell values as vertical displacements, we construct a point cloud…

Using geometric methods, we improve on the function field version of the Burgess bound, and show that, when restricted to certain special subspaces, the M\"{o}bius function over $\mathbb F_q[T]$ can be mimicked by Dirichlet characters.…
