We give new lower and upper bounds on the permanent of a doubly stochastic matrix. Combined with previous work, this improves on the deterministic approximation factor for the permanent. We also give a combinatorial application of the lower…

In this note we settle two open problems in the theory of permanents by using recent results from other areas of mathematics. Bapat conjectured that certain quotients of permanents, which generalize symmetric function means, are concave. We…

We present a method of representing an element of $\mathbb{F}_3^n$ as an element of $\mathbb{F}_n^2 \times \mathbb{F}_n^2$ which in practice will be a pair of unsigned integers. We show how to do addition, subtraction and pointwise…

Let $M$ be a random matrix in the orthogonal group $\O_n$, distributed according to Haar measure, and let $A$ be a fixed $n\times n$ matrix over $\R$ such that $\tr(AA^t)=n$. Then the total variation distance of the random variable…

We give a probabilistic introduction to determinantal and permanental point processes. Determinantal processes arise in physics (fermions, eigenvalues of random matrices) and in combinatorics (nonintersecting paths, random spanning trees).…

This is a survey of results about permanental processes, real valued positive processes which are a generalization of squares of Gaussian processes. In a certain sense the symmetric positive definite function that determines a Gaussian…

The main purpose of this paper of the paper is an explicite construction of generalized Gaussian process with function $t_b(V)=b^{H(V)}$, where $H(V)=n-h(V)$, $h(V)$ is the number of singletons in a pair-partition $V \in \st{P}_2(2n)$. This…
