For random integer matrices $M_1,\ldots,M_k \in \operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ with independent entries, we study the distribution of the cokernel $\operatorname{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_k)$ of their product. We show that this distribution…
We prove universality for cokernels of random integral matrices with symmetries via an approach different from the classical surjection moment method introduced by Wood (arXiv:1402.5149). In the symmetric case, we reprove Hodges'…
Let $R$ be a finite local ring. We prove a quantitative universality statement for the cokernel of random matrices with i.i.d. entries valued in $R$. Rather than use the moment method, we use the Lindeberg replacement technique. This…
We study time-inhomogeneous random walks on finite groups in the case where each random walk step need not be supported on a generating set of the group. When the supports of the random walk steps satisfy a natural condition involving…
We prove that given any $\epsilon>0$, random integral $n\times n$ matrices with independent entries that lie in any residue class modulo a prime with probability at most $1-\epsilon$ have cokernels asymptotically (as $n\rightarrow\infty$)…
Let A be an n by n random matrix with iid entries taken from the p-adic integers or Z/NZ. Then under mild non-degeneracy conditions the cokernel of A has a universal probability distribution. In particular, the p-part of an iid random…
We study the joint distribution of random abelian and non-abelian groups. In the abelian case, we prove several universality results for the joint distribution of the multiple cokernels for random $p$-adic matrices. In the non-abelian case,…
In this paper, we study the distribution of the cokernels of random $p$-adic matrices with fixed zero entries. Let $X_n$ be a random $n \times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ in which some entries are fixed to be zero and the other entries…
For a random matrix of entries sampled independently from a fairly general distribution in Z we study the probability that the cokernel is isomorphic to a given finite abelian group, or when it is cyclic. This includes the probability that…
In this paper, we study cokernels of random $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb Z$ with symmetry conditions determined by fixed alternating bilinear forms on $\mathbb Z^n$. These include perturbations of random symmetric matrices at a very…
The four moment theorem asserts, roughly speaking, that the joint distribution of a small number of eigenvalues of a Wigner random matrix (when measured at the scale of the mean eigenvalue spacing) depends only on the first four moments of…
In this paper, we determine the sharp threshold for universality of cokernels of random matrices over finite fields. More precisely, we prove the following: given any constant $c>1$, let $A(n)$ be a random $n \times n$ matrix over…
Given a prime $p$, let $P(t)$ be a non-constant monic polynomial in $t$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ of $p$-adic integers. Let $X_{n}$ be an $n \times n$ random matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ with independent entries that lie in any residue…
We prove new statistical results about the distribution of the cokernel of a random integral matrix with a concentrated residue. Given a prime $p$ and a positive integer $n$, consider a random $n \times n$ matrix $X_n$ over the ring…
Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with the finite residue field $R/\mathfrak{m} = \mathbb{F}_{q}$. Given a monic polynomial $P(t) \in R[t]$ whose reduction modulo $\mathfrak{m}$ gives an irreducible polynomial…
In this paper, we study the distribution of the cokernel of a general random Hermitian matrix over the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ of a quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. For each positive integer $n$, let $X_n$ be a random $n…
For $n \times n$ random integer matrices $M_1,\ldots,M_k$, the cokernels of the partial products $\mathrm{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_i), 1 \leq i \leq k$ naturally define a random flag of abelian $p$-groups. We prove that as $n \to \infty$, this…
Given a prime $p$ and a positive integer $k$, let $\mathrm{M}_{n}(\mathbb{Z}/p^{k}\mathbb{Z})$ be the ring of $n \times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{k}\mathbb{Z}$. We consider the number of solutions $X \in…
In this note, we study the distribution of the rational canonical form of a random matrix over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, whose entries are independent and $\epsilon$-balanced with $\epsilon\in(0,1-1/p]$. We show that, as the matrix…
In this paper, we study the joint distribution of the cokernels of random $p$-adic matrices. Let $p$ be a prime and $P_1(t), \cdots, P_l(t) \in \mathbb{Z}_p[t]$ be monic polynomials whose reductions modulo $p$ in $\mathbb{F}_p[t]$ are…
