For any integer $n\geq 2$, we prove that for any large enough integer $d$, with large probability the injectivity radius of a random degree $d$ complex hypersurface in $\C P^n$ is larger than $d^{-\frac{1}2(3n+2)}$. Here the hypersurface is…
We compute the leading asymptotics of the maximum of the (centered) logarithm of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial, denoted $\Psi_N$, of the Ginibre ensemble as the dimension $N$ of the random matrix tends to infinity. The…
We study the class of polynomials that map a local field (i.e., the completion of a number field at a non-Archimedean place) into the subset of its $p$-th powers, where $p$ is the residue characteristic of the field in question. We present…
We show that the Newton polytope of a polynomial has a strong impact on the distribution of its mass and zeros. The basic theme is that Newton polytopes determine allowed and forbidden regions for these distributions. We equip the space of…
We consider finite dimensional representations of the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two where $p$ is an odd integer and study the degrees of generating and separating polynomials in the…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure in $\mathbb{C}$ with a continuous and compactly supported density function, let $z_1, \dots, z_n$ be independent random variables, $z_i \sim \mu$, and consider the random polynomial $$ p_n(z) =…
We study the circumradius of a random section of an $\ell_p$-ellipsoid, $0<p\le \infty$, and compare it with the minimal circumradius over all sections with subspaces of the same codimension. Our main result is an upper bound for random…
For a square matrix, the range of its Rayleigh quotients is known as the numerical range, which is a compact and convex set by the Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem. The largest value and the smallest boundary value (in magnitude) of this convex…
Optimal matrices for problems involving the matrix numerical radius often have fields of values that are disks, a phenomenon associated with partial smoothness. Such matrices are highly structured: we experiment in particular with the…
We consider the problem of embedding one i.i.d.\ collection of Bernoulli random variables indexed by $\mathbb{Z}^d$ into an independent copy in an injective $M$-Lipschitz manner. For the case $d=1$, it was shown by Basu and Sly (PTRF, 2014)…
We consider Bernoulli measures $\mu_p$ on the interval $[0,1]$. For the standard Lebesgue measure the digits $0$ and $1$ in the binary representation of real numbers appear with an equal probability $1/2$. For the Bernoulli measures, the…
We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…
An important quantity associated with a complex polynomial $p(z)$ is $\Vert p \Vert_\infty$, the maximum of its modulus over the unit disc $D$. We prove, $z_* \in D$ is a local maximum of $|p(z)|$ if and only if $a_*$ satisfies,…
We show that for Gaussian random SU(m+1) polynomials of a large degree N the probability that there are no zeros in the disk of radius r is less than $e^{-c_{1,r} N^{m+1}}$, and is also greater than $e^{-c_{2,r} N^{m+1}}$. Enroute to this…
The injective polynomial modules for a general linear group $G$ of degree $n$ are labelled by the partitions with at most $n$ parts. Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we consider the question of which…
We point out a simple criterion for convergence of polynomials to a concrete entire function in the Laguerre-P\'{o}lya ($\mathcal{LP}$) class (of all functions arising as uniform limits of polynomials with only real roots). We then use this…
The study of inner and cyclic functions in $\ell^p_A$ spaces requires a better understanding of the zeros of the so-called optimal polynomial approximants. We determine that a point of the complex plane is the zero of an optimal polynomial…
Conditional on the extended Riemann hypothesis, we show that with high probability, the characteristic polynomial of a random symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrix is irreducible. This addresses a question raised by Eberhard in recent work. The main…
Consider a random set of points on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which can be either uniformly sampled or a Poisson point process. Its convex hull is a random inscribed polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the…
We develop a theory of multidimensional randomization in Lebesgue spaces $L^p$ with the aid of Kahane-Khintchine-Marcus-Pisier inequalities. More precisely, we obtain a result in the spirit of Maurey-Pisier's theorem which involves random…
