We prove general nonlinear large deviation estimates similar to Chatterjee-Dembo's original bounds except that we do not require any second order smoothness. Our approach relies on convex analysis arguments and is valid for a broad class of…

We consider random labelings of finite graphs conditioned on a small fixed number of peaks. We introduce a continuum framework where a combinatorial graph is associated with a metric graph and edges are identified with intervals. Next we…

We revisit the classical question of the relationship between the diameter of a graph and its expansion properties. One direction is well understood: expander graphs exhibit essentially the lowest possible diameter. We focus on the reverse…

We study the monomer--dimer partition function on the configuration model of random $d$-regular, $l$-uniform hypergraphs. For fixed $d,l\ge2$, we prove quenched free-energy limits in explicit parameter regimes. The proof combines…

The bead model is a random point field on $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{R}$ which can be viewed as a scaling limit of dimer model. We prove that, in the scaling limit, the normalized height function of a uniformly chosen random bead…
