We show the existence of rigid combinatorial objects which previously were not known to exist. Specifically, for a wide range of the underlying parameters, we show the existence of non-trivial orthogonal arrays, $t$-designs, and $t$-wise…
Biggins [Uniform convergence of martingales in the branching random walk. {\em Ann. Probab.}, 20(1):137--151, 1992] proved local uniform convergence of additive martingales in $d$-dimensional supercritical branching random walks at complex…
In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation…
We discuss the relationship between ratio asymptotics for general orthogonal polynomials and the asymptotics of the associated Bergman shift operator. More specifically, we consider the case in which a measure is supported on an infinite…
In a companion paper \cite{jon-fei}, we established asymptotic formulae for the joint moments of derivatives of the characteristic polynomials of CUE random matrices. The leading order coefficients of these asymptotic formulae are expressed…
The Hankel determinants of certain automatic sequences $f$ are evaluated, based on a calculation modulo a prime number. In most cases, the Hankel determinants of automatic sequences do not have any closed-form expressions; the traditional…
We obtain "large gap" asymptotics for a Fredholm determinant with a confluent hypergeometric kernel. We also obtain asymptotics for determinants with two types of Bessel kernels which appeared in random matrix theory.
Polynomial ensembles are determinantal point processes associated with (non necessarily orthogonal) projections onto polynomial subspaces. The aim of this survey article is to put forward the use of recurrence coefficients to obtain the…
We investigate the simplest class of hyperdeterminants defined by Cayley in the case of Hankel hypermatrices (tensors of the form $A_{i_1i_2... i_k}=f(i_1+i_2+...+i_k)$). It is found that many classical properties of Hankel determinants can…
The rate of convergence of simple random walk on the Heisenberg group over $Z/nZ$ with a standard generating set was determined by Bump et al [1,2]. We extend this result to random walks on the same groups with an arbitrary minimal…
We investigate the linear statistics of random matrices with purely imaginary Bernoulli entries of the form $H_{pq} = \overline{H}_{qp} = \pm i$, that are either independently distributed or exhibit global correlations imposed by the…
We study Toeplitz operators on the Bargmann space, with Toeplitz symbols that are exponentials of inhomogeneous quadratic polynomials. It is shown that the boundedness of such operators is implied by the boundedness of the corresponding…
It is well known that square matrices with independent and identically distributed (iid) random entries are typically well conditioned. A natural question is whether this favorable behavior persists for random matrices whose entries obey…
In this document we achieve exact and asymptotic enumeration of words, compositions over a finite group, and/or integer compositions characterized by local restrictions and, separately, subsequence pattern avoidance. We also count…
A semi-infinite weighted Hankel matrix with entries defined in terms of basic hypergeometric series is explicitly diagonalized as an operator on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N}_{0})$. The approach uses the fact that the operator commutes with a…
This article deals with the limiting spectral distributions (LSD) of symmetric Toeplitz and Hankel matrices with dependent entries. For any fixed positive integer $m$, we consider these $n \times n$ matrices with entries $\{Y^{(m)}_j /…
Lock step walker model is a one-dimensional integer lattice walker model in discrete time. Suppose that initially there are infinitely many walkers on the non-negative even integer sites. At each tick of time, each walker moves either to…
For $ t \in [0,1]$ let $\underline{H}_{2\lfloor nt \rfloor} = ( m_{i+j})_{i,j=0}^{\lfloor nt \rfloor} $ denote the Hankel matrix of order $2\lfloor nt \rfloor$ of a random vector $(m_1,\ldots ,m_{2n})$ on the moment space…
In this (partly expository) paper we give a short overview about the close relationship between the sequence of Catalan numbers and Hankel determinants from the point of view of orthogonal polynomials and show that an analogous situation…
We study the limiting spectral measure of large symmetric random matrices of linear algebraic structure. For Hankel and Toeplitz matrices generated by i.i.d. random variables $\{X_k\}$ of unit variance, and for symmetric Markov matrices…
