We extend the notions of finite free convolution and finite free cumulants to the setting of formal power series by introducing their natural analogues, namely $t$-deformed convolution and $t$-deformed cumulants. In this framework, we…

In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of the second moment of the Selberg zeta function for a Fuchsian group of the first kind at $\sigma = 1$. The prime geodesic theorem plays a crucial role in this context. The proof extends to…

A curious generating function $S_0(x)$ for permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $n$ inversions is presented. Moreover, $(xC(x))^iS_0(x)$ is shown to be the generating function for permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $n-i$ inversions, where…

This paper presents an algorithmic method for generating random orthogonal matrices \(A\) that satisfy the property \(A^t S A = S\), where \(S\) is a fixed real invertible symmetric or skew-symmetric matrix. This method is significant as it…

The most well-known mechanism for fermions to acquire a mass is the Nambu-Goldstone-Anderson-Higgs mechanism, i.e. after a spontaneous symmetry breaking, a bosonic field that couples to the fermion mass term condenses, which grants a mass…

For a subshift $(X, \sigma_X)$ and a subadditive sequence $\mathcal{F}=\{\log f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $X$, we study equivalent conditions for the existence of $h\in C(X)$ such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}(1/{n})\int \log f_n d \mu=\int…
