Representation theory of finite groups portrays a marvelous crossroad of group theory, algebraic combinatorics, and probability. In particular the Plancherel measure is a probability that arises naturally from representation theory, and in…

We study unitary random matrix ensembles in the critical case where the limiting mean eigenvalue density vanishes quadratically at an interior point of the support. We establish universality of the limits of the eigenvalue correlation…

In this paper, we study the uniform random covering problem in general metric space $(X,d)$. Let $\omega=(\omega_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ be a sequence of independent identically distributed random variables on $(X,\mu)$, and…

Let $d\mu$ be a probability measure on the unit circle and $d\nu$ be the measure formed by adding a pure point to $d\mu$. We give a simple formula for the Verblunsky coefficients of $d\nu$ based on a result of Simon. Then we consider…

We study a class of bistochastic matrices generalizing unistochastic matrices. Given a complex bipartite unitary operator, we construct a bistochastic matrix having as entries the normalized squares of Frobenius norm of the blocks. We show…

In this paper, we address the problem of constructing a uniform probability measure on $\mathbb{N}$. Of course, this is not possible within the bounds of the Kolmogorov axioms and we have to violate at least one axiom. We define a…

Since their introduction by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, covering systems (that is, finite collections of arithmetic progressions that cover the integers) have been extensively studied, and numerous questions and conjectures have been posed regarding…

We introduce a randomized iterative fragmentation procedure for finite metric spaces, which is guaranteed to result in a polynomially large subset that is $D$-equivalent to an ultrametric, where $D\in (2,\infty)$ is a prescribed target…

Conformal prediction is a powerful distribution-free framework for constructing prediction sets with coverage guarantees. Classical methods, such as split conformal prediction, provide marginal coverage, ensuring that the prediction set…

Universal dimensionless quantities, such as Binder ratios and wrapping probabilities, play an important role in the study of critical phenomena. We study the finite-size scaling behavior of the wrapping probability for the Potts model in…

We study the size of \emph{dynamical covering sets} on a self-similar set. Dynamical covering sets are limsup sets generated by placing shrinking target sets around points along an orbit in a dynamical system. In the case when the target…

Universal cover in $\mathbb{E}^{n}$ is a measurable set that contains a congruent copy of any set of diameter 1. Lebesgue's universal covering problem, posed in 1914, asks for the convex set of smallest area that serves as a universal cover…
