We show that the Riemannian Gaussian distributions on symmetric spaces, introduced in recent years, are of standard random matrix type. We exploit this to compute analytically marginals of the probability density functions. This can be done…

We consider $d$-dimensional random vectors $Y_1,\dots,Y_n$ that satisfy a mild general position assumption a.s. The hyperplanes \begin{align*} (Y_i-Y_j)^\perp\;\; (1\le i<j\le n). \end{align*} generate a conical tessellation of the…

Due to the lack of a canonical ordering in ${\mathbb R}^d$ for $d>1$, defining multivariate generalizations of the classical univariate ranks has been a long-standing open problem in statistics. Optimal transport has been shown to offer a…

Given a matrix $A\in \mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{Z})$. We study the pseudorandomness of vectors $\mathbf{u}_n$ generated by a linear recurrent relation of the form $$ \mathbf{u}_{n+1} \equiv A \mathbf{u}_n \pmod {p^t}, \qquad n = 0, 1, \ldots, $$…

In this paper we present several results on the expected complexity of a convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly and independently from a convex shape. (i) We show that the expected number of vertices of the convex hull of $n$ points,…

We consider random walks on the surface of the sphere $S_{n-1}$ ($n \geq 2$) of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E_n$, in short a hypersphere. By solving the diffusion equation in $S_{n-1}$ we show that the usual law $<r^2 > \varpropto…

Suppose that $\{G_n\}$ is a sequence of finite graphs such that each $G_n$ is the tangency graph of a sphere packing in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\rho_n$ be a uniformly random vertex of $G_n$ and suppose that $(G,\rho)$ is the distributional…

We consider an extended version of Horn's problem: given two orbits $\mathcal{O}_\alpha$ and $\mathcal{O}_\beta$ of a linear representation of a compact Lie group, let $A\in \mathcal{O}_\alpha$, $B\in \mathcal{O}_\beta$ be independent and…

We construct a random matrix model for the bijection \Psi between clas- sical and free infinitely divisible distributions: for every d\geq1, we associate in a quite natural way to each *-infinitely divisible distribution \mu a distribution…

The real sphere $S^{N-1}_\mathbb R$ appears as increasing union, over $d\in\{1,...,N\}$, of its "polygonal" versions $S^{N-1,d-1}_\mathbb R=\{x\in S^{N-1}_\mathbb R|x_{i_0}... x_{i_d}=0,\forall i_0,...,i_d\ {\rm distinct}\}$. Motivated by…

We build a new probability measure on closed space and plane polygons. The key construction is a map, given by Knutson and Hausmann using the Hopf map on quaternions, from the complex Stiefel manifold of 2-frames in n-space to the space of…

The random walk to be considered takes place in the d- spherical dual of the group U(n + 1), for a fixed finite dimensional irreducible representation d of U(n). The transition matrix comes from the three term recursion relation satisfied…

We study a random partial covering model on the $(d-1)$-dimensional unit sphere, where $N$ spherical caps are placed independently and uniformly at random, each covering a surface fraction of $1/N$. This model provides a continuous…

We consider consecutive random subdivision of polygons described as follows. Given an initial convex polygon with $d\ge 3$ edges, we choose a point at random on each edge, such that the proportions in which these points divide edges are…

We provide a probabilistic proof of the fundamental gap estimate for Schr\"odinger operators in convex domains on the sphere, which extends the probabilistic proof of F. Gong, H. Li, and D. Luo for the Euclidean case. Our results further…

Let $P$ and $Q$ be two convex polytopes both contained in the interior of an Euclidean ball $r\textbf{B}^{d}$. We prove that $P=Q$ provided that their sight cones from any point on the sphere $rS^{d-1}$ are congruent. We also prove an…

We analyze self-dual polyhedral cones and prove several properties about their slack matrices. In particular, we show that self-duality is equivalent to the existence of a positive semidefinite (PSD) slack. Beyond that, we show that if the…
