Consider a random permutation of $kn$ objects that permutes $n$ disjoint blocks of size $k$ and then permutes elements within each block. Normalizing its cycle lengths by $kn$ gives a random partition of unity, and we derive the limit law…

We study random spatial permutations on Z^3 where each jump x -> \pi(x) is penalized by a factor exp(-T ||x-\pi(x)||^2). The system is known to exhibit a phase transition for low enough T where macroscopic cycles appear. We observe that the…

Motivated by certain problems of statistical physics we consider a stationary stochastic process in which deterministic evolution is interrupted at random times by upward jumps of a fixed size. If the evolution consists of linear decay, the…

Asymptotics for Dickman's number theoretic function $\rho(u)$, as $u \rightarrow \infty$, were given de Bruijn and Alladi, and later in sharper form by Hildebrand and Tenenbaum. The perspective in these works is that of analytic number…

We study the length of cycles in the model of spatial random permutations in Euclidean space. In this model, for given length $L$, density $\rho$, dimension $d$ and jump density $\varphi$, one samples $\rho L^d$ particles in a…

We consider uniform random permutations of length $n$ conditioned to have no cycle longer than $n^\beta$ with $0<\beta<1$, in the limit of large $n$. Since in unconstrained uniform random permutations most of the indices are in cycles of…

We show that in the point process limit of the bulk eigenvalues of $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices, the probability of having no eigenvalue in a fixed interval of size $\lambda$ is given by \[\bigl(\…

This paper considers the limiting distribution of $\pi_{\lambda,\theta}$, the stationary distribution of the infinitely-many-alleles diffusion with symmetric overdominance \cite{MR1626158}. In \cite{MR2519357} the large deviation principle…

An important functional of Poisson random measure is the negative binomial process (NBP). We use NBP to introduce a generalized Poisson-Kingman distribution and its corresponding random discrete probability measure. This random discrete…

We construct a new class of infinite-dimensional diffusions taking values in a generalized Kingman simplex. Our model describes the temporal evolution of the relative frequencies of infinitely-many types which are "labeled" by an arbitrary…

We investigate through a Generalized Langevin formalism the phenomenon of anomalous diffusion for asymptotic times, and we generalized the concept of the diffusion exponent. A method is proposed to obtain the diffusion coefficient…

We study spatial permutations with cycle weights that are bounded or slowly diverging. We show that a phase transition occurs at an explicit critical density. The long cycles are macroscopic and their cycle lengths satisfy a…

This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of parameter estimation for the Ewens--Pitman partition with parameters $0<\alpha<1$ and $\theta>-\alpha$. Especially, we show that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of $\alpha$ is…

In 1991 De Giorgi conjectured that, given $\lambda >0$, if $\mu_\varepsilon$ stands for the density of the Allen-Cahn energy and $v_\varepsilon$ represents its first variation, then $\int [v_\varepsilon^2 + \lambda] d\mu_\varepsilon$ should…

The mean density of a random closed set $\Theta$ in $\R^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $n$ is the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the expected measure $\E[\h^n(\Theta\cap\cdot)]$ induced by $\Theta$ with respect to the usual $d$-dimensional…

For a given graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_p$ denote the random spanning subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge independently with probability $p=p(k)$. We prove that if $p \ge \frac{\log k + \log \log k +…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be an open set of finite measure and let $\Theta$ be a disjoint union of two balls of half measure. We study the stability of the full Dirichlet spectrum of $\Omega$ when its second eigenvalue is close to…

Let L be a positive line bundle over a projective complex manifold X. Consider the space of holomorphic sections of the tensor power of order p of L. The determinant of a basis of this space, together with some given probability measure on…

In this paper, we are concerned with polymer models based on $\alpha$-stable processes, where $\alpha\in (\frac{d}{2},d\wedge 2)$ and $d$ stands for dimension. They are attached with a delta potential at the origin and the associated Gibbs…

A theory of the cosmological constant Lambda is currently out of reach. Still, one can start from a set of axioms that describe the most desirable properties a cosmological constant should have. This can be seen in certain analogy to the…
