These expository notes are centered around the circular law theorem, which states that the empirical spectral distribution of a nxn random matrix with i.i.d. entries of variance 1/n tends to the uniform law on the unit disc of the complex…
We show the existence of Lebesgue-equivalent conservative and ergodic $\sigma$-finite invariant measures for a wide class of one-dimensional random maps consisting of piecewise convex maps. We also estimate the size of invariant measures…
We study a class of Hermitian random matrices which includes and generalizes Wigner matrices, heavy-tailed random matrices, and sparse random matrices such as the adjacency matrices of Erdos-Renyi random graphs with p ~ 1/N. Our NxN random…
Let $p(n)$ be the number of all integer partitions of the positive integer $n$ and let $\lambda$ be a partition, selected uniformly at random from among all such $p(n)$ partitions. It is known that each partition $\lambda$ has a unique…
Littlewood-Richardson (LR) coefficients $c_{\mu\nu}^\lambda$ may be evaluated by means of several combinatorial models, including the original LR tableaux of skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ and weight $\nu$ and the LR hives with boundary edge…
The classical Robinson--Schensted--Knuth correspondence is a bijection from nonnegative integer matrices to pairs of semi-standard Young tableaux. Based on the work of, among others, Burge, Hillman, Grassl, Knuth and Gansner, it is known…
The object of study is a soft random geometric graph with vertices given by a Poisson point process on a line and edges between vertices present with probability that has a polynomial decay in the distance between them. Various aspects of…
Consider an m by N matrix Phi with the Restricted Isometry Property of order k and level delta, that is, the norm of any k-sparse vector in R^N is preserved to within a multiplicative factor of 1 +- delta under application of Phi. We show…
Percolation and jamming phenomena are investigated for random sequential deposition of rectangular needles on $d=2$ square lattices. Associated thresholds $p_c^{perc}$ and $p_c^{jam}$ are determined for various needle sizes. Their ratios…
We establish and analyze a new relationship between the matrices describing an arbitrary component of a spin $s$, where $2s\in \mathbb{Z}^+$, and the matrices of $\mathbb{C}P^{2s}$ two-dimensional Euclidean sigma models. The spin matrices…
Random planar maps are considered in the physics literature as the discrete counterpart of random surfaces. It is conjectured that properly rescaled random planar maps, when conditioned to have a large number of faces, should converge to a…
Let $U$ and $V$ be two independent $N$ by $N$ random matrices that are distributed according to Haar measure on $U(N)$. Let $\Sigma$ be a non-negative deterministic $N$ by $N$ matrix. The single ring theorem [26] asserts that the empirical…
Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. Consider the composition of a uniformly random element of $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,S_n)$ with the $(n-1)$-dimensional irreducible representation of…
In a previous paper (called "Rectangular random matrices. Related covolution"), we defined, for $\lambda \in [0,1]$, the rectangular free convolution with ratio $\lambda$. Here, we investigate the related notion of infinite divisiblity,…
In recent years various results about locally symmetric manifolds were proven using probabilistic approaches. One of the approaches is to consider random manifolds by associating a probability measure to the space of discrete subgroups of…
Conditional on the extended Riemann hypothesis, we show that with high probability, the characteristic polynomial of a random symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrix is irreducible. This addresses a question raised by Eberhard in recent work. The main…
We view the RSK correspondence as associating to each permutation $\pi \in S_n$ a Young diagram $\lambda=\lambda(\pi)$, i.e. a partition of $n$. Suppose now that $\pi$ is left-multiplied by $t$ transpositions, what is the largest number of…
In a uniform random permutation \Pi of [n] := {1,2,...,n}, the set of elements k in [n-1] such that \Pi(k+1) = \Pi(k) + 1 has the same distribution as the set of fixed points of \Pi that lie in [n-1]. We give three different proofs of this…
Particles labelled $1,...,n$ are initially arranged in increasing order. Subsequently, each pair of neighboring particles that is currently in increasing order swaps according to a Poisson process of rate 1. We analyze the asymptotic…
We study a class of corner growth models in which the weights are either all exponentially or all geometrically distributed. The parameter of the distribution at site $(i, j)$ is $a_i+b_j$ in the exponential case and $a_ib_j$ in the…
