For a class of random band matrices of band width $W$, we prove regularity of the average spectral measure at scales $\epsilon \geq W^{-0.99}$, and find its asymptotics at these scales.

Motivated by the latest effort to employ banded matrices to estimate a high-dimensional covariance $\Sigma$, we propose a test for $\Sigma$ being banded with possible diverging bandwidth. The test is adaptive to the "large $p$, small $n$"…

Quantum state lifetimes $T_2$, or equivalently homogeneous linewidths $\Gamma_h = 1/\pi T_2$, are a key parameter for understanding decoherence processes in quantum systems and assessing their potential for applications in quantum…

We compute the weak lensing convergence power spectrum, $C^{\kappa\kappa}(\theta)$, in a dust-filled universe using fully non-linear general relativistic simulations. The spectrum is then compared to more standard, approximate calculations…
