We consider the fluctuations in the stochastic growth of a one-dimensional interface of height $h(x,t)$ described by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. We study the joint probability distribution function (JPDF) of the…
We study the dimer model on special subgraphs of the square hexagon lattice called "tower graphs" of size $N$. Using integrable probability techniques, we confirm that as $N \rightarrow \infty$, the local statistics are translation…

We study probability density functions that are log-concave. Despite the space of all such densities being infinite-dimensional, the maximum likelihood estimate is the exponential of a piecewise linear function determined by finitely many…
Using the weak-noise theory, we evaluate the probability distribution $\mathcal{P}(H,t)$ of large deviations of height $H$ of the evolving surface height $h(x,t)$ in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in one dimension when starting from…
We investigate the zero-temperature glassy transitions in the square-lattice +- J Ising model, with bond distribution $P(J_{xy}) = p \delta(J_{xy} - J) + (1-p) \delta(J_{xy} + J)$; p=1 and p=1/2 correspond to the pure Ising model and to the…
We calculate universal finite size scaling functions for the order parameter and the longitudinal susceptibility of the three-dimensional O(4) model. The phase transition of this model is supposed to be in the same universality class as the…
The aim of this note is to state a couple of general results about the properties of the penalized maximum likelihood estimators (pMLE) and of the posterior distribution for parametric models in a non-asymptotic setup and for possibly large…
This paper considers the maximum likelihood estimation of factor models of high dimension, where the number of variables (N) is comparable with or even greater than the number of observations (T). An inferential theory is developed. We…
Percolation theory is usually applied to lattices with a uniform probability p that a site is occupied or that a bond is closed. The more general case, where p is a function of the position x, has received less attention. Previous studies…
We study the 2D Ising model on three different types of lattices that are topologically equivalent to spheres. The geometrical shapes are reminiscent of the surface of a pillow, a 3D cube and a sphere, respectively. Systems of volumes…
We present a numerical study of the evolution of height distributions (HDs) obtained in interface growth models belonging to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. The growth is done on an initially flat substrate. The HDs…
Transfer-matrix methods are used to calculate spin-spin correlation functions ($G$), Helmholtz free energies ($f$) and magnetizations ($m$) in the two-dimensional random-field Ising model close to the zero-field bulk critical temperature…
We investigate three Ising models on the simple cubic lattice by means of Monte Carlo methods and finite-size scaling. These models are the spin-1/2 Ising model with nearest-neighbor interactions, a spin-1/2 model with nearest-neighbor and…
We explore the Wilks phenomena in two random graph models: the $\beta$-model and the Bradley-Terry model. For two increasing dimensional null hypotheses, including a specified null $H_0: \beta_i=\beta_i^0$ for $i=1,\ldots, r$ and a…
This paper presents the asymptotic analysis of random lattices in high dimensions to clarify the distance properties of the considered lattices. These properties not only indicate the asymptotic value for the distance between any pair of…

The probability density function (PDF) of a global measure in a large class of highly correlated systems has been suggested to be of the same functional form. Here, we identify the analytical form of the PDF of one such measure, the order…
We study asymptotics of perfect matchings on a large class of graphs called the contracting square-hexagon lattice, which is constructed row by row from either a row of a square grid or a row of a hexagonal lattice. We assign the graph…
