We analyze the fluctuation of the number of individuals when two competing species, beginning with a few initial individuals, are submitted to a logistic growth. We show that when the total number of individuals reaches the carrying…

In the critical beta-splitting model of a random $n$-leaf rooted tree, clades are recursively split into sub-clades, and a clade of $m$ leaves is split into sub-clades containing $i$ and $m-i$ leaves with probabilities $\propto 1/(i(m-i))$.…

Motivated by the Koml\'os conjecture in combinatorial discrepancy, we study the discrepancy of random matrices with $m$ rows and $n$ independent columns drawn from a bounded lattice random variable. It is known that for $n$ tending to…

The late-time distribution function P(x,t) of a particle diffusing in a one-dimensional logarithmic potential is calculated for arbitrary initial conditions. We find a scaling solution with three surprising features: (i) the solution is…

Multitudinous probabilistic and combinatorial objects are associated with generating functions satisfying a composition scheme $F(z)=G(H(z))$. The analysis becomes challenging when this scheme is critical (i.e., $G$ and $H$ are…

We consider the limiting fluctuations of the geodesic in the directed landscape, conditioning on its length going to infinity. It was shown in \cite{Liu22b,Ganguly-Hegde-Zhang23} that when the directed landscape $\mathcal{L}(0,0;0,1) = L$…
