The scaled distribution of the smallest eigenvalue in the Laguerre orthogonal and symplectic ensembles is evaluated in terms of a Painlev\'e V transcendent. This same Painlev\'e V transcendent is known from the work of Tracy and Widom,…
We consider unitary invariant random matrix ensembles which obey spectral statistics different from the Wigner-Dyson, including unitary ensembles with slowly (~(log x)^2) growing potentials and the finite-temperature fermi gas model. If the…
Let A be an n x n symmetric random matrix whose upper-triangular entries are independent and follow possibly non-identical subgaussian distributions. This paper investigates the spectral properties of A, including its eigenvalues and…
We study the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}$ of $N \times N$ random matrices in the limit of large $N$. The main focus is on Gaussian $\beta$-ensembles, including in particular the Gaussian orthogonal ($\beta=1$),…
In order to have a better understanding of finite random matrices with non-Gaussian entries, we study the $1/N$ expansion of local eigenvalue statistics in both the bulk and at the hard edge of the spectrum of random matrices. This gives…
This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of random covariance matrices, both in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum. In a preceding paper, the author established analogous results for…
In this paper we study, $\textsf{Prob}(n,a,b),$ the probability that all the eigenvalues of finite $n$ unitary ensembles lie in the interval $(a,b)$. This is identical to the probability that the largest eigenvalue is less than $b$ and the…
Fine resolution of the discrete eigenvalues at the spectral edge of an $N\times N$ random matrix is required in many applications. Starting from a finite-size scaling ansatz for the Stieltjes transform of the maximum likelihood spectrum, we…

In this study, potential scatterings are formulated in experimental setups with Gaussian wave packets in accordance with a probability principle and associativity of products. A breaking of an associativity is observed in scalar products…
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 overdamped Langevin diffusions in Euclidean space, with curvature equal to the spectral gap. This includes the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as well as non-Gaussian and non-product extensions with convex interaction, such as the…
Novel sequences of approximants to solutions of Painlev\'e II on finite intervals of the real line, with Neumann boundary conditions, are constructed. Numerical experiments strongly suggest convergence of these sequences in a surprisingly…
About forty years ago it was realized by several researchers that the essential features of certain objects of Probability theory, notably Gaussian processes and limit theorems, may be better understood if they are considered in settings…
This paper proves universality of the distribution of the smallest and largest gaps between eigenvalues of generalized Wigner matrices, under some smoothness assumption for the density of the entries. The proof relies on the Erd{\H…
Consider percolation on $T\times \mathbb{Z}^d$, the product of a regular tree of degree $k\geq 3$ with the hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. It is known that this graph has $0<p_c<p_u<1$, so that there are non-trivial regimes in which…
We describe the fluctuations of the overlap between two replicas in the 2-spin spherical SK model about its limiting value in the low temperature phase. We show that the fluctuations are of order $N^{-1/3}$ and are given by a simple,…
The statistics of the slowest first-passage time among a large population of $N$ searchers is crucial for determining the completion time of many stochastic processes. Classical extreme-value theory predicts that for diffusing particles in…
For a broad class of unitary ensembles of random matrices we demonstrate the universal nature of the Janossy densities of eigenvalues near the spectral edge, providing a different formulation of the probability distributions of the limiting…
