Lattice models are valuable tools to gain insight into the statistical physics of heteropolymers. We rigorously map the partition function of these models into a vacuum expectation value of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory (LGT), with…
We explore the relationship between possibility measures (supremum preserving normed measures) and p-boxes (pairs of cumulative distribution functions) on totally preordered spaces, extending earlier work in this direction by De Cooman and…
We construct Pfaffian L-ensembles related to the z-measures on partitions and to the Plancherel measures on partitions with the Jack parameters 1/2 or 2. The results imply that these measures on partitions lead to Pfaffian point processes,…
We describe a uniform way of obtaining basic hypergeometric functions as limits of the elliptic beta integral. This description gives rise to the construction of a polytope with a different basic hypergeometric function attached to each…
Product measures of dimension $n$ are known to be concentrated in Hamming distance: for any set $S$ in the product space of probability $\epsilon$, a random point in the space, with probability $1-\delta$, has a neighbor in $S$ that is…
The paper is devoted to a study of phase transitions in the Hermitian random matrix models with a polynomial potential. In an alternative equivalent language, we study families of equilibrium measures on the real line in a polynomial…
Classical two-sample permutation tests for equality of distributions have exact size in finite samples, but they fail to control size for testing equality of parameters that summarize each distribution. This paper proposes permutation tests…
We give a streamlined proof of a quantitative version of a result from [DG1] which is crucial for the proof of universality in the bulk [DG1] and also at the edge [DG2] for orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices. As a…
A fundamental question in random matrix theory is to quantify the optimal rate of convergence to universal laws. We take up this problem for the Laguerre $\beta$ ensemble, characterised by the Dyson parameter $\beta$, and the Laguerre…
This is a review of the Riemann-Hilbert approach to the large $N$ asymptotics in random matrix models and its applications. We discuss the following topics: random matrix models and orthogonal polynomials, the Riemann-Hilbert approach to…
We introduce a two-parameter family of probability distributions, indexed by $\beta/2 = \theta > 0$ and $K \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$, that are called $\beta$-Krawtchouk corners processes. These measures are related to Jack symmetric…
We present three methods to construct majorizing measures in various settings. These methods are based on direct constructions of increasing sequences of partitions through a simple exhaustion procedure rather than on the construction of…
We show that the natural scaling of measurement for a particular problem defines the most likely probability distribution of observations taken from that measurement scale. Our approach extends the method of maximum entropy to use…
The Mallows measure is a probability measure on $S_n$ where the probability of a permutation $\pi$ is proportional to $q^{l(\pi)}$ with $q > 0$ being a parameter and $l(\pi)$ the number of inversions in $\pi$. We show the convergence of the…
We consider random polynomials of the form $G_n(z):= \sum_{|\alpha|\leq n} \xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}p_{n,\alpha}(z)$ where $\{\xi^{(n)}_{\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ are i.i.d. (complex) random variables and $\{p_{n,\alpha}\}_{|\alpha|\leq n}$ form…
Split conformal prediction provides finite-sample marginal coverage under exchangeability, but this guarantee averages over the random calibration sample. We study instead the law of the calibration-conditional coverage induced by a…
Let $\lambda$ be a partition of the positive integer $n$, selected uniformly at random among all such partitions. Corteel et al. (1999) proposed three different procedures of sampling parts of $\lambda$ at random. They obtained limiting…
We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of a quotient of two products of gamma functions, where the argument of each gamma function has different scaling factor. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms…
We consider multilinear Littlewood polynomials, polynomials in $n$ variables in which a specified set of monomials $U$ have $\pm 1$ coefficients, and all other coefficients are $0$. We provide upper and lower bounds (which are close for $U$…
In the second part of the paper we consider a convolution of probability measures on spaces of locally finite configurations (subsets of a phase space) as well as their connection with the convolution of the corresponding correlation…
