We study the random conductance model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with ergodic, unbounded conductances. We prove a Gaussian lower bound on the heat kernel given a polynomial moment condition and some additional assumptions on the correlations of the…
We study a generalization of the Random Energy Model to the case when the number of exponential factors varies at random. Also a relation between REM and the Erd"os-R'enyi limit theorem for maximums of partial sums is considered.
The continuous random energy model (CREM) is a toy model of disordered systems introduced by Bovier and Kurkova in 2004 based on previous work by Derrida and Spohn in the 80s. In a recent paper by Addario-Berry and Maillard, they raised the…
Rank 1 inhomogeneous random graphs are a natural generalization of Erd\H{o}s R\'enyi random graphs. In this generalization each node is given a weight. Then the probability that an edge is present depends on the product of the weights of…
The use of the full potential of stellar seismology is made difficult by the improper modeling of the upper-most layers of solar-like stars and their influence on the modeled frequencies. Our knowledge on these \emph{surface effects} has…
We study the problem of identifying change points in high-dimensional generalized linear models, and propose an approach based on sample-weighted empirical risk minimization. Our method, Weighted ERM, encodes priors on the change points via…
Energy-based models (EBMs) are powerful probabilistic models, but suffer from intractable sampling and density evaluation due to the partition function. As a result, inference in EBMs relies on approximate sampling algorithms, leading to a…
Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual parameters that are often used as heuristic estimates of the marginal…
One of important questions concerning particles which compose the Dark Matter (DM) is their average speed. We consider the model of relativistic weakly interacting massive particles and try to impose an upper bound on their actual and past…
We extend the classical edge-triangle Exponential Random Graph Model (ERGM) to an inhomogeneous setting in which vertices carry types determined by an underlying partition. This leads to a block-structured ERGM where interaction parameters…

The Quantum Random Energy Model (QREM) is a random matrix of Anderson-type which describes effects of a transversal magnetic field on Derrida's spin glass. The model exhibits a glass phase as well as a classical and a quantum paramagnetic…
In this paper, we present a technically simple method to establish upper bounds on the expected injective norm of real and complex random tensors. Our approach is somewhat analogous to the moment method in random matrix theory, and is based…
For random dynamical systems, by summarizing the fundamental properties of Kifer's topological pressure we introduce the concept of random pressure functions, and define Ruelle's metric entropy for invariant measures. Employing the…
Disordered systems such as spin glasses have been used extensively as models for high-dimensional random landscapes and studied from the perspective of optimization algorithms. In a recent paper by L. Addario-Berry and the second author,…

We consider a sequence of random Hamiltonians $H_n(h,\sigma)=\sum^n_{i=1}h_i(\sigma_i-m)$, and study the asymptotic ($n\to \infty$) distribution of the energy levels $(H_n(h,\sigma))_{\sigma\in \{-1,1\}^n}$, where $h_1,h_2,\cdots$ are…
We study a generalization of the model introduced by Kistler and Schmidt in $2015$, that interpolates between the random energy model (REM) and the branching random walk (BRW). More precisely, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour…
We establish the first known upper bound on the exact and Wyner's common information of $n$ continuous random variables in terms of the dual total correlation between them (which is a generalization of mutual information). In particular, we…
