Random matrices are used in fields as different as the study of multi-orthogonal polynomials or the enumeration of discrete surfaces. Both of them are based on the study of a matrix integral. However, this term can be confusing since the…
The loop equations for a chain of hermitian random matrices are computed explicitely, including the 1/N^2 corrections. To leading order, the master loop equation reduces to an algebraic equation, whose solution can be written in terms of…
The aim of this note (as well as of the course itself) is to give a largely self-contained proof of two of the main results in the field of low-rank matrix recovery. This field aims for identification of low-rank matrices from only limited…
We introduce the first minimal and complete equational theory for quantum circuits. Hence, we show that any true equation on quantum circuits can be derived from simple rules, all of them being standard except a novel but intuitive one…

We derive the loop equations for the d-dimensional n-Hermitian matrix model. These are a consequence of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of the model. Moreover we show that in leading order of large $N$ the loop equations form a closed set. In…
Entropic forces result from an increase of the entropy of a thermodynamical physical system. It has been proposed that gravity is such a phenomenon and many articles have appeared on the literature concerning this problem. Loop quantum…
Random matrix theory (RMT) provides a common mathematical formulation of distinct physical questions in three different areas: quantum chaos, the 1-d integrable model with the $1/r^2$ interaction (the Calogero-Sutherland-Moser system), and…
Loop quantum gravity is a mature theory. To proceed to explicit calculations in cosmology, it is necessary to make assumptions and simplifications based on the symmetries of the cosmological setting. Symmetry reduction is especially…
Aspects of the full theory of loop quantum gravity can be studied in a simpler context by reducing to symmetric models like cosmological ones. This leads to several applications where loop effects play a significant role when one is…
For a given polynomial $V(x)\in \mathbb C[x]$, a random matrix eigenvalues measure is a measure $\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq N}(x_i-x_j)^2 \prod_{i=1}^N e^{-V(x_i)}dx_i$ on $\gamma^N$. Hermitian matrices have real eigenvalues $\gamma=\mathbb R$,…
We show that counting different configurations that give rise to black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity is related to partitions in number theory.
In program semantics and verification, reasoning about loops is complicated by the need to produce two separate mathematical arguments: an invariant, for functional properties (ignoring termination); and a variant, for termination (ignoring…
This paper is a brief review of recent developments in random matrix theory. Two aspects are emphasized: the underlying role of integrable systems and the occurrence of the distribution functions of random matrix theory in diverse areas of…
Quantum gravity, as a fundamental theory of space-time, is expected to reveal how the universe may have started, perhaps during or before an inflationary epoch. It may then leave a potentially observable (but probably minuscule) trace in…
Understanding the quantum aspects of gravity is not only a matter of equations and experiments. Gravity is intimately connected with the structure of space and time, and understanding quantum gravity requires us to find a conceptual…
