We investigate the multicritical scaling limit of the shifted Schur measures. Under an appropriate scaling limit and specific conditions on the continuous parameters, we explicitly determine the limit shape of strict partitions distributed…

The shifted Schur measure introduced by Tracy and Widom is a measure on the set of all strict partitions, which is defined by Schur $Q$-functions. The main aim of this paper is to calculate the correlation function of this measure, which is…

Periodic Schur process is a generalization of the Schur process introduced in math.CO/0107056. We compute its correlation functions and their bulk scaling limits, and discuss several applications including asymptotic analysis of uniform…

Plane partitions have been widely studied in Mathematics since MacMahon. See, for example, the works by Andrews, Macdonald, Stanley, Sagan and Krattenthaler. The Schur process approach, introduced by Okounkov and Reshetikhin, and further…

To each partition $\lambda$ with distinct parts we assign the probability $Q_\lambda(x) P_\lambda(y)/Z$ where $Q_\lambda$ and $P_\lambda$ are the Schur $Q$-functions and $Z$ is a normalization constant. This measure, which we call the…

We define a measure on tuples of partitions, called the symplectic Schur process, that should be regarded as the right analogue of the Schur process of Okounkov-Reshetikhin for the Cartan type C. The weights of our measure include factors…

For any complex number $\alpha$ and any even-size skew-symmetric matrix $B$, we define a generalization $\pfa{\alpha}(B)$ of the pfaffian $\pf(B)$ which we call the $\alpha$-pfaffian. The $\alpha$-pfaffian is a pfaffian analogue of the…

Inspired by Okounkov's work [\emph{Selecta Mathematica}, 7(1):57--81, 2001] which relates KP hierarchy to determinant point process, we establish a relationship between BKP hierarchy and Pfaffian point process. We prove that the correlation…

We study the $t$-Schur measure on partitions, defined by $ \mathbb{P}(\lambda)=Z^{-1}S_\lambda(x;t)s_\lambda(y) $, where $S_\lambda(x;t)$ denotes the $t$-Schur symmetric functions and $s_\lambda(y)$ the ordinary Schur functions, and $Z$ is…

Using techniques from integrable systems, we obtain a number of exact results for random partitions. In particular, we prove a simple formula for correlation functions of what we call the Schur measure on partitions (which is a far reaching…

We consider a generalization of the Schur process in which a partition evolves from the empty partition into an arbitrary fixed final partition. We obtain a double integral representation of the correlation kernel. For a special final…

The aim of this note is to prove a law of large numbers for local patterns in discrete point processes. We investigate two different situations: a class of point processes on the one dimensional lattice including certain Schur measures, and…

We revisit a double-scaled limit of the superconformal index of ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) which generalizes the Schur index. The resulting partition function, $\hat {\cal Z}(q,\alpha)$, has a standard $q$-expansion…

We consider a random process with discrete time formed by singular values of products of truncations of Haar distributed unitary matrices. We show that this process can be understood as a scaling limit of the Schur process, which gives…

We introduce multicritical Schur measures, which are probability laws on integer partitions which give rise to non-generic fluctuations at their edge. They are in the same universality classes as one-dimensional momentum-space models of…

We consider Brownian motions with one-sided collisions, meaning that each particle is reflected at its right neighbour. For a finite number of particles a Sch\"{u}tz-type formula is derived for the transition probability. We investigate an…

Schur process is a time-dependent analog of the Schur measure on partitions studied in math.RT/9907127. Our first result is that the correlation functions of the Schur process are determinants with a kernel that has a nice contour integral…

We introduce discrete time Markov chains that preserve uniform measures on boxed plane partitions. Elementary Markov steps change the size of the box from (a x b x c) to ((a-1) x (b+1) x c) or ((a+1) x (b-1) x c). Algorithmic realization of…

We investigate properties of non-translation-invariant measures, describing particle systems on $\bbz$, which are asymptotic to different translation invariant measures on the left and on the right. Often the structure of the transition…

This paper uncovers and exploits a link between a central object in harmonic analysis, the so-called Schur functions, and the very hot topic of symmetry protected topological phases of quantum matter. This connection is found in the setting…
