For a sufficiently nice 2 dimensional shape, we define its approximating matrix (or patterned matrix) as a random matrix with iid entries arranged according to a given pattern. For large approximating matrices, we observe that the…
In this article, we develop a theory for understanding the traces left by a random walk in the vicinity of a randomly chosen reference vertex. The analysis is related to interlacements but goes beyond previous research by showing weak limit…

This paper is a continuation of our paper "Fluctuations of Matrix Elements of Regular Functions of Gaussian Random Matrices", J. Stat. Phys. (134), 147--159 (2009), in which we proved the Central Limit Theorem for the matrix elements of…
This paper studies the asymptotic spectral properties of the sample covariance matrix for high dimensional compositional data, including the limiting spectral distribution, the limit of extreme eigenvalues, and the central limit theorem for…
Random walk on the set of irreducible representations of a finite group is investigated. For the symmetric and general linear groups, a sharp convergence rate bound is obtained and a cutoff phenomenon is proved. As related results, an…
The spectral theory of the Laplace differential operator for biregular quantum graphs is developed. Trees are studied in detail. Generating functions for closed non backtracking walks appear when resolvents for trees are related to…
We extend the random characteristics approach to Wigner matrices whose entries are not required to have a normal distribution. As an application, we give a simple and fully dynamical proof of the weak local semicircle law in the bulk.
D. Wilson~\cite{[Wi]} in the 1990's described a simple and efficient algorithm based on loop-erased random walks to sample uniform spanning trees and more generally weighted trees or forests spanning a given graph. This algorithm provides a…
We consider the range of random walks up to time n, R_n, on graphs satisfying a uniform condition. This condition is characterized by potential theory. Not only all vertex transitive graphs but also many non-regular graphs satisfy the…
Parameter-dependent statistical properties of spectra of totally connected irregular quantum graphs with Neumann boundary conditions are studied. The autocorrelation functions of level velocities c(x) and c(w,x) as well as the distributions…
We give a simple non-analytic proof of Biggins' theorem on martingale convergence for branching random walks.
We prove that the spectral radius of an i.i.d.\ random walk on $\GL_d(\C)$ satisfies a strong law of large numbers under finite second moment assumption and a weak law of large numbers under finite first moment. No irreducibility assumption…
For random matrix ensembles with non-gaussian matrix elements that may exhibit some correlations, it is shown that centered traces of polynomials in the matrix converge in distribution to a Gaussian process whose covariance matrix is…
We establish and generalise several bounds for various random walk quantities including the mixing time and the maximum hitting time. Unlike previous analyses, our derivations are based on rather intuitive notions of local expansion…
We consider a random object that is associated with both random walks and random media, specifically, the superposition of a configuration of subcritical Bernoulli percolation on an infinite connected graph and the trace of the simple…
In this paper we establish a version of the Margulis Roblin equidistribution theorem's for harmonic measures. As a consequence a von Neumann type theorem is obtained for boundary actions and the irreducibility of the associated…
A zero-one law of Engelbert--Schmidt type is proven for the norm process of a transient random walk. An invariance principle for random walk local times and a limit version of Jeulin's lemma play key roles.
Random walks are ubiquitous in the sciences, and they are interesting from both theoretical and practical perspectives. They are one of the most fundamental types of stochastic processes; can be used to model numerous phenomena, including…
