Correlation functions involving products and ratios of half-integer powers of characteristic polynomials of random matrices from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) frequently arise in applications of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) to…
We recall the directed graph of _juggling states_, closed walks within which give juggling patterns, as studied by Ron Graham in [w/Chung, w/Butler]. Various random walks in this graph have been studied before by several authors, and their…
We apply a theorem of Wick to rewrite certain classes of exponential measures on random graphs as integrals of Feynman-Gibbs type, on the real line. The analytic properties of these measures can then be studied in terms of phase…
We study coupled random walks in the plane such that, at each step, the walks change direction by a uniform random angle plus an extra deterministic angle \theta. We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the \theta for which the walk has an…
This paper has two main results, which are connected through the fact that the first is a key ingredient in the second. Both are extensions of results concerning directional transience of nearest-neighbor random walks in random environments…
This contribution to the proceedings of the Cracow meeting on `Applications of Random Matrix Theory' summarizes a series of studies, some old and others more recent on financial applications of Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We first review…
The classical random matrix theory is mostly focused on asymptotic spectral properties of random matrices as their dimensions grow to infinity. At the same time many recent applications from convex geometry to functional analysis to…
We consider families of random non-unitary contraction operators defined as deformations of CMV matrices which appear naturally in the study of random quantum walks on trees or lattices. We establish several deterministic and almost sure…
Conditions are provided under which an endomorphism on quasisymmetric functions gives rise to a left random walk on the descent algebra which is also a lumping of a left random walk on permutations. Spectral results are also obtained.…
We introduce a family of coefficients based on U-statistics that generalize the notion of correlation and explore their properties in the large dimensional multivariate case, showing that in the null case of uncorrelated variables, the…
Random walks as well as diffusions in random media are considered. Methods are developed that allow one to establish large deviation results for both the `quenched' and the `averaged' case.
In many situations, the statistical properties of wave systems with chaotic classical limits are well-described by random matrix theory. However, applications of random matrix theory to scattering problems require introduction of system…
We introduce a family of two-dimensional reflected random walks in the positive quadrant and study their Martin boundary. While the minimal boundary is systematically equal to a union of two points, the full Martin boundary exhibits an…
Many regular graphs admit a natural partition of their edge set into cliques of the same order such that each vertex is contained in the same number of cliques. In this paper, we study the mixing rate of certain random walks on such graphs…
These expository notes are centered around the circular law theorem, which states that the empirical spectral distribution of a nxn random matrix with i.i.d. entries of variance 1/n tends to the uniform law on the unit disc of the complex…
We define a random walk problem which admits analytic results, on a class of infinite periodic lattices which are directed and colored. Our approach is motivated from the fact that such lattices arise in string theoretic constructs of…
Suppose $X_p$ is a real $p \times n$ matrix with independent entries and consider the (unscaled) sample covariance matrix $S_p=X_pX_p^T$. The Marchenko-Pastur law was discovered as the limit of the bulk distribution of the sample covariance…
A quantum walk is the quantum analogue of a random walk. While it is relatively well understood how quantum walks can speed up random walk hitting times, it is a long-standing open question to what extent quantum walks can speed up the…
We consider non-backtracking random walk (NBW) in the nearest-neighbor setting on the Zd-lattice and on tori. We evaluate the eigensystem of the m X m-dimensional transition matrix of NBW where m denote the degree of the graph. We use its…
Random walks on expanders play a crucial role in Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms, derandomization, graph theory, and distributed computing. A desirable property is that they are rapidly mixing, which is equivalent to having a spectral…
