Markov chains are used to give a purely probabilistic way of understanding the conjugacy classes of the finite symplectic and orthogonal groups in odd characteristic. As a corollary of these methods one obtains a probabilistic proof of…
Random matrix theory is a well-developed area of probability theory that has numerous connections with other areas of mathematics and its applications. Much of the literature in this area is concerned with matrices that possess many exact…
Each graph and choice of a commutative ring gives rise to an associated graphical group. In this article, we introduce and investigate graph polynomials that enumerate conjugacy classes of graphical groups over finite fields according to…
In these lectures we discuss some elementary concepts in connection with the theory of symmetric spaces applied to ensembles of random matrices. We review how the relationship between random matrix theory and symmetric spaces can be used in…
Using generating functions, we enumerate regular semisimple conjugacy classes in the finite classical groups. For the general linear, unitary, and symplectic groups this gives a different approach to known results; for the special…
The ensemble inter-relations to be considered are special features of classical cases, where the joint eigenvalue probability density can be computed explicitly. Attention will be focussed too on the consequences of these inter-relations,…
Some tools and ideas are interchanged between random matrix theory and multivariate statistics. In the context of the random matrix theory, classes of spherical and generalised Wishart random matrix ensemble, containing as particular cases…
The asymptotic probability theory of conjugacy classes of the finite general linear and unitary groups leads to a probability measure on the set of all partitions of natural numbers. A simple method of understanding these measures in terms…
We give a generalization of the random matrix ensembles, including all lassical ensembles. Then we derive the joint density function of the generalized ensemble by one simple formula, which give a direct and unified way to compute the…
In this thesis manuscript we explore different facets of random tensor models. These models have been introduced to mimic the incredible successes of random matrix models in physics, mathematics and combinatorics. After giving a very short…
In this short review we introduce group field theory, a particular class of random tensor models, which represents nowadays one of the candidates for a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We insist on the combinatorial richness of…
This is a survey article written for a workshop on L-functions and random matrix theory at the Newton Institute in July, 2004. The goal is to give some insight into how well-distributed sets of matrices in classical groups arise from…
The asymptotic study of the conjugacy classes of a random element of the finite affine group leads one to define a probability measure on the set of all partitions of all positive integers. Four different probabilistic understandings of…
In this investigation of character tables of finite groups we study basic sets and associated representation theoretic data for complementary sets of conjugacy classes. For the symmetric groups we find unexpected properties of characters on…
We survey recent results on determinantal processes, random growth, random tilings and their relation to random matrix theory.
Random matrices now play a role in many parts of computational mathematics. To advance these applications, it is desirable to have tools that are flexible, easy to use, and powerful. Over the last 25 years, researchers have developed a…
We describe a random matrix approach that can provide generic and readily soluble mean-field descriptions of the phase diagram for a variety of systems ranging from QCD to high-T_c materials. Instead of working from specific models, phase…
We use the order complex corresponding to a symmetric matrix (defined by Giusti et al in 2015). In this note, we use it to define a class of models of random graphs, and show some surprising experimental results, showing sharp phase…
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…
We define recurrence matrices and study a few properties (links with automatic sequences, branch groups etc.) of them.
