We survey a number of models from physics, statistical mechanics, probability theory and combinatorics, which are each described in terms of an orthogonal polynomial ensemble. The most prominent example is apparently the Hermite ensemble,…
In the current paper we consider a Wigner matrix and consider an analytic function of polynomial growth on a set containing the support of the semicircular law in its interior. We prove that the linear spectral statistics corresponding to…
We express the gap probabilities of the tacnode process as the ratio of two Fredholm determinants; the denominator is the standard Tracy-Widom distribution, while the numerator is the Fredholm determinant of a very explicit kernel…
We present a solution to a problem suggested by Philippe Biane: We prove that a certain Plancherel-type probability distribution on partitions converges, as partitions get large, to a new determinantal random point process on the set…
We introduce a growth process which samples sections of uniform infinite causal triangulations by elementary moves in which a single triangle is added. A relation to a random walk on the integer half line is shown. This relation is used to…
We consider supercritical long-range percolation on transitive graphs of polynomial growth. In this model, any two vertices $x$ and $y$ of the underlying graph $G$ connect by a direct edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta J(x,y))$, where…
We consider a limit theorem for a triangular array of point processes generated by non-identically distributed random variables, and apply the result for the analysis of the limiting behavior of the Argmaximum of independent random…
We consider Bernoulli bond percolation on a large scale-free tree in the supercritical regime, meaning informally that there exists a giant cluster with high probability. We obtain a weak limit theorem for the sizes of the next largest…
We discuss the space-time determinantal random field which arises for the PNG model in one dimension and resembles the one for Dyson's Brownian motion. The information of interest for growth processes is carried by the edge statistics of…
Interface dynamics in two-dimensional systems with a maximal number of conservation laws gives an accurate theoretical model for many physical processes, from the hydrodynamics of immiscible, viscous flows (zero surface-tension limit of…
We introduce a generalization of the extended Airy kernel with two sets of real parameters. We show that this kernel arises in the edge scaling limit of correlation kernels of determinantal processes related to a directed percolation model…
Recently, it was shown that the probability distribution function (PDF) of the free energy of a single continuum directed polymer (DP) in a random potential, equivalently of the height of a growing interface described by the…
Noncolliding Brownian motion (Dyson's Brownian motion model with parameter $\beta=2$) and noncolliding Bessel processes are determinantal processes; that is, their space-time correlation functions are represented by determinants. Under a…
We develop a scaling theory for KPZ growth in one dimension by a detailed study of the polynuclear growth (PNG) model. In particular, we identify three universal distributions for shape fluctuations and their dependence on the macroscopic…
This article studies the inhomogeneous geometric polynuclear growth model, the distribution of which is related to Schur functions. We explain a method to derive its distribution functions in both space-like and time-like directions,…
We consider directed random graphs, the prototype of which being the Barak-Erd\H{o}s graph $\vec G(\mathbb Z, p)$, and study the way that long (or heavy, if weights are present) paths grow. This is done by relating the graphs to certain…
The Airy point process is a determinantal point process that arises from the spectral edge of the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. In this paper, we establish a large deviation principle for the Airy point process. Our result also extends to…
The newly developed "void expansion method" allows for an efficient generation of porous packings of spherical particles over a wide range of volume fractions using the discrete element method. Particles are randomly placed under addition…
In random tiling and dimer models we can get various limit shapes which gives the boundaries between different types of phases. The shape fluctuations at these boundaries give rise to universal limit laws, in particular the Airy process. We…
A multi-type branching process is defined as a random tree with labeled vertices, where each vertex produces offspring independently according to the same multivariate probability distribution. We demonstrate that in realizations of the…
