We introduce diffusions on a space of interval partitions of the unit interval that are stationary with the Poisson-Dirichlet laws with parameters $(\alpha,0)$ and $(\alpha,\alpha)$. The construction has two steps. The first is a general…
Determinantal point processes (DPPs) are an important concept in random matrix theory and combinatorics. They have also recently attracted interest in the study of numerical methods for machine learning, as they offer an elegant "missing…
Statistical inference on the mean of a Poisson distribution is a fundamentally important problem with modern applications in, e.g., particle physics. The discreteness of the Poisson distribution makes this problem surprisingly challenging,…
Point processes are an essential tool when we are interested in where in time or space events occur. The basic starting point for point processes is usually the Poisson process. Over the years, Stein's method has been developed with a great…
We study the limiting behavior of smooth linear statistics of the spectrum of random permutation matrices in the mesoscopic regime, when the permutation follows one of the Ewens measures on the symmetric group. If we apply a smooth enough…

Under a complex technical condition, similar to such used in extreme value theory, we find the rate q(\epsilon)^{-1} at which a stochastic process with stationary increments \xi should be sampled, for the sampled process \xi(\lfloor\cdot…
We study the asymptotic edge statistics of the Gaussian $\beta$-ensemble, a collection of $n$ particles, as the inverse temperature $\beta$ tends to zero as $n$ tends to infinity. In a certain decay regime of $\beta$, the associated extreme…
We investigate the statistics of recurrences to finite size intervals for chaotic dynamical systems. We find that the typical distribution presents an exponential decay for almost all recurrence times except for a few short times affected…
In this article, we consider $\beta$-ensembles, i.e. collections of particles with random positions on the real line having joint distribution $$\frac{1}{Z_N(\beta)}|\Delta(\lambda)|^\beta e^{- \frac{N\beta}{4}\sum_{i=1}^N\lambda_i^2}d…
We consider the symmetric simple exclusion system on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 2$, starting from a class of ``step'' initial conditions in which particles are constrained within a half-space. One may count the number $N_t$ of particles that…
Let $\mathbf{X}=\{X_{n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of stationary Gaussian variables and suppose that only some of the random variables from $\mathbf{X}$ can be observed. In this paper, by studying the limiting properties of multidimensional…
Determinantal point processes are models for regular spatial point patterns, with appealing probabilistic properties. We present their spatio-temporal counterparts and give examples of these models, based on spatio-temporal covariance…
The object of study is a soft random geometric graph with vertices given by a Poisson point process on a line and edges between vertices present with probability that has a polynomial decay in the distance between them. Various aspects of…
If you take a superposition of n IID copies of a point process and thin that by a factor of 1/n, then the resulting process tends to a Poisson point process as n tends to infinity. We give a simple proof of this result that highlights its…
