In this paper, we show that some fundamental results for smooth mappings (e.g., the Brouwer degree formula, the implicit function and inverse function theorems, the mean value theorem, Sard's theorem, Hadamard's global invertibility…
In this note, we briefly introduce the background and motivation of the collaborative work [arXiv:2508.20797], and provide an outline of the main results. The latter relates to matrix and higher order scalar differential equations satisfied…
We consider random polynomials with independent identically distributed coefficients with a fixed law. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that such polynomials are irreducible and their Galois groups…
This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of random covariance matrices, both in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum. In a preceding paper, the author established analogous results for…
In 1966, H. Widom proved an asymptotic formula for the distribution of eigenvalues of the $N\times N$ truncated Hilbert matrix for large values of $N$. In this paper, we extend this formula to Hankel matrices with symbols in the class of…
Infinite determinantal measures introduced in this note are inductive limits of determinantal measures on an exhausting family of subsets of the phase space. Alternatively, an infinite determinantal measure can be described as a product of…
Pickrell has fully characterized the unitarily invariant probability measures on infinite Hermitian matrices, and an alternative proof of this classification has been found by Olshanski and Vershik. Borodin and Olshanski deduced from this…
We prove that a conjecture of Fomin, Fulton, Li, and Poon, associated to ordered pairs of partitions, holds for many infinite families of such pairs. We also show that the bounded height case can be reduced to checking that the conjecture…
J.J. Schaeffer proved that for $any$ induced matrix norm and $any$ invertible $T=T(n)$ the inequality \[\left|\det T\right|\left\Vert T^{-1}\right\Vert \leq\mathcal{S}\left\Vert T\right\Vert ^{n-1}\] holds with…
First, we provide an exposition of a theorem due to Slodkowski regarding the largest "eigenvalue" of a convex function. In his work on the Dirichlet problem, Slodkowski introduces a generalized second-order derivative which for $C^2$…
We show that the Szeg\H{o} matrices, associated with Verblunsky coefficients $\{\alpha_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+}$ obeying $\sum_{n = 0}^\infty n^\gamma |\alpha_n|^2 < \infty$ for some $\gamma \in (0,1)$, are bounded for values $z \in \partial…
We establish versions of Szeg\H{o}'s distance formula and Widom's theorem on invertibility of (a family of) Toeplitz operators in a class of finite codimension subalgebras of uniform algebras, obtained by imposing a finite number of linear…
We prove a conjecture of Shklyarov concerning the relationship between K. Saito's higher residue pairing and a certain pairing on the periodic cyclic homology of matrix factorization categories. Along the way, we give new proofs of a result…
A quasi-Toeplitz (QT) matrix is a semi-infinite matrix of the form $A=T(a)+E$ where $T(a)$ is the Toeplitz matrix with entries $(T(a))_{i,j}=a_{j-i}$, for $a_{j-i}\in\mathbb C$, $i,j\ge 1$, while $E$ is a matrix representing a compact…
Recently, Borodin and Okounkov established a remarkable identity for Toeplitz determinants. Two other proofs of this identity were subsequently found by Basor and Widom, who also extended the formula to the block case. We here give one more…
Motivated by [9] we study the existence of the inverse of infinite Hermitian moment matrices associated with measures with support on the complex plane. We relate this problem to the asymptotic behaviour of the smallest eigenvalues of…
We consider the correlation functions of eigenvalues of a unidimensional chain of large random hermitian matrices. An asymptotic expression of the orthogonal polynomials allows to find new results for the correlations of eigenvalues of…
We study multiplicative statistics for the eigenvalues of unitarily-invariant Hermitian random matrix models. We consider one-cut regular polynomial potentials and a large class of multiplicative statistics. We show that in the large matrix…
The classical ``$H=W$" theorem establishes the identity between two function spaces on an arbitrary nonempty open set in the Euclidean spaces: the space $W$ defined via weak derivatives, and the space $H$ defined as the closure of smooth…
Tracy and Widom have evaluated the cumulative distribution of the largest eigenvalue for the finite and scaled infinite GUE in terms of a PIV and PII transcendent respectively. We generalise these results to the evaluation of…
