We show that the existence of $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices having largest possible determinant is equivalent to the existence of certain tournament matrices. In particular, we prove a recent conjecture of Armario. We also show that large…
Given an arbitrary complex-valued infinite matrix A and a positive integer n we introduce a naturally associated polynomial basis B_A of C[x0...xn]. We discuss some properties of the locus of common zeros of all polynomials in B_A having a…
We prove that any finite collection of quadratic forms (overlaps) of general deterministic matrices and eigenvectors of an $N\times N$ Wigner matrix has joint Gaussian fluctuations. This can be viewed as the random matrix analogue of the…
The probability that an interval $I$ is free of eigenvalues in a matrix ensemble with unitary symmetry is given by a Fredholm determinant. When the weight function in the matrix ensemble is a classical weight function, and the interval $I$…
Many papers have studied inequalities for partition functions. Recently, a number of papers have considered mixtures between additive and multiplicative behavior in such inequalities. In particular, Chern-Fu-Tang and Heim-Neuhauser gave…
We present several generalizations of Cauchy's determinant and Schur's Pfaffian by considering matrices whose entries involve some generalized Vandermonde determinants. Special cases of our formulae include previuos formulae due to S.Okada…
We derive exact analytic expressions for the distributions of eigenvalues and singular values for the product of an arbitrary number of independent rectangular Gaussian random matrices in the limit of large matrix dimensions. We show that…
This paper presents new probability inequalities for sums of independent, random, self-adjoint matrices. These results place simple and easily verifiable hypotheses on the summands, and they deliver strong conclusions about the…
Using previous work by Merca, we show the partition function involving parts of k different magnitudes, shifted by the triangular numbers, equals the self convolution of the unrestricted partition function. We also provide a combinatorial…
We give a geometric proof of a conjecture of W. Fulton on the multiplicities of irreducible representations in a tensor product of irreducible representations for GL(r).
We compute all massive partition functions or characteristic polynomials and their complex eigenvalue correlation functions for non-Hermitean extensions of the symplectic and chiral symplectic ensemble of random matrices. Our results are…
The plethysm product of Schur functions corresponds to composing polynomial representations of infinite general linear groups. Finding the plethysm coefficients $\langle s_\nu \circ s_\mu, s_\lambda\rangle$ that express an arbitrary…
Barry Simon conjectured in 2005 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…
The celebrated P\'{o}lya's conjecture (1954) in spectral geometry states that the eigenvalue counting functions of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacian on a bounded Euclidean domain can be estimated from above and below, respectively, by the…
We study the concept of (generalized) $p$-th variation of a real-valued continuous function along a general class of refining sequence of partitions. We show that the finiteness of the $p$-th variation of a given function is closely related…
Recently, Debruyne and Tenenbaum proved asymptotic formulas for the number of partitions with parts in $\mathcal{L}\subset\mathbb{N}$ ($\gcd(\mathcal{L})=1$) and good analytic properties of the corresponding zeta function, generalizing work…
We give upper and lower bounds on the largest singular value of a matrix using analogues to walks in graphs. For nonnegative matrices these bounds are asymptotically tight. In particular, we improve a bound due to I. Schur.
We show that the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of any generalized Wigner matrix $H$ converge to the Tracy-Widom laws at a rate nearly $O(N^{-1/3})$, as the matrix dimension $N$ tends to infinity. We allow the variances of the…
We consider partitions $p_{w}(n)$ of a positive integer $n$ arising from the generating functions \[ \sum_{n=1}^\infty p_{w}(n) z^n = \prod_{m \in \mathbb{N}} (1-z^m)^{-w(m)}, \] where the weights $w(m)$ are M\"{o}bius convolutions. We…
The Riemann Hypothesis can be reformulated as statements about the eigenvalues of certain matrices whose entries are defined in terms of the Taylor coefficients of the zeta function. These eigenvalues exhibit interesting visual patterns…
