For every two points $z_0,z_1$ in the upper half-plane, consider all elements $\gamma$ in the principal congruence group $\Gamma(N)$, acting on the upper half-plane by fractional linear transformations, such that the hyperbolic distance…

Short geodesics are important in the study of the geometry and the spectra of Riemann surfaces. Bers' theorem gives a global bound on the length of the first $3g-3$ geodesics. We use the construction of Brooks and Makover of random Riemann…

The main goal of this article is to understand how the length spectrum of a random surface depends on its genus. Here a random surface means a surface obtained by randomly gluing together an even number of triangles carrying a fixed metric.…

We investigate first-passage percolation on the lattice $\Z^d$ for dimensions $d \geq 2$. Each edge $e$ of the graph is assigned an independent copy of a non-negative random variable $\tau$. We only assume $\P[\tau=0]0$ is explicit) for the…

We derive expressions for the probability distribution of the ratio of two consecutive level spacings for the classical ensembles of random matrices. This ratio distribution was recently introduced to study spectral properties of many-body…

The scattering data of a Riemannian manifold with boundary record the incoming and outgoing directions of each geodesic passing through. We show that the scattering data of a generic Riemannian surface with no trapped geodesics and no…

The authors consider the length, $l_N$, of the length of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation of $N$ numbers. The main result in this paper is a proof that the distribution function for $l_N$, suitably centered and…

If a line cuts randomly two sides of a triangle, the length of the segment determined by the points of intersection is also random. The object of this study, applied to a particular case, is to calculate the probability that the length of…

In first-passage percolation, one places nonnegative i.i.d. random variables (T(e)) on the edges of Z^d. A geodesic is an optimal path for the passage times T(e). Consider a local property of the time environment. We call it a pattern. We…

We study the distribution of the height of the intersection between the projective line defined by the linear polynomial $x_{0}+x_{1}+x_{2}$ and its translate by a torsion point. We show that for a strict sequence of torsion points, the…

This paper is concerned with the study of a circular random distribution called geodesic Normal distribution recently proposed for general manifolds. This distribution, parameterized by two real numbers associated to some specific location…

A key task in the study of networked systems is to derive local and global properties that impact connectivity, synchronizability, and robustness; computing shortest paths or geodesics yields measures of network connectivity that can…

We show that the length function of a measured geodesic lamination is convex in Thurston's shear coordinates over Teichm\"uller space and strictly convex for generic laminations. We give some consequences of this result in the context of…

We continue the study of infinite geodesics in planar first-passage percolation, pioneered by Newman in the mid 1990s. Building on more recent work of Hoffman, and Damron and Hanson, we develop an ergodic theory for infinite geodesics via…

We investigate the distribution of the logarithmic derivative of the Riemann zeta-function on the line Re(s)=\sigma, where \sigma, lies in a certain range near the critical line \sigma=1/2. For such \sigma, we show that the distribution of…

Oriented loops on an orientable surface are, up to equivalence by free homotopy, in one-to-one correspondence with the conjugacy classes of the surface's fundamental group. These conjugacy classes can be expressed (not uniquely in the case…

In this paper we compare the different phenomena that occur when intersecting geometric objects with random geodesics on the unit sphere and inside convex bodies. On the high dimensional sphere we see that with probability bounded away from…

In this work we develop a Monte Carlo method to compute the height distribution of local maxima of a stationary Gaussian or Gaussian-related random field that is observed on a regular lattice. We show that our method can be used to provide…

We consider the geodesic of the directed last passage percolation with iid exponential weights. We find the explicit one-point distribution of the geodesic location joint with the last passage times, and its limit as the parameters go to…
