We study first order fluctuations of a relativistic membrane in the curved background of a black hole. The zeroth-order solution corresponds to a spherical membrane tightly covering the event horizon. We obtain a massive Klein-Gordon…
We study random skew 3D partitions weighted by $q^{\textup{vol}}$ and, specifically, the $q\to 1$ asymptotics of local correlations near various points of the limit shape. We obtain sine-kernel asymptotics for correlations in the bulk of…
We study Bernoulli bond percolation on a random recursive tree of size $n$ with percolation parameter $p(n)$ converging to $1$ as $n$ tends to infinity. The sizes of the percolation clusters are naturally stored in a tree. We prove…

This paper is concerned about random walks on random environments in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. This model is analyzed through ergodicity in the form of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. We assume that the environments are random…
We consider polynomial Bergman kernels with respect to exponentially varying weights $e^{-n \mathscr Q(z)}$ depending on a potential $\mathscr Q:\mathbb C^d\to\mathbb R$. We use these kernels to construct determinantal point processes on…
We investigate the possibility of statistical explanation of the black hole entropy by counting quasi-bounded modes of thermal fluctuation in two dimensional black hole spacetime. The black hole concerned is quantum in the sense that it is…
