We consider a sparse linear regression model Y=X\beta^{*}+W where X has a Gaussian entries, W is the noise vector with mean zero Gaussian entries, and \beta^{*} is a binary vector with support size (sparsity) k. Using a novel conditional…

Order statistics of periodic, Gaussian noise with 1/f^{\alpha} power spectrum is investigated. Using simulations and phenomenological arguments, we find three scaling regimes for the average gap d_k=<x_k-x_{k+1}> between the k-th and…

We study the problem of recovering the common $k$-sized support of a set of $n$ samples of dimension $d$, using $m$ noisy linear measurements per sample. Most prior work has focused on the case when $m$ exceeds $k$, in which case $n$ of the…

This paper concerns quasi-stochastic approximation (QSA) to solve root finding problems commonly found in applications to optimization and reinforcement learning. The general constant gain algorithm may be expressed as the…

We study the problem of estimating $\beta \in \mathbb{R}^p$ from its noisy linear observations $y= X\beta+ w$, where $w \sim N(0, \sigma_w^2 I_{n\times n})$, under the following high-dimensional asymptotic regime: given a fixed number…

We investigate the asymptotic behavior as $\varepsilon \to 0$ of singularly perturbed phase transition models of order $n \geq 2$, given by \begin{align} G_\varepsilon^{\lambda,n}[u] := \int_I \frac 1\varepsilon W(u)…

It is well known that an $n \times n$ Wishart matrix with $d$ degrees of freedom is close to the appropriately centered and scaled Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) if $d$ is large enough. Recent work of Bubeck, Ding, Eldan, and Racz, and…

We derive bounds on the path length $\zeta$ of gradient descent (GD) and gradient flow (GF) curves for various classes of smooth convex and nonconvex functions. Among other results, we prove that: (a) if the iterates are linearly convergent…

We study the phase transition phenomenon inherent in the shuffled (permuted) regression problem, which has found numerous applications in databases, privacy, data analysis, etc. In this study, we aim to precisely identify the locations of…

When the unknown regression function of a single variable is known to have derivatives up to the $(\gamma+1)$th order bounded in absolute values by a common constant everywhere or a.e. (i.e., $(\gamma+1)$th degree of smoothness), the…

The Widom-Rowlinson model (or the Area-interaction model) is a Gibbs point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the formal Hamiltonian $H(\omega)=\text{Volume}(\cup_{x\in\omega} B_1(x))$, where $\omega$ is a locally finite configuration of points…

We develop techniques to study the phase transition for planar Gaussian percolation models that are not (necessarily) positively correlated. These models lack the property of positive associations (also known as the `FKG inequality'), and…

We prove that the connectivity of the level sets of a wide class of smooth centred planar Gaussian fields exhibits a phase transition at the zero level that is analogous to the phase transition in Bernoulli percolation. In addition to…

We study generic $d$-dimensional rigidity in sparse random graphs. Our main result is that for every $d\ge 2$, the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph $G\sim G(n,c/n)$ undergoes a $d$-rigidity phase transition at the known, explicit,…

We study the phase diagram of the 4d compact U(1) gauge theory as a function of the number of Euclidean time slices. We use the helicity modulus as order parameter to probe the phase transitions. The order of the transition along the phase…

We consider large N Yang Mills theory with D adjoint scalar fields in d dimensions for d=0 or 1. We show the existence of a non-trivial saddle point of the functional integral at large D which is characterized by a mass gap for the adjoint…

The problem of phase synchronization is to estimate the phases (angles) of a complex unit-modulus vector $z$ from their noisy pairwise relative measurements $C = zz^* + \sigma W$, where $W$ is a complex-valued Gaussian random matrix. The…

We consider the limiting behavior of the count of subgraphs isomorphic to a graph $G$ with $m\geq 0$ fixed endpoints (or roots) in the random-connection model, as the intensity $\lambda$ of the underlying Poisson point process tends to…

We study phase transitions for repulsive-attractive mean-field free energies on the circle. For a $\frac{1}{n+1}$-periodic interaction whose Fourier coefficients satisfy a certain decay condition, we prove that the critical coupling…

The K_4-free process starts with the empty graph on n vertices and at each step adds a new edge chosen uniformly at random from all remaining edges that do not complete a copy of K_4. Let G be the random maximal K_4-free graph obtained at…
