Probability Seminar Speaker: Giorgio Cipolloni (Princeton) Title: How do the eigenvalues of a large non-Hermitian random matrix behave? Abstract: We prove that the fluctuations of the eigenvalues converge to the Gaussian Free Field (GFF) on the unit disk. These fluctuations appear on a non-natural scale, due to strong correlations between the eigenvalues. Then, motivated by the […]
Probability Seminar *Please note room change: Science Center 232* Speaker: Ron Peled (Tel Aviv University) Title: Localization for random band matrices Abstract: I will explain an approach via "an adaptive Mermin-Wagner style shift" which proves localization of N x N Gaussian random band matrices with band width W satisfying W << N^{1/4}. Joint work with Giorgio Cipolloni, Jeffrey […]

Andrew Strominger will give the Third Annual Yip Lecture on February 2, 2023. Time: 7:00-8:00 pm ET Location: Harvard Science Center Hall A Title: Black Holes: The Most Mysterious Objects in the Universe Abstract: In the last decade black holes have come to center stage in both theoretical and observational science. Theoretically, they were […]
Probability Seminar Note location change: Science Center Room 300H Speaker: Lior Alon (MIT) Title: Fourier quasicrystals and stable polynomials Abstract: The Poisson summation formula says that the countable sum of exp(int), over all integers n, vanishes as long as t is not an integer multiple of 2 pi. Can we find a non-periodic discrete set A, such […]
Probability Seminar Location: Room 109, Harvard Science Center, 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA 02138 Speaker: Dan Mikulincer (MIT) Title: Lipschitz properties of transport maps under a log-Lipschitz condition Abstract: Consider the problem of realizing a target probability measure as a push forward, by a transport map, of a given source measure. Typically one thinks about […]
