Random Tensor Theory: Extending Random Matrix Theory to Mixtures of Random Product States

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS

A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Introduction to Random-Matrix Theory

Random-matrix theory gained attention during the 1950s due to work by Eugene Wigner in mathematical physics. Specifically, Wigner wished to describe the general properties of the energy levels (or of their spacings) of highly excited states of heavy nuclei as measured in nuclear reactions (Wigner, 1957). Such a complex nuclear system is represented by an Hermitian operator H (called the Hamilto...

Random matrix theory

Random matrix theory is now a big subject with applications in many disciplines of science, engineering and finance. This article is a survey specifically oriented towards the needs and interests of a numerical analyst. This survey includes some original material not found anywhere else. We include the important mathematics which is a very modern development, as well as the computational softwa...

Random Matrix Theory

Random matrix theory is usually taught as a sequence of several graduate courses; we have 16 lectures, so we will give a very brief introduction. Some relevant books for the course: • G. Anderson, A. Guionnet, O. Zeitouni. An introduction to random matrices. [1] • A. Guionnet. Large random matrices: lectures on macroscopic asymptotics. • M. L. Mehta. Random matrices. The study of random matrice...
