Many examples of natural systems can be described by random Gaussian surfaces. Much can be learned by analyzing the Fourier expansion of the surfaces, from which it is possible to determine the corresponding Hurst exponent and consequently establish the presence of scale invariance. We show that this symmetry is not affected by the distribution of the modulus of the Fourier coefficients. Furthermore, we investigate the role of the Fourier phases of random surfaces. In particular, we show how the surface is affected by a non-uniform distribution of phases.

Using the replica method, we develop an analytical approach to compute the characteristic function for the probability $mathcal{P}_N(K,lambda)$ that a large $N times N$ adjacency matrix of sparse random graphs has $K$ eigenvalues below a threshold $lambda$. The method allows to determine, in principle, all moments of $mathcal{P}_N(K,lambda)$, from which the typical sample to sample fluctuations can be fully characterized. For random graph models with localized eigenvectors, we show that the index variance scales linearly with $N gg 1$ for $|lambda| > 0$, with a model-dependent prefactor that can be exactly calculated. Explicit results are discussed for Erdos-Renyi and regular random graphs, both exhibiting a prefactor with a non-monotonic behavior as a function of $lambda$. These results contrast with rotationally invariant random matrices, where the index variance scales only as $ln N$, with an universal prefactor that is independent of $lambda$. Numerical diagonalization results confirm the exactness of our approach and, in addition, strongly support the Gaussian nature of the index fluctuations.
This review is devoted to the detailed consideration of the universal statistical properties of one-dimensional directed polymers in a random potential. In terms of the replica Bethe ansatz technique we derive several exact results for different types of the free energy probability distribution functions. In the second part of the review we discuss the problems which are still waiting for their solutions. Several mathematical appendices in the ending part of the review contain various technical details of the performed calculations.
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the finite temperature behavior of vortices in the XY- model for tangent vector order on curved backgrounds. Contrary to naive expectations, we show that the underlying geometry does not affect the proliferation of vortices with temperature respect to what is observed on a flat surface. Long-range order in these systems is analyzed by using the classical two-point correlation functions. As expected, in the case of slightly curved substrates these correlations behave similarly to the plane. However, for high curvatures, the presence of geometry-induced unbounded vortices at low temperatures produces the rapid decay of correlations and an apparent lack of long-range order. Our results shed light on the finite-temperature physics of soft-matter systems and anisotropic magnets deposited on curved substrates.
A well known connection between first-passage probability of random walk and distribution of electrical potential described by Laplace equation is studied. We simulate random walk in the plane numerically as a discrete time process with fixed step length. We measure first-passage probability to touch the absorbing sphere of radius $R$ in 2D. We found a regular deviation of the first-passage probability from the exact function, which we attribute to the finiteness of the random walk step.
Statistical mechanics of 1D multivalent Coulomb gas may be mapped onto non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. We use this example to develop instanton calculus on Riemann surfaces. Borrowing from the formalism developed in the context of Seiberg-Witten duality, we treat momentum and coordinate as complex variables. Constant energy manifolds are given by Riemann surfaces of genus $ggeq 1$. The actions along principal cycles on these surfaces obey ODE in the moduli space of the Riemann surface known as Picard-Fuchs equation. We derive and solve Picard-Fuchs equations for Coulomb gases of various charge content. Analysis of monodromies of these solutions around their singular points yields semiclassical spectra as well as instanton effects such as Bloch bandwidth. Both are shown to be in perfect agreement with numerical simulations.
