This is a short review of the two papers on the $x$-space asymptotics of the critical two-point function $G_{p_c}(x)$ for the long-range models of self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model on $mathbb{Z}^d$, defined by the translation-invariant power-law step-distribution/coupling $D(x)propto|x|^{-d-alpha}$ for some $alpha>0$. Let $S_1(x)$ be the random-walk Green function generated by $D$. We have shown that $bullet~~S_1(x)$ changes its asymptotic behavior from Newton ($alpha>2$) to Riesz ($alpha<2$), with log correction at $alpha=2$; $bullet~~G_{p_c}(x)simfrac{A}{p_c}S_1(x)$ as $|x|toinfty$ in dimensions higher than (or equal to, if $alpha=2$) the upper critical dimension $d_c$ (with sufficiently large spread-out parameter $L$). The model-dependent $A$ and $d_c$ exhibit crossover at $alpha=2$. The keys to the proof are (i) detailed analysis on the underlying random walk to derive sharp asymptotics of $S_1$, (ii) bounds on convolutions of power functions (with log corrections, if $alpha=2$) to optimally control the lace-expansion coefficients $pi_p^{(n)}$, and (iii) probabilistic interpretation (valid only when $alphale2$) of the convolution of $D$ and a function $varPi_p$ of the alternating series $sum_{n=0}^infty(-1)^npi_p^{(n)}$. We outline the proof, emphasizing the above key elements for percolation in particular.

Consider the long-range models on $mathbb{Z}^d$ of random walk, self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model, whose translation-invariant 1-step distribution/coupling coefficient decays as $|x|^{-d-alpha}$ for some $alpha>0$. In the previous work (Ann. Probab., 43, 639--681, 2015), we have shown in a unified fashion for all $alpha e2$ that, assuming a bound on the derivative of the $n$-step distribution (the compound-zeta distribution satisfies this assumed bound), the critical two-point function $G_{p_c}(x)$ decays as $|x|^{alphawedge2-d}$ above the upper-critical dimension $d_cequiv(alphawedge2)m$, where $m=2$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model and $m=3$ for percolation. In this paper, we show in a much simpler way, without assuming a bound on the derivative of the $n$-step distribution, that $G_{p_c}(x)$ for the marginal case $alpha=2$ decays as $|x|^{2-d}/log|x|$ whenever $dge d_c$ (with a large spread-out parameter $L$). This solves the conjecture in the previous work, extended all the way down to $d=d_c$, and confirms a part of predictions in physics (Brezin, Parisi, Ricci-Tersenghi, J. Stat. Phys., 157, 855--868, 2014). The proof is based on the lace expansion and new convolution bounds on power functions with log corrections.
We consider the $n$-component $|varphi|^4$ lattice spin model ($n ge 1$) and the weakly self-avoiding walk ($n=0$) on $mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions $d=1,2,3$. We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin interactions or walk step probabilities decaying with distance $r$ as $r^{-(d+alpha)}$ with $alpha in (0,2)$. The upper critical dimension is $d_c=2alpha$. For $epsilon >0$, and $alpha = frac 12 (d+epsilon)$, the dimension $d=d_c-epsilon$ is below the upper critical dimension. For small $epsilon$, weak coupling, and all integers $n ge 0$, we prove that the two-point function at the critical point decays with distance as $r^{-(d-alpha)}$. This sticking of the critical exponent at its mean-field value was first predicted in the physics literature in 1972. Our proof is based on a rigorous renormalisation group method. The treatment of observables differs from that used in recent work on the nearest-neighbour 4-dimensional case, via our use of a cluster expansion.
We consider long-range self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model on $mathbb{Z}^d$ that are defined by power-law decaying pair potentials of the form $D(x)asymp|x|^{-d-alpha}$ with $alpha>0$. The upper-critical dimension $d_{mathrm{c}}$ is $2(alphawedge2)$ for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and $3(alphawedge2)$ for percolation. Let $alpha e2$ and assume certain heat-kernel bounds on the $n$-step distribution of the underlying random walk. We prove that, for $d>d_{mathrm{c}}$ (and the spread-out parameter sufficiently large), the critical two-point function $G_{p_{mathrm{c}}}(x)$ for each model is asymptotically $C|x|^{alphawedge2-d}$, where the constant $Cin(0,infty)$ is expressed in terms of the model-dependent lace-expansion coefficients and exhibits crossover between $alpha<2$ and $alpha>2$. We also provide a class of random walks that satisfy those heat-kernel bounds.
The celebrated elliptic law describes the distribution of eigenvalues of random matrices with correlations between off-diagonal pairs of elements, having applications to a wide range of physical and biological systems. Here, we investigate the generalization of this law to random matrices exhibiting higher-order cyclic correlations between $k$-tuples of matrix entries. We show that the eigenvalue spectrum in this ensemble is bounded by a hypotrochoid curve with $k$-fold rotational symmetry. This hypotrochoid law applies to full matrices as well as sparse ones, and thereby holds with remarkable universality. We further extend our analysis to matrices and graphs with competing cycle motifs, which are described more generally by polytrochoid spectral boundaries.
We consider the parabolic Anderson problem $partial_t u=kappaDelta u+xi u$ on $(0,infty)times Z^d$ with random i.i.d. potential $xi=(xi(z))_{zinZ^d}$ and the initial condition $u(0,cdot)equiv1$. Our main assumption is that $esssupxi(0)=0$. Depending on the thickness of the distribution $prob(xi(0)incdot)$ close to its essential supremum, we identify both the asymptotics of the moments of $u(t,0)$ and the almost-sure asymptotics of $u(t,0)$ as $ttoinfty$ in terms of variational problems. As a by-product, we establish Lifshitz tails for the random Schrodinger operator $-kappaDelta-xi$ at the bottom of its spectrum. In our class of $xi$ distributions, the Lifshitz exponent ranges from $d/2$ to $infty$; the power law is typically accompanied by lower-order corrections.
