In this note we study a natural measure on plane partitions giving rise to a certain discrete-time Muttalib-Borodin process (MBP): each time-slice is a discrete version of a Muttalib-Borodin ensemble (MBE). The process is determinantal with explicit time-dependent correlation kernel. Moreover, in the $q to 1$ limit, it converges to a continuous Jacobi-like MBP with Muttalib-Borodin marginals supported on the unit interval. This continuous process is also determinantal with explicit correlation kernel. We study its hard-edge scaling limit (around 0) to obtain a discrete-time-dependent generalization of the classical continuous Bessel kernel of random matrix theory (and, in fact, of the Meijer $G$-kernel as well). We lastly discuss two related applications: random sampling from such processes, and their interpretations as models of directed last passage percolation (LPP). In doing so, we introduce a corner growth model naturally associated to Jacobi processes, a version of which is the usual corner growth of Forrester-Rains in logarithmic coordinates. The aforementioned hard edge limits for our MBPs lead to interesting asymptotics for these LPP models. In particular, a special cases of our LPP asymptotics give rise (via the random matrix Bessel kernel and following Johanssons lead) to an extremal statistics distribution interpolating between the Tracy-Widom GUE and the Gumbel distributions.
We study probabilistic and combinatorial aspects of natural volume-and-trace weighted plane partitions and their continuous analogues. We prove asymptotic limit laws for the largest parts of these ensembles in terms of new and known hard- and soft-edge distributions of random matrix theory. As a corollary we obtain an asymptotic transition between Gumbel and Tracy--Widom GUE fluctuations for the largest part of such plane partitions, with the continuous Bessel kernel providing the interpolation. We interpret our results in terms of two natural models of directed last passage percolation (LPP): a discrete $(max, +)$ infinite-geometry model with rapidly decaying geometric weights, and a continuous $(min, cdot)$ model with power weights.
We show that the symplectic and orthogonal character analogues of Okounkovs Schur measure (on integer partitions) are determinantal, with explicit correlation kernels. We apply this to prove certain Borodin-Okounkov-Gessel-type results concerning Toeplitz+Hankel and Fredholm determinants; a SzegH{o}-type limit theorem; an edge Baik-Deift-Johansson-type asymptotical result for certain symplectic and orthogonal analogues of the poissonized Plancherel measure; and a similar result for actual poissonized Plancherel measures supported on almost symmetric partitions.
Consider the normalized adjacency matrices of random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices with fixed degree $dgeq3$. We prove that, with probability $1-N^{-1+{varepsilon}}$ for any ${varepsilon} >0$, the following two properties hold as $N to infty$ provided that $dgeq3$: (i) The eigenvalues are close to the classical eigenvalue locations given by the Kesten-McKay distribution. In particular, the extremal eigenvalues are concentrated with polynomial error bound in $N$, i.e. $lambda_2, |lambda_N|leq 2+N^{-c}$. (ii) All eigenvectors of random $d$-regular graphs are completely delocalized.
We consider Gibbs distributions on permutations of a locally finite infinite set $Xsubsetmathbb{R}$, where a permutation $sigma$ of $X$ is assigned (formal) energy $sum_{xin X}V(sigma(x)-x)$. This is motivated by Feynmans path representation of the quantum Bose gas; the choice $X:=mathbb{Z}$ and $V(x):=alpha x^2$ is of principal interest. Under suitable regularity conditions on the set $X$ and the potential $V$, we establish existence and a full classification of the infinite-volume Gibbs measures for this problem, including a result on the number of infinite cycles of typical permutations. Unlike earlier results, our conclusions are not limited to small densities and/or high temperatures.
We consider two-dimensional marked point processes which are Gibbsian with a two-body-potential U. U is supposed to have an internal continuous symmetry. We show that under suitable continuity conditions the considered processes are invariant under the given symmetry. We will achieve this by using Ruelle`s superstability estimates and percolation arguments.
