    Increasing subsequences and the hard-to-soft edge transition in matrix ensembles

    Get PDF
    Our interest is in the cumulative probabilities Pr(L(t) \le l) for the maximum length of increasing subsequences in Poissonized ensembles of random permutations, random fixed point free involutions and reversed random fixed point free involutions. It is shown that these probabilities are equal to the hard edge gap probability for matrix ensembles with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic symmetry respectively. The gap probabilities can be written as a sum over correlations for certain determinantal point processes. From these expressions a proof can be given that the limiting form of Pr(L(t) \le l) in the three cases is equal to the soft edge gap probability for matrix ensembles with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic symmetry respectively, thereby reclaiming theorems due to Baik-Deift-Johansson and Baik-Rains.Comment: LaTeX, 19 page

    Random walks and random fixed-point free involutions

    Full text link
    A bijection is given between fixed point free involutions of {1,2,...,2N}\{1,2,...,2N\} with maximum decreasing subsequence size 2p2p and two classes of vicious (non-intersecting) random walker configurations confined to the half line lattice points l1l \ge 1. In one class of walker configurations the maximum displacement of the right most walker is pp. Because the scaled distribution of the maximum decreasing subsequence size is known to be in the soft edge GOE (random real symmetric matrices) universality class, the same holds true for the scaled distribution of the maximum displacement of the right most walker.Comment: 10 page

    Joint distribution of the first and second eigenvalues at the soft edge of unitary ensembles

    Full text link
    The density function for the joint distribution of the first and second eigenvalues at the soft edge of unitary ensembles is found in terms of a Painlev\'e II transcendent and its associated isomonodromic system. As a corollary, the density function for the spacing between these two eigenvalues is similarly characterized.The particular solution of Painlev\'e II that arises is a double shifted B\"acklund transformation of the Hasting-McLeod solution, which applies in the case of the distribution of the largest eigenvalue at the soft edge. Our deductions are made by employing the hard-to-soft edge transitions to existing results for the joint distribution of the first and second eigenvalue at the hard edge \cite{FW_2007}. In addition recursions under aa+1a \mapsto a+1 of quantities specifying the latter are obtained. A Fredholm determinant type characterisation is used to provide accurate numerics for the distribution of the spacing between the two largest eigenvalues.Comment: 26 pages, 1 Figure, 2 Table

    Finite N Fluctuation Formulas for Random Matrices

    Full text link
    For the Gaussian and Laguerre random matrix ensembles, the probability density function (p.d.f.) for the linear statistic j=1N(xj)\sum_{j=1}^N (x_j - ) is computed exactly and shown to satisfy a central limit theorem as NN \to \infty. For the circular random matrix ensemble the p.d.f.'s for the linear statistics 12j=1N(θjπ){1 \over 2} \sum_{j=1}^N (\theta_j - \pi) and j=1Nlog2sinθj/2- \sum_{j=1}^N \log 2|\sin \theta_j/2| are calculated exactly by using a constant term identity from the theory of the Selberg integral, and are also shown to satisfy a central limit theorem as NN \to \infty.Comment: LaTeX 2.09, 11 pages + 3 eps figs (needs epsf.sty

    Applications and generalizations of Fisher-Hartwig asymptotics

    Full text link
    Fisher-Hartwig asymptotics refers to the large nn form of a class of Toeplitz determinants with singular generating functions. This class of Toeplitz determinants occurs in the study of the spin-spin correlations for the two-dimensional Ising model, and the ground state density matrix of the impenetrable Bose gas, amongst other problems in mathematical physics. We give a new application of the original Fisher-Hartwig formula to the asymptotic decay of the Ising correlations above TcT_c, while the study of the Bose gas density matrix leads us to generalize the Fisher-Hartwig formula to the asymptotic form of random matrix averages over the classical groups and the Gaussian and Laguerre unitary matrix ensembles. Another viewpoint of our generalizations is that they extend to Hankel determinants the Fisher-Hartwig asymptotic form known for Toeplitz determinants.Comment: 25 page

    Scaling limit of vicious walks and two-matrix model

    Full text link
    We consider the diffusion scaling limit of the one-dimensional vicious walker model of Fisher and derive a system of nonintersecting Brownian motions. The spatial distribution of NN particles is studied and it is described by use of the probability density function of eigenvalues of N×NN \times N Gaussian random matrices. The particle distribution depends on the ratio of the observation time tt and the time interval TT in which the nonintersecting condition is imposed. As t/Tt/T is going on from 0 to 1, there occurs a transition of distribution, which is identified with the transition observed in the two-matrix model of Pandey and Mehta. Despite of the absence of matrix structure in the original vicious walker model, in the diffusion scaling limit, accumulation of contact repulsive interactions realizes the correlated distribution of eigenvalues in the multimatrix model as the particle distribution.Comment: REVTeX4, 12 pages, no figure, minor corrections made for publicatio

    Critical behavior in Angelesco ensembles

    Full text link
    We consider Angelesco ensembles with respect to two modified Jacobi weights on touching intervals [a,0] and [0,1], for a < 0. As a \to -1 the particles around 0 experience a phase transition. This transition is studied in a double scaling limit, where we let the number of particles of the ensemble tend to infinity while the parameter a tends to -1 at a rate of order n^{-1/2}. The correlation kernel converges, in this regime, to a new kind of universal kernel, the Angelesco kernel K^{Ang}. The result follows from the Deift/Zhou steepest descent analysis, applied to the Riemann-Hilbert problem for multiple orthogonal polynomials.Comment: 32 pages, 9 figure

    Universal Behavior of Correlations between Eigenvalues of Random Matrices

    Get PDF
    The universal connected correlations proposed recently between eigenvalues of unitary random matrices is examined numerically. We perform an ensemble average by the Monte Carlo sampling. Although density of eigenvalues and a bare correlation of the eigenvalues are not universal, the connected correlation shows a universal behavior after smoothing.Comment: ISSP-September-199

    Data mining: a tool for detecting cyclical disturbances in supply networks.

    Get PDF
    Disturbances in supply chains may be either exogenous or endogenous. The ability automatically to detect, diagnose, and distinguish between the causes of disturbances is of prime importance to decision makers in order to avoid uncertainty. The spectral principal component analysis (SPCA) technique has been utilized to distinguish between real and rogue disturbances in a steel supply network. The data set used was collected from four different business units in the network and consists of 43 variables; each is described by 72 data points. The present paper will utilize the same data set to test an alternative approach to SPCA in detecting the disturbances. The new approach employs statistical data pre-processing, clustering, and classification learning techniques to analyse the supply network data. In particular, the incremental k-means clustering and the RULES-6 classification rule-learning algorithms, developed by the present authors’ team, have been applied to identify important patterns in the data set. Results show that the proposed approach has the capability automatically to detect and characterize network-wide cyclical disturbances and generate hypotheses about their root cause

    Correlations between eigenvalues of large random matrices with independent entries

    Full text link
    We derive the connected correlation functions for eigenvalues of large Hermitian random matrices with independently distributed elements using both a diagrammatic and a renormalization group (RG) inspired approach. With the diagrammatic method we obtain a general form for the one, two and three-point connected Green function for this class of ensembles when matrix elements are identically distributed, and then discuss the derivation of higher order functions by the same approach. Using the RG approach we re-derive the one and two-point Green functions and show they are unchanged by choosing certain ensembles with non-identically distributed elements. Throughout, we compare the Green functions we obtain to those from the class of ensembles with unitary invariant distributions and discuss universality in both ensemble classes.Comment: 23 pages, RevTex, hard figures available from [email protected]
