Random clusters in the Villain and XY models
In the Ising and Potts model, random cluster representations provide a
geometric interpretation to spin correlations. We discuss similar constructions
for the Villain and XY models, where spins take values in the circle, as well
as extensions to models with different single site spin spaces. In the Villain
case, we highlight natural interpretation in terms of the cable system
extension of the model. We also list questions and open problems on the cluster
representations obtained in this fashion.Comment: 29 pages, 4 figure
Liouville quantum gravity from random matrix dynamics
We establish the first connection between Liouville quantum gravity and
natural dynamics of random matrices. In particular, we show that if is
a Brownian motion on the unitary group at equilibrium, then the measures converge in the limit of
large dimension to the LQG measure, a properly normalized exponential of
the Gaussian free field. Gaussian free field type fluctuations associated
with these dynamics were first established by Spohn (1998) and convergence to
the LQG measure in settings was conjectured since the work of Webb (2014),
who proved the convergence of related one dimensional measures by using inputs
from Riemann-Hilbert theory.
The convergence follows from the first multi-time extension of the result by
Widom (1973) on Fisher-Hartwig asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants with real
symbols. To prove these, we develop a general surgery argument and combine
determinantal point processes estimates with stochastic analysis on Lie group,
providing in passing a probabilistic proof of Webb's result. We believe
the techniques will be more broadly applicable to matrix dynamics out of
equilibrium, joint moments of determinants for classes of correlated random
matrices, and the characteristic polynomial of non-Hermitian random matrices.Comment: v3: fixes a minor error in the proof of Proposition 3.4, 40 page
Asymptotic analysis of downlink MIMO systems over Rician fading channels
In this work, we focus on the ergodic sum rate in the downlink of a
single-cell large-scale multi-user MIMO system in which the base station
employs N antennas to communicate with single-antenna user equipments. A
regularized zero-forcing (RZF) scheme is used for precoding under the
assumption that each link forms a spatially correlated MIMO Rician fading
channel. The analysis is conducted assuming and grow large with a non
trivial ratio and perfect channel state information is available at the base
station. Recent results from random matrix theory and large system analysis are
used to compute an asymptotic expression of the signal-to-interference-
plus-noise ratio as a function of the system parameters, the spatial
correlation matrix and the Rician factor. Numerical results are used to
evaluate the performance gap in the finite system regime under different
operating conditions.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Published at the 41st IEEE International

A renormalization approach to the Liouville quantum gravity metric
This thesis explores metric properties of Liouville quantum gravity (LQG), a random geometry with conformal symmetries introduced in the context of string theory by Polyakov in the 80’s. Formally, it corresponds to the Riemannian metric tensor “e^{γh}(dx² + dy²)” where h is a planar Gaussian free field and γ is a parameter in (0, 2). Since h is a random Schwartz distribution with negative regularity, the exponential e^{γh} only makes sense formally and the associated volume form and distance functions are not well-defined. The mathematical language to define the volume form was introduced by Kahane, also in the 80’s. In this thesis, we explore a renormalization approach to make sense of the distance function and we study its basic properties
Weak LQG metrics and Liouville first passage percolation
Funder: Columbia University Minerva fundAbstract: For γ∈(0, 2), we define a weakγ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) metric to be a function h↦Dh which takes in an instance of the planar Gaussian free field and outputs a metric on the plane satisfying a certain list of natural axioms. We show that these axioms are satisfied for any subsequential limits of Liouville first passage percolation. Such subsequential limits were proven to exist by Ding et al. (Tightness of Liouville first passage percolation for γ∈(0, 2), 2019. ArXiv e-prints, arXiv:1904.08021). It is also known that these axioms are satisfied for the 8/3-LQG metric constructed by Miller and Sheffield (2013–2016). For any weak γ-LQG metric, we obtain moment bounds for diameters of sets as well as point-to-point, set-to-set, and point-to-set distances. We also show that any such metric is locally bi-Hölder continuous with respect to the Euclidean metric and compute the optimal Hölder exponents in both directions. Finally, we show that LQG geodesics cannot spend a long time near a straight line or the boundary of a metric ball. These results are used in subsequent work by Gwynne and Miller which proves that the weak γ-LQG metric is unique for each γ∈(0, 2), which in turn gives the uniqueness of the subsequential limit of Liouville first passage percolation. However, most of our results are new even in the special case when γ=8/3

Asymptotic analysis of downlink MISO systems over Rician fading channels
International audienceIn this work, we focus on the ergodic sum rate in the downlink of a single-cell large-scale multiuser MIMO system in which the base station employs N antennas to communicate with K single-antenna user equipments. A regularized zero-forcing (RZF) scheme is used for precoding under the assumption that each link forms a spatially correlated MIMO Rician fading channel. The analysis is conducted assuming N and K grow large with a non trivial ratio and perfect channel state information is available at the base station. Recent results from random matrix theory and large system analysis are used to compute an asymptotic expression of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio as a function of the system parameters, the spatial correlation matrix and the Rician factor.
