Universality for Orthogonal and Symplectic Laguerre-Type Ensembles

We give a proof of the Universality Conjecture for orthogonal (β=1) and symplectic (β=4) random matrix ensembles of Laguerre-type in the bulk of the spectrum as well as at the hard and soft spectral edges. Our results are stated precisely in the Introduction (Theorems 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 and Corollaries 1.2, 1.5, 1.7). They concern the appropriately rescaled kernels K _{n, β}, correlation and cluster functions, gap probabilities and the distributions of the largest and smallest eigenvalues. Corresponding results for unitary (β=2) Laguerre-type ensembles have been proved by the fourth author in Ref. 23. The varying weight case at the hard spectral edge was analyzed in Ref. 13 for β=2: In this paper we do not consider varying weights. Our proof follows closely the work of the first two authors who showed in Refs. 7, 8 analogous results for Hermite-type ensembles. As in Refs. 7, 8 we use the version of the orthogonal polynomial method presented in Refs. 22, 25, to analyze the local eigenvalue statistics. The necessary asymptotic information on the Laguerre-type orthogonal polynomials is taken from Ref. 23.     

Correlation Kernels for Discrete Symplectic and Orthogonal Ensembles

In [49] H. Widom derived formulae expressing correlation functions of orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices in terms of orthogonal polynomials. We obtain similar results for discrete ensembles with rational discrete logarithmic derivative, and compute explicitly correlation kernels associated to the classical Meixner and Charlier orthogonal polynomials.     

On Universality for Orthogonal Ensembles of Random Matrices

We prove universality of local eigenvalue statistics in the bulk of the spectrum for orthogonal invariant matrix models with real analytic potentials with one interval limiting spectrum. Our starting point is the Tracy-Widom formula for the matrix reproducing kernel. The key idea of the proof is to represent the differentiation operator matrix written in the basis of orthogonal polynomials as a product of a positive Toeplitz matrix and a two diagonal skew symmetric Toeplitz matrix.     

Edge Universality for Orthogonal Ensembles of Random Matrices

We prove edge universality of local eigenvalue statistics for orthogonal invariant matrix models with real analytic potentials and one interval limiting spectrum. Our starting point is the result of Shcherbina (Commun. Math. Phys. 285, 957–974, 2009) on the representation of the reproducing matrix kernels of orthogonal ensembles in terms of scalar reproducing kernel of corresponding unitary ensemble.     

Distribution of the First Particle in Discrete Orthogonal Polynomial Ensembles

 We show that the distribution function of the first particle in a discrete orthogonal polynomial ensemble can be obtained through a certain recurrence procedure, if the (difference or q-) log-derivative of the weight function is rational. In a number of classical special cases the recurrence procedure is equivalent to the difference and q-Painlevé equations of [10, 17]. Our approach is based on the formalism of discrete integrable operators and discrete Riemann–Hilbert problems developed in [3, 4].

On the Relation Between Orthogonal,Symplectic and Unitary Matrix Ensembles

For the unitary ensembles of N×N Hermitian matrices associated with a weight function w there is a kernel, expressible in terms of the polynomials orthogonal with respect to the weight function, which plays an important role. For the orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of Hermitian matrices there are 2×2 matrix kernels, usually constructed using skew-orthogonal polynomials, which play an analogous role. These matrix kernels are determined by their upper left-hand entries. We derive formulas expressing these entries in terms of the scalar kernel for the corresponding unitary ensembles. We also show that whenever w/w is a rational function the entries are equal to the scalar kernel plus some extra terms whose number equals the order of w/w. General formulas are obtained for these extra terms. We do not use skew-orthogonal polynomials in the derivations     

Some Universal Properties for Restricted Trace Gaussian Orthogonal,Unitary and Symplectic Ensembles

Consider fixed and bounded trace Gaussian orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles, closely related to Gaussian ensembles without any constraint. For three restricted trace Gaussian ensembles, we prove universal limits of correlation functions at zero and at the edge of the spectrum edge. Our argument also applies to restricted trace ensembles with monomial potentials. In addition, by using the universal result in the bulk for fixed trace Gaussian unitary ensemble, which has been obtained by Götze and Gordin, we also prove the universal limits of correlation functions everywhere in the bulk for bounded trace Gaussian unitary ensemble.     

On the Proof of Universality for Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles in Random Matrix Theory

We give a streamlined proof of a quantitative version of a result from P. Deift and D. Gioev, Universality in Random Matrix Theory for Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles. IMRP Int. Math. Res. Pap. (in press) which is crucial for the proof of universality in the bulk P. Deift and D. Gioev, Universality in Random Matrix Theory for Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles. IMRP Int. Math. Res. Pap. (in press) and also at the edge P. Deift and D. Gioev, {Universality at the edge of the spectrum for unitary, orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices. Comm. Pure Appl. Math. (in press) for orthogonal and symplectic ensembles of random matrices. As a byproduct, this result gives asymptotic information on a certain ratio of the β=1,2,4 partition functions for log gases.     

Single Particle Schr dinger Fluid and Moments of Inertia of Deformed Nuclei

We have applied the theory of the single-particle Schrodinger fluid to the nuclear collective motion of axially deformed nuclei. A counter example of an arbitrary number of independent nucleons in the anisotropic harmonic oscillator potential at the equilibrium deformation has been also given. Moreover, the ground states of the doubly even nuclei in the s-d shell ²⁰Ne,²⁴Mg,²⁸Si,³²S and ³⁶Ar are constructed by filling the single particle states corresponding to the possible values of the number of quanta of excitations n_x,n_y, and n_z. Accordingly, the cranking-model, the rigid-body model and the equilibrium-model moments of inertia of these nuclei are calculated as functions of the oscillator parameters ω_x,ω_yand ω_z which are given in terms of the non deformed value ω00 , depending on the mass number A, the number of neutrons N, the number of protons Z, and the deformation parameter β. The calculated values of the cranking-model moments of inertia of these nuclei are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values and show that the considered axially deformed nuclei may have oblate as well as prolate shapes and that the nucleus ²⁴Mg is the only one which is highly deformed. The rigid body model and the equilibrium model moments of inertia of the two nuclei ²⁰Ne and ²⁴Mg are also in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values.

Quantum Interface between a Superconducting Qubit and Spin Ensembles

An experimentally feasible strong coupling system between a spin ensemble and a superconducting qubit is studied. The coupling strength can be exponentially enhanced by applying the squeezing transformations to the system. By means of the two spin ensembles commonly coupled to a superconducting qubit, a set of universal nonadiabatic holonomic single‐qubit quantum gates can be realized in a decoherence‐free subspace. Furthermore, this proposal is robust with respect to decay of the system parameters, and it is experimentally feasible with currently available technology.     

Non-equivalence of Dynamical Ensembles and Emergent Non-ergodicity

Dynamical ensembles have been introduced to study constrained stochastic processes. In the microcanonical ensemble, the value of a dynamical observable is constrained to a given value. In the canonical ensemble a bias is introduced in the process to move the mean value of this observable. The equivalence between the two ensembles means that calculations in one or the other ensemble lead to the same result. In this paper, we study the physical conditions associated with ensemble equivalence and the consequences of non-equivalence. For continuous time Markov jump processes, we show that ergodicity guarantees ensemble equivalence. For non-ergodic systems or systems with emergent ergodicity breaking, we adapt a method developed for equilibrium ensembles to compute asymptotic probabilities while caring about the initial condition. We illustrate our results on the infinite range Ising model by characterizing the fluctuations of magnetization and activity. We discuss the emergence of non-ergodicity by showing that the initial condition can only be forgotten after a time that scales exponentially with the number of spins.

     

Ensembles of plasmonic nanospheres at optical frequencies and a problem of negative index behavior

Arrays of metallic nanoparticles support individual and collective plasmonic excitations that contribute to unusual phenomena like surface-enhanced Raman scattering, anomalous transparency, negative index, and subwavelength resolution in various metamaterials. We examined the electromagnetic response of dual Kron’s lattice and films containing up to three monolayers of metallic nanospheres. It appears that open cubic Kron’s lattice exhibits ‘soft’ electromagnetic response but no negative index behavior. The close-packed arrays behave similarly: there are plasmon resonances and very high transmission at certain wavelengths that are much larger than the separation between the particles, and a ‘soft’ magnetic response, with small but positive effective index of refraction. It would be interesting to check these predictions experimentally. PACS 78.20.Ci; 42.30.Wb; 73.20.Mf; 42.25.Bs     

Information and Distinguishability of Ensembles of Identical Quantum States

We consider a fixed quantum measurement performed over n identical copies of quantum states. Using a rigorous notion of distinguishability based on Shannon’s 12th theorem, we show that in the case of a single qubit, the number of distinguishable states is , where (α₁,α₂) is the angle interval from which the states are chosen. In the general case of an N-dimensional Hilbert space and an area Ω of the domain on the unit sphere from which the states are chosen, the number of distinguishable states is . The optimal distribution is uniform over the domain in Cartesian coordinates.     

Numerical Solution of Dyson Brownian Motion and a Sampling Scheme for Invariant Matrix Ensembles

The Dyson Brownian Motion (DBM) describes the stochastic evolution of N points on the line driven by an applied potential, a Coulombic repulsion and identical, independent Brownian forcing at each point. We use an explicit tamed Euler scheme to numerically solve the Dyson Brownian motion and sample the equilibrium measure for non-quadratic potentials. The Coulomb repulsion is too singular for the SDE to satisfy the hypotheses of rigorous convergence proofs for tamed Euler schemes (Hutzenthaler et al. in Ann. Appl. Probab. 22(4):1611–1641, 2012). Nevertheless, in practice the scheme is observed to be stable for time steps of O(1/N ²) and to relax exponentially fast to the equilibrium measure with a rate constant of O(1) independent of N. Further, this convergence rate appears to improve with N in accordance with O(1/N) relaxation of local statistics of the Dyson Brownian motion. This allows us to use the Dyson Brownian motion to sample N×N Hermitian matrices from the invariant ensembles. The computational cost of generating M independent samples is O(MN ⁴) with a naive scheme, and O(MN ³logN) when a fast multipole method is used to evaluate the Coulomb interaction.     

Pentaquark Masses and Magnetic Moments in a Quark Cluster Approach

We study the stability of the different quark substructures in a quark cluster approach to pentaquark states considering the color-magnetic spin-spin interactions between quarks. The most likely configuration is found to be a triquark-diquark one where the two clusters are in a relative p-wave, the two quarks of the diquark are coupled to spin zero and anti-triplet representations of flavor and color, and the triquark has spin ? and belongs to the triplet representation of color and to the anti-sextet of flavor. Using this configuration we estimate the masses and magnetic moments of pentaquarks. Finally the calculation of the masses has been extended to some charmed pentaquarks.

Grand Canonical Ensembles of Sparse Networks and Bayesian Inference

Maximum entropy network ensembles have been very successful in modelling sparse network topologies and in solving challenging inference problems. However the sparse maximum entropy network models proposed so far have fixed number of nodes and are typically not exchangeable. Here we consider hierarchical models for exchangeable networks in the sparse limit, i.e., with the total number of links scaling linearly with the total number of nodes. The approach is grand canonical, i.e., the number of nodes of the network is not fixed a priori: it is finite but can be arbitrarily large. In this way the grand canonical network ensembles circumvent the difficulties in treating infinite sparse exchangeable networks which according to the Aldous-Hoover theorem must vanish. The approach can treat networks with given degree distribution or networks with given distribution of latent variables. When only a subgraph induced by a subset of nodes is known, this model allows a Bayesian estimation of the network size and the degree sequence (or the sequence of latent variables) of the entire network which can be used for network reconstruction.
