[paper] q-randomized Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondences and random polymers

[2015/04/02]

We introduce and study $q$-randomized Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondences which interpolate between the classical ($q=0$) and geometric ($q\to 1$) RSK correspondences (the latter ones are sometimes also called tropical).

Simulations of stochastic higher spin vertex model

[2015/03/12]

The stochastic higher spin vertex model introduced in my paper with Ivan Corwin ([arXiv:1502.07374 [math.PR]][ivan6v]) generalizes the stochastic six vertex model considered by Borodin, Corwin, and Gorin, arXiv:1407.6729 [math.PR]. Here are some simulations related to this model.

[paper] Stochastic higher spin vertex models on the line

[2015/02/25]

We introduce a four-parameter family of interacting particle systems on the line which can be diagonalized explicitly via a complete set of Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions, and which enjoy certain Markov dualities.

Implementation of Glauber dynamics simulation of random lozenge tilings

[2015/02/18]

I’ve implemented the Glauber dynamics to (approximately) sample uniformly random lozenge tilings of polygons of Gelfand-Tsetlin type. These polygons are called sawtooth domains by J. Novak. This paper by B. Laslier and F.L. Toninelli establishes rate of convergence of the Glauber dynamics to the uniformly random lozenge tiling.

[talk] Spectral theory for interacting particle systems

This talk describes results on spectral theory for q-Hahn zero-range process, ASEP, six-vertex model, and q-TASEP. Based on [14] and [17].

[paper] Spectral theory for interacting particle systems solvable by coordinate Bethe ansatz

[2014/07/31]

We develop spectral theory for the $q$-Hahn stochastic particle system introduced recently by Povolotsky. That is, we establish a Plancherel type isomorphism result which implies completeness and biorthogonality statements for the Bethe ansatz eigenfunctions of the system.

[2014/02/10]

I have collected a number of facts about Markov chains that were discussed in lectures 5-9 in the graduate probability course in Spring 2014.

[paper] Law of Large Numbers for Infinite Random Matrices over a Finite Field

[2014/02/07]

Asymptotic representation theory of general linear groups $GL(n,q)$ over a finite field leads to studying probability measures $\rho$ on the group $U$ of all infinite uni-uppertriangular matrices over $F_q$, with the condition that $\rho$ is invariant under conjugations by arbitrary infinite matrices.

[tech] What time of the day should I submit a preprint to arXiv?

[2014/01/10]

A colleague addressed a question to me and others, and after discussing how arXiv orders submitted preprints we’ve concluded that the rules seem to be like this.

Second quantization

[2014/01/10]

I “grew up” in mathematical sense learning about Fock spaces and some nice things one can do with them. There always was a mysterious physical term “second quantization” attached to the subject (wikipedia). Recently I was reading Felix Berezin’s lecture notes from 1966-67; they are called “Lectures on Statistical Physics”, in English: translated from the Russian and edited by Dimitry Leites), in Russian: MCCME 2008. The full English text can be readily found.

Chapter 25 of these lecture notes contains a clear and historic description of second quantization, in a unified way for Bosons and Fermions. Let me briefly record how this is done.
