Description:

This course will give a brief introduction to random matrix theory. Some topics we plan to cover are: Wigner semicircle law, the moment method, the resolvent method, invariant ensembles, Wigner matrices, sample covariance matrices, bulk universality, edge universality, rigidity of eigenvalues, Dyson Brownian motion, Tracy-Widom law, and free probability.

Prerequisite：

Probability, Stochastic Processes

Random Walks and Homogenization Theory
Description: The central-limit type results are universal in many random walk models: they are known as Donsker’s theorem for the classical Zd random walk, and also hold for some random walks in random environment, even when the environment is degenerate like percolation. In their proofs, the homogenization theory, which comes from PDE, plays an important role. This course will cover the follo...

Large-N Matrix models and Spectral Curves
IntroductionMatrix models are ubiquitous both in Mathematics and in Theoretical Physics. The aim of this course is to introduce the main approaches to U(N)-invariant random matrix models: Coulomb gas, orthogonal polynomials, loop equations, topological recursion, tau-functions and integrable hierarchies. Most of these techniques are based on the fact that the eigenvalues of the random matrix be...
