Capacity of the range of random walk (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study the capacity of the range of a simple random walk in three and higher dimensions. It is known that the order of the capacity of the random walk range in n dimensions is similar to that of the volume of the random walk range in n-2 dimensions. We show that this correspondence breaks down for the law of the iterated logarithm for the capacity of the random walk range in three dimensions. We also prove the law of the iterated logarithm in higher dimensions. This is joint work with Amir Dembo.

On the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation for LPP (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
KPZ普遍クラスに属するいくつかのモデルにおいて,その推移確率等が複素積分形の関数で書き表せることが知られている.しかしながら,複素積分を用いた計算は複雑となることも多く,KPZ普遍クラスに属するモデルにとって重要な確率論的性質を証明するのが困難となっていた.近年,この問題を解決するものとして対称多項式等を用いた組合せ論的手法に注目が集まってきている.本講演では,最先端の組合せ論的アプローチを用いることで,KPZ普遍クラスの基礎的なモデルであるLast Passage Percolation(LPP)において, Chapman-Kolmogorov equationが容易に得られることを紹介する.

Mobility edge, the Poisson Infinite weighted tree of Aldous and Lévy Matrices (English)
[ Abstract ]
Anderson's 1958 paper on wave scattering in disordered media is still of central importance in contemporary mathematical physics. In this talk, we will present recent progress in understanding the phenomena of localization / delocalization of eigenwaves for some random operators. These operators are built on random trees introduced by Aldous and these are the scaling limits of heavy-tailed random matrices, the Lévy matrices. The focus will be put on the existence of a mobility edge, that is to say of かn abrupt transition between localization and delocalization of eigenwaves. It is a work in collaboration with Amol Aggarwal (Columbia) and Patrick Lopatto (NYU).

Random polymer models and classical groups (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The relation between polymer models at zero temperature and characters of the general linear group GL_n(R) has been known since the first breakthroughs in the field around the KPZ universality through the works of Johansson, Baik, Rains, Okounkov and others. Later on, geometric liftings of the GL_n(R) characters appeared in the study of positive temperature polymer models in the form of GL_n(R)-Whittaker functions. In this talk I will describe joint works with E. Bisi where we have established that Whittaker functions associated to the orthogonal group SO_{2n+1}(R) can be used to describe laws of positive temperature polymers when their end point is free to lie on a line. Going back to zero temperature, we will also see that characters of other classical groups such as SO_{2n+1}(R); Sp_{2n}(R); SO_{2n}(R) do play a role in describing laws of polymers in various geometries. This occurence might be surprising given the length of time these models have been studied.

Two-dimensional stochastic interface growth (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
I will discuss stochastic growth of two-dimensional, discrete interfaces, especially models in the so-called Anisotropic KPZ (AKPZ) class, that has the same large-scale behavior as the Stochastic Heat equation with additive noise. I will focus in particular on: 1) the relation between AKPZ exponents, convexity properties of the speed of growth and the preservation of the Gibbs property; and 2) the relation between singularities of the speed of growth and the occurrence of "smooth" (i.e. non-rough) stationary states.

Random walk at weak and strong disorder (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We consider random walks at low disorder on $\mathbb Z^d$. For dimensions $d\ge 4$, we exhibit a phase transition on the strength of the disorder expressed as an equality between the quenched and annealed rate functions. In dimension $d=2$ we exhibit a universal scaling limit to the stochastic heat equation. This talk is based on joint works with Bazaes, Mukherjee and Saglietti, and with Moreno and Quastel.

On Hydrodynamic Limits of Young Diagrams (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We consider a family of stochastic models of evolving two-dimensional Young diagrams, given in terms of certain energies, with Gibbs invariant measures. `Static' scaling limits of the shape functions, under these Gibbs measures, have been shown by several over the years. The purpose of this article is to study corresponding `dynamical' limits of which less is understood. We show that the hydrodynamic scaling limits of the diagram shape functions may be described by different types of parabolic PDEs, depending on the energy structure.
The talk will be based on the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.03592

Limit theorems for random geometric complexes in the critical regime (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Geometric complexes (eg. Cech complexes or Rips complexes) are simplicial complexes defined on a finite set of points in a Euclidean space together with a radius parameter, which can be viewed as a higher dimensional generalization of geometric graphs. This talk concerns with random geometric complexes built over binomial point processes (collections of iid points). Like random geometric graphs, there are three regimes (subcritical(or dust, sparse) regime, critical (or thermodynamic) regime and supercritical regime) which are divided according the growth of the radius parameters in which the limiting behavior of random geometric complexes is totally different. This talk introduces some results on the strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the critical regime.

Parameter estimation of random matrix models via free probability theory (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
For random matrix models, the parameter estimation based on the likelihood is not straightforward in particular when there is only one sample matrix. We introduce a new parameter optimization method of random matrix models which works even in such a case not based on the likelihood, instead based on the spectral distribution. We use the spectral distribution perturbed by Cauchy noises because the free deterministic equivalent, which is a tool in free probability theory, allows us to approximate it by a smooth and accessible density function.
In addition, we propose a new rank recovery method for the signal-plus-noise model, and experimentally demonstrate that it recovers the true rank even if the rank is not low; It is a simultaneous rank recovery and parameter estimation procedure.

Some results for range of random walk on graph with spectral dimension two (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We consider the range of random walk on graphs with spectral dimension two. We show that a certain weak law of large numbers hold if a recurrent graph satisfies a uniform condition. We construct a recurrent graph such that the uniform condition holds but appropriately scaled expectations fluctuate. Our result is applicable to showing LILs for lamplighter random walks in the case that the spectral dimension of the underlying graph is two.

Random Recursive Tree, Branching Markov Chains and Urn Models (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we will establish a connection between random recursive tree, branching Markov chain and urn model. Exploring the connection further we will derive fairly general scaling limits for urn models with colors indexed by a Polish Space and show that several exiting results on classical/non-classical urn schemes can be easily derived out of such general asymptotic. We will further show that the connection can be used to derive exact asymptotic for the sizes of the connected components of a "random recursive forest", obtained by removing the root of a random recursive tree.
