Quantitative results for banded Toeplitz matrices subject to random and deterministic perturbations

Sean O'Rourke, Philip Matchett Wood

We consider the eigenvalues of a fixed, non-normal matrix subject to a small additive perturbation. In particular, we consider the case when the fixed matrix is a banded Toeplitz m…

Outliers in the spectrum for products of independent random matrices

Natalie Coston, Sean O'Rourke, Philip Matchett Wood

For fixed positive integers m, we consider the product of m independent n by n random matrices with iid entries as in the limit as n tends to infinity. Under suitable assumptions o…

Limiting empirical spectral distribution for the non-backtracking matrix of an Erdős-Rényi random graph

Ke Wang, Philip Matchett Wood

In this note, we give a precise description of the limiting empirical spectral distribution (ESD) for the non-backtracking matrices for an Erdős-Rényi graph assuming te…

Irreducibility of Random Polynomials

Christian Borst, Evan Boyd, Claire Brekken +3

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a nu…

Nonabelian Cohen-Lenstra Moments

Melanie Matchett Wood, Philip Matchett Wood

In this paper we give a conjecture for the average number of unramified -extensions of a quadratic field for any finite group . The Cohen-Lenstra heuristics are the specializ…

Low-degree factors of random polynomials

Sean O'Rourke, Philip Matchett Wood

Motivated by the question of whether a random polynomial with integer coefficients is likely to be irreducible, we study the probability that a monic polynomial with integer coeffi…
