Sharp decay thresholds for eigenvalues of discrete Schrödinger operators on

Shirshendu Ganguly, Wencai Liu

We study eigenvalues of discrete Schrödinger operators on , where is the uncentered Laplacian, i.e., the un-normalized adjacency operator of $\mathbb{Z}^2…

Logarithmic intermittency of the critical 2D SHF

Shirshendu Ganguly, Kyeongsik Nam

While the solution to the dimensional stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise is closely related to the exponential of a Brownian motion, the two-dimensional pictu…

Correlation decay in area-tilted line ensembles

Shirshendu Ganguly, Vilas Winstein

Random surfaces on a hard substrate often exhibit entropic repulsion, wherein the surface is propelled upwards to allow entropically preferable downward fluctuations. A particularl…

Temperature chaos in directed polymers

Shirshendu Ganguly, Victor Ginsburg, Zoe Himwich

Disordered systems such as spin glasses and polymers characteristically exhibit random energy landscapes with many macroscopically separated energetic valleys corresponding to near…

van den Berg-Kesten--type correlation inequalities for disjoint polymers in the KPZ universality class

Shirshendu Ganguly, Milind Hegde, Lingfu Zhang

In classical percolation theory, the van den Berg-Kesten (BK) inequality is a fundamental tool that shows that disjoint events induce negative conditionings on each other. The ineq…

Decoupling of clusters in independent sets in a percolated hypercube

Mriganka Basu Roy Chowdhury, Shirshendu Ganguly, Vilas Winstein

Independent sets in graphs are sets of vertices containing no neighbors, and they represent a canonical spin system with hardcore constraints. Of particular interest is the setting…

On quantum to classical comparison for Davies generators

Joao Basso, Shirshendu Ganguly, Alistair Sinclair +3

Despite extensive study, our understanding of quantum Markov chains remains far less complete than that of their classical counterparts. [Temme'13] observed that the Davies Lindbla…

Sharp moment and upper tail asymptotics for the critical Stochastic Heat Flow

Shirshendu Ganguly, Kyeongsik Nam

While dimensional growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class have witnessed an explosion of activity, higher dimensional models remain much less explored. Th…

Spectral properties of the zero temperature Edwards-Anderson model

Mriganka Basu Roy Chowdhury, Shirshendu Ganguly

An Ising model with random couplings on a graph is a model of a spin glass. While the mean field case of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model is very well studied, the more realistic…

Branch lengths for geodesics in the directed landscape and mutation patterns in growing spatially structured populations

Shirshendu Ganguly, Jason Schweinsberg, Yubo Shuai

Consider a population that is expanding in two-dimensional space. Suppose we collect data from a sample of individuals taken at random either from the entire population, or from ne…

Invariance principle for the Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos via a high dimensional CLT with low rank increments

Mriganka Basu Roy Chowdhury, Shirshendu Ganguly

Gaussian multiplicative chaos (GMC) is a canonical random fractal measure obtained by exponentiating log-correlated Gaussian processes, first constructed in the seminal work of Kah…

Last passage percolation in hierarchical environments

Shirshendu Ganguly, Victor Ginsburg, Kyeongsik Nam

Last passage percolation (LPP) is a model of a directed metric and a zero-temperature polymer where the main observable is a directed path evolving in a random environment accruing…

Gaussian to log-normal transition for independent sets in a percolated hypercube

Mriganka Basu Roy Chowdhury, Shirshendu Ganguly, Vilas Winstein

Independent sets in graphs, i.e., subsets of vertices where no two are adjacent, have long been studied, for instance as a model of hard-core gas. The -dimensional hypercube, $\…

The ant on loops: Alexander-Orbach conjecture for the critical level set of the Gaussian free field

Shirshendu Ganguly, Kyeongsik Nam

Alexander and Orbach (AO) in 1982 conjectured that the simple random walk on critical percolation clusters (also known as the ant in the labyrinth) in Euclidean lattices exhibit me…

Brownian bridge limit of path measures in the upper tail of KPZ models

Shirshendu Ganguly, Milind Hegde, Lingfu Zhang

For models in the KPZ universality class, such as the zero temperature model of planar last passage-percolation (LPP) and the positive temperature model of directed polymers, its u…

Characterizing Gibbs states for area-tilted Brownian lines

Mriganka Basu Roy Chowdhury, Pietro Caputo, Shirshendu Ganguly

Gibbsian line ensembles are families of Brownian lines arising in many natural contexts such as the level curves of three dimensional Ising interfaces, the solid-on-solid model, mu…

Unique continuation on planar graphs

Ahmed Bou-Rabee, William Cooperman, Shirshendu Ganguly

We show that a discrete harmonic function which is bounded on a large portion of a periodic planar graph is constant. A key ingredient is a new unique continuation result for the w…

Uniqueness, mixing, and optimal tails for Brownian line ensembles with geometric area tilt

Pietro Caputo, Shirshendu Ganguly

We consider non-colliding Brownian lines above a hard wall, which are subject to geometrically growing (given by a parameter ) area tilts, which we call the -tilted line en…
