Matrix Whittaker processes

Jonas Arista, Elia Bisi, Neil O'Connell

We study a discrete-time Markov process on triangular arrays of matrices of size , driven by inverse Wishart random matrices. The components of the right edge evolve as mu…

Matsumoto-Yor and Dufresne type theorems for a random walk on positive definite matrices

Jonas Arista, Elia Bisi, Neil O'Connell

We establish analogues of the geometric Pitman theorem of Matsumoto and Yor and of the classical Dufresne identity, for a multiplicative random walk on positive definite mat…

The Doob-McKean identity for stable Lévy processes

Andreas E. Kyprianou, Neil O'Connell

We re-examine the celebrated Doob--McKean identity that identifies a conditioned one-dimensional Brownian motion as the radial part of a 3-dimensional Brownian motion or, equivalen…

Tilted elastic lines with columnar and point disorder, non-Hermitian quantum mechanics and spiked random matrices: pinning and localization

Alexandre Krajenbrink, Pierre Le Doussal, Neil O'Connell

We revisit the problem of an elastic line (e.g. a vortex line in a superconductor) subject to both columnar disorder and point disorder in dimension . Upon applying a transv…

The geometric Burge correspondence and the partition function of polymer replicas

Elia Bisi, Neil O'Connell, Nikos Zygouras

We construct a geometric lifting of the Burge correspondence as a composition of local birational maps on generic Young-diagram-shaped arrays. We establish its fundamental relation…

Scaling limits for non-intersecting polymers and Whittaker measures

Samuel G. G. Johnston, Neil O'Connell

We study the partition functions associated with non-intersecting polymers in a random environment. By considering paths in series and in parallel, the partition functions carry na…
