Characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices have been intensively studied in recent years: by number theorists in connection with Riemann zeta-function, and by theoretical physicists in connection with Quantum Chaos. In particular, Haake and collaborators have computed the variance of the coefficients of these polynomials and raised the question of computing the higher moments. The answer turns out to be intimately related to counting integer stochastic matrices (magic squares). Similar results are obtained for the moments of secular coefficients of random matrices from orthogonal and symplectic groups. Combinatorial meaning of the moments of the secular coefficients of GUE matrices is also investigated and the connection with matching polynomials is discussed.

AbstractWe establish an asymptotic formula describing the horizontal distribution of the zeros of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function. For ℜ(s) = σ satisfying (log T)−1/3+ε ⩽ (2σ − 1) ⩽ (log log T)−2, we show that the number of zeros of ζ′(s) with imaginary part between zero and T and real part larger than σ is asymptotic to T/(2π(σ−1/2)) as T → ∞. This agrees with a prediction from random matrix theory due to Mezzadri. Hence, for σ in this range the zeros of ζ′(s) are horizontally distributed like the zeros of the derivative of characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices are radially distributed.

We study the limiting distribution of a pair counting statistics of the form [Formula: see text] for the circular [Formula: see text]-ensemble (C[Formula: see text]E) of random matrices for sufficiently smooth test function [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] our results are inspired by a classical result of Montgomery on pair correlation of zeros of Riemann zeta function.

We apply the operation of random independent thinning on the eigenvalues of [Formula: see text] Haar distributed unitary random matrices. We study gap probabilities for the thinned eigenvalues, and we study the statistics of the eigenvalues of random unitary matrices which are conditioned such that there are no thinned eigenvalues on a given arc of the unit circle. Various probabilistic quantities can be expressed in terms of Toeplitz determinants and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, and we use these expressions to obtain asymptotics as [Formula: see text].

In this note, we give a combinatorial and noncomputational proof of the asymptotics of the integer moments of the moments of the characteristic polynomials of Haar distributed unitary matrices as the size of the matrix goes to infinity. This is achieved by relating these quantities to a lattice point count problem. Our main result is a new explicit expression for the leading order coefficient in the asymptotic as a volume of a certain region involving continuous Gelfand–Tsetlin patterns with constraints.

AbstractWe calculate, for a branching random walk $$X_n(l)$$ X n ( l ) to a leaf l at depth n on a binary tree, the positive integer moments of the random variable $$\frac{1}{2^{n}}\sum _{l=1}^{2^n}e^{2\beta X_n(l)}$$ 1 2 n ∑ l = 1 2 n e 2 β X n ( l ) , for $$\beta \in {\mathbb {R}}$$ β ∈ R . We obtain explicit formulae for the first few moments for finite n. In the limit $$n\rightarrow \infty $$ n → ∞ , our expression coincides with recent conjectures and results concerning the moments of moments of characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices, supporting the idea that these two problems, which both fall into the class of logarithmically correlated Gaussian random fields, are related to each other.
