Capacity bounds for the CDMA system and a neural network: a moderate deviations approach

Matthias Löwe, Franck Vermet (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We study two systems that are based on sums of weakly dependent Bernoulli random variables that take values ± 1 with equal probabilities. We show that already one step of the so-called soft decision parallel interference cancellation, used in the third generation of mobile telecommunication CDMA, is able to considerably increase the number of users such a system can host. We also consider a variant of the well-known Hopfield model of neural networks. We show that this variant proposed by Amari...

Cavity method in the spherical SK model

Dmitry Panchenko (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We develop a cavity method for the spherical Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model at high temperature and small external field. As one application we compute the limit of the covariance matrix for fluctuations of the overlap and magnetization.

Disorder relevance at marginality and critical point shift

Giambattista Giacomin, Hubert Lacoin, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Recently the renormalization group predictions on the effect of disorder on pinning models have been put on mathematical grounds. The picture is particularly complete if the disorder is relevant or irrelevant in the Harris criterion sense: the question addressed is whether quenched disorder leads to a critical behavior which is different from the one observed in the pure, i.e. annealed, system. The Harris criterion prediction is based on the sign of the specific heat exponent of the pure system,...

Disorder relevance for the random walk pinning model in dimension 3

Matthias Birkner, Rongfeng Sun (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study the continuous time version of the random walk pinning model, where conditioned on a continuous time random walk (Ys)s≥0 on ℤd with jump rate ρ > 0, which plays the role of disorder, the law up to time t of a second independent random walk (Xs)0≤s≤t with jump rate 1 is Gibbs transformed with weight eβLt(X,Y), where Lt(X, Y) is the collision local time between X and Y up to time t. As the inverse temperature β varies, the model undergoes a localization–delocalization transition at...

Gap universality of generalized Wigner and β -ensembles

László Erdős, Horng-Tzer Yau (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider generalized Wigner ensembles and general β -ensembles with analytic potentials for any β 1 . The recent universality results in particular assert that the local averages of consecutive eigenvalue gaps in the bulk of the spectrum are universal in the sense that they coincide with those of the corresponding Gaussian β -ensembles. In this article, we show that local averaging is not necessary for this result, i.e. we prove that the single gap distributions in the bulk are universal. In fact,...

Hierarchical pinning model in correlated random environment

Quentin Berger, Fabio Lucio Toninelli (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider the hierarchical disordered pinning model studied in (J. Statist. Phys.66 (1992) 1189–1213), which exhibits a localization/delocalization phase transition. In the case where the disorder is i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed), the question of relevance/irrelevance of disorder (i.e. whether disorder changes or not the critical properties with respect to the homogeneous case) is by now mathematically rather well understood (Probab. Theory Related Fields148 (2010) 159–175,...
