High-dimensional permutons: the Schnyder wood and Brownian separable d-permuton

The simulations in this page are for this work on the high-dimensional theory for permutons.  The Schnyder wood permuton & the Brownian separable 3-permuton Simulations for two 3-dimensional permutons. Each simulation is spinning along the Z-axis (w.r.t. the notation used in our paper). The 3-dimensional permuton associated with a permutation of size 10000 sampled from the Schnyder …

[20] High-dimensional permutons: theory and applications (with Andrew Lin).

Permutons, which are probability measures on the unit square with uniform marginals, are the natural scaling limits for sequences of (random) permutations. We introduce a -dimensional generalization of these measures for all , which we call –dimensional permutons, and extend — from the two-dimensional setting — the theory to prove convergence of sequences of (random) …

[19] Surface sums for lattice Yang–Mills in the large-N limit (with Sky Cao and Jasper Shogren-Knaak).

We give a sum over weighted planar surfaces formula for Wilson loop expectations in the large- limit of strongly coupled lattice Yang–Mills theory, in any dimension. The weights of each surface are simple and expressed in terms of products of signed Catalan numbers. In establishing our results, the main novelty is to convert a recursive …

[18] Reconstructing SLE-decorated Liouville quantum gravity surfaces from random permutons (with Ewain Gwynne).

Permutons constructed from a Liouville quantum gravity surface and a pair of space-filling Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLEs) have been shown — or are conjectured — to describe the scaling limit of various natural models of random constrained permutations.  We prove that, in two distinct and natural settings, these permutons uniquely determine, modulo rotation, scaling, translation and …

Lattice Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit via random surfaces

Lattice Yang-Mills theories are important models in particle physics. They are defined on the d-dimensional lattice  using a group of matrices of dimension , and Wilson loop expectations are the fundamental observables of these theories. Recently, Cao, Park, and Sheffield showed that Wilson loop expectations can be expressed as sums over certain embedded bipartite maps of any genus. Building on this novel approach, …

[3] A determinantal point process approach to scaling and local limits of random Young tableaux (with Cédric Boutillier, Valentin Féray, and Pierre-Loïc Méliot). FPSAC 2024 (to appear).

We obtain scaling and local limit results for large random multirectangular Young tableaux via the asymptotic analysis of a determinantal point process due to Gorin and Rahman (2019). In particular, we find an explicit description of the limiting surface, based on solving a complex-valued polynomial equation. As a consequence, we find a simple criteria to …
