The Nobel-Prize winning Haldane phase of spin-1 antiferromagnetic spin chains is a paradigm for symmetry-protected topological phases. When local charge fluctuations are allowed, there has been a debate: protection by what? My answer is that there exists an adiabatic path to a free-fermion topological phase of class AIII, protected by a particle-hole symmetry. To set the stage, I will review Dyson’s Threefold Way and recall the Tenfold Way of disordered fermions. |

> It is well known that the (complex) empirical spectral distribution of a > non-Hermitian random matrix with i.i.d. entries will converge to the > uniform distribution on the complex disc as the size of the matrix tends > to infinity.

The optimal rate of convergence is determined by the Ginibre > ensemble and is given by $n^{-1/2}$.

The talk is based > on joint work with Friedrich Götze. |

Zeros of random polynomials give a rise to a point process which does look similar to the ones arising in RMT but has no integrable structure. We discuss a long standing problem of finding persistence probability asymptotic behaviour for the family of Kac polynomials of even large degree. We first use imprecise connection to the model of truncations of random orthogonal matrices and calculate persistence probability by using integrability of corresponding RMT model. We then present recent progress in solving another integrable model, namely Gaussian Stationary Process with sech correlations, which was shown in 2002 [Dembo, Poonen, Shao, Zeitouni] to give a precise approximation for Kac polynomials. The talk is based on joint works with M. Gebert (QMUL/UC Davis), G. Schehr (LPTMS). |
