Extreme value statistics (EVS) concerns the study of the statistics of the maximum or the
minimum of a set of random variables. This is an important problem for any time-series and …

Most of the physical laws are only approximate. The P and T symmetries are broken, the
neutrino has mass, the proton is expected to decay etc. The new discoveries usually reveal …

Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large $ N $ limits of certain conformal
field theories in $ d $ dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string …

The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on $ AdS $ space and
boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of ${\cal N}= 4$ super Yang …

This volume is a review on coherent states and some of their applications. The usefulness of
the concept of coherent states is illustrated by considering specific examples from the fields …

The authors consider the length, $ l_N $, of the longest increasing subsequence of a
random permutation of $ N $ numbers. The main result in this paper is a proof that the …

We develop a flow-based sampling algorithm for SU (N) lattice gauge theories that is gauge
invariant by construction. Our key contribution is constructing a class of flows on an SU (N) …

It is pointed out that the factorization of disconnected Wilson loop amplitudes implies a major
reduction in the dynamical degrees of freedom in the large-N limit of lattice gauge theory; the …

In this paper our aim is to present as simply, but as completely as possible, some results on
the counting of graphs (to be defined precisely below) drawn on a Riemann surface. These …

This exhaustive survey is the result of a four year effort by many leading researchers in the
field to produce both a readable introduction and a yardstick for the many upcoming …
