Delocalization for Random Landau Hamiltonians with Unbounded Random Variables
In Section II we review previous theoretical work, in particular the scenario for conformality originally proposed in Refs. [3, 4], and define our strategy.
Evidence for a conformal phase in SU(N) gauge theories
As is customary in the case of random matrix theory, we work in an asymptotic setting with N and n both tending to infinity, and their ratio n/N tending to a constant γ ∈ (0, ∞).
Minimax rank estimation for subspace tracking
Typically, there will be some vertices of Ct whose neighbours have not all been exposed; since we are working in the configuration model, this is equivalent to saying that there are some vertex-copies of vertices in Ct whose partners in the configuration have not been exposed.

Shall I then lie downed in night?
Might thy grace in me but shine,
I should seem made all of light.
Unto my seeming, there doth lurk

More mood than purpose in her work.

I clear myself from no offence,
Yet wash mine hands in innocence.

Seek for fame for my beloved country
As in Heavens, so on the earth.

Being here best in his creatures known,
Why is he not loved in them best?
