Symmetric Functionals on Random Matrices and Random Matchings Problems

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications SYMMETRIC FUNCTIONALS ON RANDOM MATRICES AND RANDOM MATCHINGS PROBLEMS During the academic year 2003–2004, the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) held a thematic program on Probability and Stat- tics in Complex Systems. The program focused on large complex systems in which stochasticity plays a signi?cant role. Such systems are very diverse, and the IMA program emphasized systems as varied as the human genome, the internet, an
