  1. We develop a quantitative large deviations theory for random hypergraphs, which rests on tensor decomposition and counting lemmas under a novel family of cut-type norms. As our main application, we obtain sharp asymptotics for joint upper and lower tails of homomorphism counts in the r-uniform Erdo ̋s–Rényi hypergraph for any fixed r≥2, generalizing and improving on previous results for the Erdo ̋s–Rényi graph (r=2). The theory is sufficiently quantitative to allow the density of the hypergraph to vanish at a polynomial rate, and additionally yields tail asymptotics for other nonlinear functionals, such as induced homomorphism counts.

  2. Abstract We give a new proof of a recent resolution [18] by Michelen and Sahasrabudhe of a conjecture of Shepp and Vanderbei [19] that the moduli of roots of Gaussian Kac polynomials of degree $$n$$, centered at $$1$$ and rescaled by $n^2$, should form a Poisson point process. We use this new approach to verify a conjecture from [18] that the Poisson statistics are in fact universal.
