Manjunath Krishnapur


I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mathematics at University of Toronto. Before coming here, I was a postdoc at SAMSI in North Carolina, USA prior to which, I got my PhD from the Department of Statistics at U.C.Berkeley where my adviser was Prof. Yuval Peres. I have B.Stat(Hons) and M.Stat degrees in Statistics from the Indian Statistical Institute at Kolkata and Bangalore, India. I am a probabilist. My research interests are in random analytic functions, random matrices and determinantal point processes.

Publications and Preprints


In preparation

  • Zeros of Gaussian analytic functions and Determinantal point processes (jointly with J.Ben Hough, Yuval Peres and Bálint Virág )
    A book, to be published by AMS

  • Random matrix-valued analytic functions: Generalizations of the circular law
    We show that the empirical measure of singular points of a random matrix-valued analytic function with independent entries having covariance kernel K(z,w) converges weakly (as the matrix size tends to infinity) to a deterministic measure whose density is given explicitly in terms of K.
