Asymptotic distribution of singular values of powers of random matrices
Let $x$ be a complex random variable such that ${\E {x}=0}$, ${\E |x|^2=1}$, ${\E |x|^{4} < \infty}$. Let $x_{ij}$, $i,j \in \{1,2,...\}$ be independet copies of $x$. Let ${\Xb=(N^{-1/2}x_{ij})}$, $1\leq i,j \leq N$ be a random matrix.

Basic income trials and the politics of scale: A research agenda
Abstract The growing popularity of basic income has led to extensive trials of the policy in numerous settings across the world. However, analysis of the politics of basic income, and in particular the political dynamics preceding and resulting from trial programs, lags. In response, we propose a research agenda that uses political scale to investigate

On generating functions of Hausdorff moment sequences [PDF]
The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on $[0,1]$) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on $(-\infty,1)$. We establish this and another such

Constructive Matrix Theory for Higher Order Interaction
This paper provides an extension of the constructive loop vertex expansion to stable matrix models with interactions of arbitrarily high order. We introduce a new representation for such models, then perform a forest expansion on this representation.

Nonhomogeneous parking functions and noncrossing partitions
For each skew shape we define a nonhomogeneous symmetric function, generalizing a construction of Pak and Postnikov. In two special cases, we show that the coefficients of this function when expanded in the complete homogeneous basis are given in terms ...

Stigma, self‐styling and ‘forced accents’ among English L2 speakers in Spain
Abstract This paper examines the relationship between shame, stigma and accent for non‐native English speakers in Spain. The low English competence of the Spanish population frequently constitutes a source of individual and collective stigma – which includes the apparent undesirability of Spanish‐sounding English.

Ethnic bias from within: Catalan preferences for Catalan‐sounding names in adoption decisions
Abstract Although name‐based differential treatment has been widely studied in societies with a dominant language, less is known about how such preferences function within multilingual societies where regional and national hierarchies intersect. In Catalonia, where Spanish–Catalan linguistic boundaries overlap with contested political identities, we ...
