Welcome

Hello and welcome to my website! I am Alex Little, a postdoctoral research associate in the probability group at ENS de Lyon supervised by Alice Guionnet and Karol Kozlowski. I was originally trained in physics as an undergraduate but did a PhD in mathematics doing pure random matrix theory. I am interested in several related topics, in particular, statistical mechanics, random matrix theory, Riemann-Hilbert problems and the theory of integrable systems. On this site you can find blog posts which give accessible introductions to my work. My current research interest is the statistical mechanics of integrable systems, both quantum and classical.

My publications can be found on Google Scholar and on arXiv. This blog is used to write about things I find interesting and to give accessible discussions of ideas from papers. I am a member of the PIICQ research network. My email is alexander.little (AT) ens-lyon.fr.

My thesis, “Random Elements of Compact Lie Groups and Their Truncations,” can be found here and my CV can be found here. My thesis advisor was Francesco Mezzadri.
