Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the asymptotic properties for the largest eigenvalue of the Hermitian random matrix ensemble, called the Generalized Cauchy ensemble GCyGCy, whose eigenvalues PDF is given by const1j<kN(xjxk)2j=1N(1+ixj)sN(1ixj)sˉNdxj,\textrm{const}\cdot\prod_{1\leq j<k\leq N}(x_j-x_k)^2\prod_{j=1}^N (1+ix_j)^{-s-N}(1-ix_j)^{-\bar{s}-N}dx_j,where ss is a complex number such that (s)>1/2\Re(s)>-1/2 and where NN is the size of the matrix ensemble. Using results by Borodin and Olshanski \cite{Borodin-Olshanski}, we first prove that for this ensemble, the largest eigenvalue divided by NN converges in law to some probability distribution for all ss such that (s)>1/2\Re(s)>-1/2. Using results by Forrester and Witte \cite{Forrester-Witte2} on the distribution of the largest eigenvalue for fixed NN, we also express the limiting probability distribution in terms of some non-linear second order differential equation. Eventually, we show that the convergence of the probability distribution function of the re-scaled largest eigenvalue to the limiting one is at least of order (1/N)(1/N).
