It has been recently shown that if $X$ is an $n\times N$ matrix whose entries are i.i.d. standard complex Gaussian and $l_1$ is the largest eigenvalue of $X^*X$, there exist sequences $m_{n,N}$ and $s_{n,N}$ such that…

We consider fluctuations of the largest eigenvalues of the random matrix model $A+UBU^{*}$ where $A$ and $B$ are $N \times N$ deterministic Hermitian (or symmetric) matrices and $U$ is a Haar-distributed unitary (or orthogonal) matrix. We…

A Wishart matrix is said to be spiked when the underlying covariance matrix has a single eigenvalue $b$ different from unity. As $b$ increases through $b=2$, a gap forms from the largest eigenvalue to the rest of the spectrum, and with…
