Hochst\"attler, Kirsch, and Warzel showed that the semicircle law holds for generalized Curie-Weiss matrix ensembles at or above the critical temperature. We extend their result to the case of subcritical temperatures for which the…
In this paper we study ensembles of random symmetric matrices $\X_n = {X_{ij}}_{i,j = 1}^n$ with dependent entries such that $\E X_{ij} = 0$, $\E X_{ij}^2 = \sigma_{ij}^2$, where $\sigma_{ij}$ may be different numbers. Assuming that the…
We derive and compare various forms of local semicircle laws for random matrices with exchangeable entries which exhibit correlations that decay at a very slow rate. In fact, any $l$-point correlation will decay at a rate of $N^{-l/2}$. We…

We study the limiting spectral distribution of sample covariance matrices $XX^T$, where $X$ are $p\times n$ random matrices with correlated entries, for the cases $p/n\to y\in [0,\infty)$. If $y>0$, we obtain the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur…
We investigate the spectral distribution of random matrix ensembles with correlated entries. We consider symmetric matrices with real valued entries and stochastically independent diagonals. Along the diagonals the entries may be…
It is a classical result of Wigner that for an hermitian matrix with independent entries on and above the diagonal, the mean empirical eigenvalue distribution converges weakly to the semicircle law as matrix size tends to infinity. In this…
The scaled standard Wigner matrix (symmetric with mean zero, variance one i.i.d. entries), and its limiting eigenvalue distribution, namely the semi-circular distribution, has attracted much attention. The $2k$th moment of the limit equals…
For a class of random matrix ensembles with correlated matrix elements, it is shown that the density of states is given by the Wigner semi-circle law. This is applied to effective Hamiltonians related to the Anderson model in dimensions…
These notes provide an introduction to the local semicircle law from random matrix theory, as well as some of its applications. We focus on Wigner matrices, Hermitian random matrices with independent upper-triangular entries with zero…
We revisit the moment method to obtain a slightly strengthened version of the usual semicircular law. Our version assumes only that the upper triangular entries of Hermitian random matrices are independent, have mean zero and variances…
We build and study a multidimensional version of the Curie-Weiss model of self-organized criticality we have designed in arXiv:1301.6911. For symmetric distributions satisfying some integrability condition, we prove that the sum $S_n$ of…
We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution of random real symmetric matrices with stochastically independent skew-diagonals and study its limit if the matrix size tends to infinity. We allow correlations between entries on the same…
We consider a random symmetric matrix ${\bf X} = [X_{jk}]_{j,k=1}^n$ with upper triangular entries being independent identically distributed random variables with mean zero and unit variance. We additionally suppose that $\mathbb E…
The eigenvalue density for members of the Gaussian orthogonal and unitary ensembles follows the Wigner semi-circle law. If the Gaussian entries are all shifted by a constant amount c/Sqrt(2N), where N is the size of the matrix, in the large…
We discuss a Curie-Weiss model with two groups with different coupling constants within and between groups. For the total magnetisations in each group, we show bivariate laws of large numbers and a central limit theorem which is valid in…

We consider the joint distribution of eigenvalue clusters of the Wigner ensemble separated by macroscopic distances (i.e., on the same scale as the difference between the edges of the semicircle law). We prove that under an averaging…
We show that Wigner semi-circle law holds for Hermitian matrices with dependent entries, provided the deviation of the cumulants from the normalised Gaussian case obeys a simple power law bound in the size of the matrix. To establish this…
We consider large Hermitian matrices whose entries are defined by evaluating the exponential function along orbits of the skew-shift $\binom{j}{2} \omega+jy+x \mod 1$ for irrational $\omega$. We prove that the eigenvalue distribution of…
