In random matrix theory, the spectral distribution of the covariance matrix has been well studied under the large dimensional asymptotic regime when the dimensionality and the sample size tend to infinity at the same rate. However, most…
This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of Wigner random matrices, in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum, as well as for some intermediate eigenvalues. Relying on the GUE example,…
Random matrix theory allows for the deduction of stability criteria for complex systems using only a summary knowledge of the statistics of the interactions between components. As such, results like the well-known elliptical law are…

The distribution functions of the matricvariate beta type I and II distributions are studied under real normed division algebras. The unified approach for real, complex, quaternions and octonions, also considers general properties and…

We consider $n^2\times n^2$ real symmetric and hermitian matrices $M_n$, which are equal to sum of $m_n$ tensor products of vectors $X^\mu=B(Y^\mu\otimes Y^\mu)$, $\mu=1,\dots,m_n$, where $Y^\mu$ are i.i.d. random vectors from $\mathbb R^n…

We describe some numerical experiments which determine the degree of spectral instability of medium size randomly generated matrices which are far from self-adjoint. The conclusion is that the eigenvalues are likely to be intrinsically…
A recent development in random matrix theory, the intrinsic freeness principle, establishes that the spectrum of very general random matrices behaves as that of an associated free operator. This reduces the study of such random matrices to…
We consider ensembles of Wigner matrices, whose entries are (up to the symmetry constraints) independent and identically distributed random variables. We show the convergence of the Stieltjes transform towards the Stieltjes transform of the…
We find the joint generalized singular value distribution and largest generalized singular value distributions of the $\beta$-MANOVA ensemble with positive diagonal covariance, which is general. This has been done for the continuous $\beta…
We analyze the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices of a wide variety of random trees. Using general, broadly applicable arguments based on the interlacing inequalities for the eigenvalues of a principal submatrix of a Hermitian matrix and…
We place ourselves in the setting of high-dimensional statistical inference, where the number of variables $p$ in a data set of interest is of the same order of magnitude as the number of observations $n$. More formally, we study the…
Sample correlation matrices are employed ubiquitously in statistics. However, quite surprisingly, little is known about their asymptotic spectral properties for high-dimensional data, particularly beyond the case of "null models" for which…
