In this paper we consider the product of two independent random matrices $\mathbb X^{(1)}$ and $\mathbb X^{(2)}$. Assume that $X_{jk}^{(q)}, 1 \le j,k \le n, q = 1, 2,$ are i.i.d. random variables with $\mathbb E X_{jk}^{(q)} = 0, \mathbb E…

We prove two universality results for random tensors of arbitrary rank D. We first prove that a random tensor whose entries are N^D independent, identically distributed, complex random variables converges in distribution in the large N…
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…
Let $(\varepsilon_j)_{j\geq 0}$ be a sequence of independent $p-$dimensional random vectors and $\tau\geq1$ a given integer. From a sample $\varepsilon_1,\cdots,\varepsilon_{T+\tau-1},\varepsilon_{T+\tau}$ of the sequence, the so-called lag…
The model of heavy Wigner matrices generalizes the classical ensemble of Wigner matrices: the sub-diagonal entries are independent, identically distributed along to and out of the diagonal, and the moments its entries are of order 1/N,…
In this paper, we prove a universality result of convergence for a bivariate random process defined by the eigenvectors of a sample covariance matrix. Let $V_n=(v_{ij})_{i \leq n,\, j\leq m}$ be a $n\times m$ random matrix, where $(n/m)\to…

Let $X_1,..., X_n \in \mathbb{R}^d$ be independent Gaussian random vectors with independent entries and variance profile $(b_{ij})_{i \in [d],j \in [n]}$. A major question in the study of covariance estimation is to give precise control on…
The distribution of singular values of the propagation operator in a random medium is investigated, in a backscattering configuration. Experiments are carried out with pulsed ultrasonic waves around 3 MHz, using an array of 64 programmable…
The asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of the squared singular values of the sample autocovariance matrix between the past and the future of a high-dimensional complex Gaussian uncorrelated sequence is studied. Using Gaussian tools,…
We perform a non-asymptotic analysis on the singular vector distribution under Gaussian noise. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions on a matrix for its first few singular vectors to have near normal distribution. Our result can…
Let $\a$ be a real-valued random variable of mean zero and variance 1. Let $M_n(\a)$ denote the $n \times n$ random matrix whose entries are iid copies of $\a$ and $\sigma_n(M_n(\a))$ denote the least singular value of $M_n(\a)$.…
We study the distribution of the least singular value associated to an ensemble of sparse random matrices. Our motivating example is the ensemble of $N\times N$ matrices whose entries are chosen independently from a Bernoulli distribution…
This work is concerned with finite range bounds on the variance of individual eigenvalues of random covariance matrices, both in the bulk and at the edge of the spectrum. In a preceding paper, the author established analogous results for…
We introduce a class of $M \times M$ sample covariance matrices $\mathcal Q$ which subsumes and generalizes several previous models. The associated population covariance matrix $\Sigma = \mathbb E \cal Q$ is assumed to differ from the…
In many practical situations we would like to estimate the covariance matrix of a set of variables from an insufficient amount of data. More specifically, if we have a set of $N$ independent, identically distributed measurements of an $M$…
Complex Hermitian random matrices with a unitary symmetry can be distinguished by a weight function. When this is even, it is a known result that the distribution of the singular values can be decomposed as the superposition of two…
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…
