Let $p \in (0,1/2)$ be fixed, and let $B_n(p)$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables with mean $p$. We show that for all $t \ge 0$, \[\mathbb{P}[s_n(B_n(p)) \le tn^{-1/2}] \le C_p t + 2n(1-p)^{n} + C_p…

In this paper, we consider a sequence of selfadjoint matrices $A_n$ having a limiting spectral distribution as $n\to \infty$, and we consider a sequence of full flags $\{0\le p_1^n\le\ldots\le p_i^n\le\ldots\le 1_n\}$ chosen at random…

We prove a Large Deviation Principle for the random spec- tral measure associated to the pair $(H_N; e)$ where $H_N$ is sampled in the GUE(N) and e is a fixed unit vector (and more generally in the $\beta$- extension of this model). The…
