We prove that the spectral radius of a large random matrix $X$ with independent, identically distributed complex entries follows the Gumbel law irrespective of the distribution of the matrix elements. This solves a long-standing conjecture…

We study random normal matrix models whose eigenvalues tend to be distributed within a narrow "band" around the unit circle of width proportional to $\frac1n$, where $n$ is the size of matrices. For general radially symmetric potentials…

The competitive spectral radius extends the notion of joint spectral radius to the two-player case: two players alternatively select matrices in prescribed compact sets, resulting in an infinite matrix product; one player wishes to maximize…
