We study the spectrum of an asymmetric random matrix with block structured variances. The rows and columns of the random square matrix are divided into $D$ partitions with arbitrary size (linear in $N$). The parameters of the model are the…

We study two spiked models of random matrices under general frameworks corresponding respectively to additive deformation of random symmetric matrices and multiplicative perturbation of random covariance matrices. In both cases, the…
In this paper, we study the fluctuation of linear eigenvalue statistics of Random Band Matrices defined by $M_{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{b_{n}}}W_{n}$, where $W_{n}$ is a $n\times n$ band Hermitian random matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$, i.e., the…
We characterize under what conditions $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ have the property that the spectrum of $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is independent of $t$ (thus, the trigonometric pencil $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is…
Let $\mathbf{B}_n=\mathbf {S}_n(\mathbf {S}_n+\alpha_n\mathbf {T}_N)^{-1}$, where $\mathbf {S}_n$ and $\mathbf {T}_N$ are two independent sample covariance matrices with dimension $p$ and sample sizes $n$ and $N$, respectively. This is the…

We extend the multiplicative submodularity of the principal determinants of a nonnegative definite hermitian matrix to other spectral functions. We show that if $f$ is the primitive of a function that is operator monotone on an interval…
Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…
