It is well known that an $n \times n$ Wishart matrix with $d$ degrees of freedom is close to the appropriately centered and scaled Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) if $d$ is large enough. Recent work of Bubeck, Ding, Eldan, and Racz, and…
In this note, we study the Gaussian fluctuations for the Wishart matrices $d^{-1}\mathcal{X}_{n, d}\mathcal{X}^{T}_{n, d}$, where $\mathcal{X}_{n, d}$ is a $n\times d$ random matrix whose entries are jointly Gaussian and correlated with row…
In arXiv:1410.7268v3, the authors consider eigenvalues of overlapping Wishart matrices and prove that its fluctuations asymptotically convergence to the Gaussian free field. In this brief note, their result is extended to show that when the…
We study the high-dimensional asymptotic regimes of correlated Wishart matrices $d^{-1}\mathcal{Y}\mathcal{Y}^T$, where $\mathcal{Y}$ is a $n\times d$ Gaussian random matrix with correlated and non-stationary entries. We prove that under…
We consider high-dimensional Wishart matrices $d^{-1}\mathcal{X}_{n,d}\mathcal{X}_{n,d}^T$, associated with a rectangular random matrix $\mathcal{X}_{n,d}$ of size $n\times d$ whose entries are jointly Gaussian and correlated. Even if we…
Consider a doubly-infinite array of iid centered variables with moment conditions, from which one can extract a finite number of rectangular, overlapping submatrices, and form the corresponding Wishart matrices. We show that under basic…
We study the fluctuations, as $d,n\to \infty$, of the Wishart matrix $\mathcal{W}_{n,d}= \frac{1}{d} \mathcal{X}_{n,d} \mathcal{X}_{n,d}^{T} $ associated to a $n\times d$ random matrix $\mathcal{X}_{n,d}$ with non-Gaussian entries. We…
A Wishart matrix is said to be spiked when the underlying covariance matrix has a single eigenvalue $b$ different from unity. As $b$ increases through $b=2$, a gap forms from the largest eigenvalue to the rest of the spectrum, and with…
We consider the random geometric graph on $n$ vertices drawn uniformly from a $d$--dimensional sphere. We focus on the sparse regime, when the expected degree is constant independent of $d$ and $n$. We show that, when $d$ is larger than $n$…
In this paper, we consider high-dimensional Gaussian graphical models where the true underlying graph is decomposable. A hierarchical $G$-Wishart prior is proposed to conduct a Bayesian inference for the precision matrix and its graph…
Random matrix theory has become a cornerstone in modern statistics and data science, providing fundamental tools for understanding high-dimensional covariance structures. Within this framework, the Wishart matrix plays a central role in…
Consider a high-dimensional Wishart matrix $\bd{W}=\bd{X}^T\bd{X}$ where the entries of $\bd{X}$ are i.i.d. random variables with mean zero, variance one, and a finite fourth moment $\eta$. Motivated by problems in signal processing and…
We study the behavior of a real $p$-dimensional Wishart random matrix with $n$ degrees of freedom when $n,p\rightarrow\infty$ but $p/n\rightarrow 0$. We establish the existence of phase transitions when $p$ grows at the order…
We review connections between phase transitions in high-dimensional combinatorial geometry and phase transitions occurring in modern high-dimensional data analysis and signal processing. In data analysis, such transitions arise as abrupt…

We prove the convergence of the empirical spectral measure of Wishart matrices with size-dependent entries and characterize the limiting law by its moments. We apply our result to the cases where the entries are Bernoulli variables with…
Gaussian covariance graph models encode marginal independence among the components of a multivariate random vector by means of a graph $G$. These models are distinctly different from the traditional concentration graph models (often also…

Gaussian graphical models are relevant tools to learn conditional independence structure between variables. In this class of models, Bayesian structure learning is often done by search algorithms over the graph space. The conjugate prior…
When considering a graphical Gaussian model ${\mathcal{N}}_G$ Markov with respect to a decomposable graph $G$, the parameter space of interest for the precision parameter is the cone $P_G$ of positive definite matrices with fixed zeros…
