In this article we consider the spectrum of a Laplacian matrix, also known as the Markov matrix, under the independence assumption. We assume that the entries have a variance profile. Motivated by recent works on generalized Wigner matrices…

Let ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ be the set of all $d$-regular directed graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $G$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from ${\mathcal D}_{n,d}$ and $M$ be its adjacency matrix. We show that $M$ is invertible with probability…

Consider a random vector $\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{\Sigma}^{1/2}\mathbf{x}$, where the $p$ elements of the vector $\mathbf{x}$ are i.i.d. real-valued random variables with zero mean and finite fourth moment, and $\mathbf{\Sigma}^{1/2}$ is a…

Let $\lambda$ be the second largest eigenvalue in absolute value of a uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. It was famously conjectured by Alon and proved by Friedman that if $d$ is fixed independent of $n$, then…

We consider the random matrix ensemble with an external source \[ \frac{1}{Z_n} e^{-n \Tr({1/2}M^2 -AM)} dM \] defined on $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, where $A$ is a diagonal matrix with only two eigenvalues $\pm a$ of equal…

In this text, we consider an N by N random matrix X such that all but o(N) rows of X have W non identically zero entries, the other rows having lass than $W$ entries (such as, for example, standard or cyclic band matrices). We always…

In this article we consider the graph alignment problem from the perspective of high-dimensional statistics: we aim to estimate an unknown permutation $\pi^*$ from the observation of two correlated random adjacency matrices $A_1$, $A_2$. We…

Let the dimension $N$ of data and the sample size $T$ tend to $\infty$ with $N/T \to c > 0$. The spectral properties of a sample correlation matrix $\mathbf{C}$ and a sample covariance matrix $\mathbf{S}$ are asymptotically equal whenever…

It was conjectured by Alon and proved by Friedman that a random $d$-regular graph has nearly the largest possible spectral gap, more precisely, the largest absolute value of the non-trivial eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix is at most…

In the current work we are concerned with sequences of graphs having a grid geometry, with a uniform local structure in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^d$, $d\ge 1$. When $\Omega=[0,1]$, such graphs include the standard Toeplitz…

We compare the spectrum and the localisation properties of the eigenmodes of the Laplacian and the adjacency matrix of 2D random geometric graphs, using numerical diagonalization of these matrices for different system sizes and…

We study the Tracy-Widom (TW) distribution $f_\beta(a)$ in the limit of large Dyson index $\beta \to +\infty$. This distribution describes the fluctuations of the rescaled largest eigenvalue $a_1$ of the Gaussian (alias Hermite) ensemble…

We consider fluctuations of the largest eigenvalues of the random matrix model $A+UBU^{*}$ where $A$ and $B$ are $N \times N$ deterministic Hermitian (or symmetric) matrices and $U$ is a Haar-distributed unitary (or orthogonal) matrix. We…

Real non-symmetric matrices may have either real or complex conjugate eigenvalues. These matrices can be seen to be pseudo-symmetric as $\eta M \eta^{-1} = M^t$, where the metric $\eta$ could be secular (a constant matrix) or depending upon…

The question of whether the central limit theorem (CLT) holds for the total number of edges in exponential random graph models (ERGMs) in the subcritical region of parameters has remained an open problem. In this paper, we establish the…

Consider the eigenvalues $\lambda_i(M_n)$ (in increasing order) of a random Hermitian matrix $M_n$ whose upper-triangular entries are independent with mean zero and variance one, and are exponentially decaying. By Wigner's semicircular law,…

Random sampling of large Markov matrices with a tunable spectral gap, a nonuniform stationary distribution, and a nondegenerate limiting empirical spectral distribution (ESD) is useful. Fix $c>0$ and $p>0$. Let $A_n$ be the adjacency matrix…

The second largest eigenvalue of a transition matrix $P$ has connections with many properties of the underlying Markov chain, and especially its convergence rate towards the stationary distribution. In this paper, we give an asymptotic…

We consider sparse inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ensembles where edges are connected independently with probability $p_{ij}$. We assume that $p_{ij}= \varepsilon_N f(w_i, w_j)$ where $(w_i)_{i\ge 1}$ is a sequence of…

We present results on the concentration properties of the spectral norm $\|A_p\|$ of the adjacency matrix $A_p$ of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. First we consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process and prove that…
