For random combinatorial optimization problems, there has been much progress in establishing laws of large numbers and computing limiting constants for the optimal value of various problems. However, there has not been as much success in…

Consider a $N\times n$ random matrix $Y_n=(Y_{ij}^{n})$ where the entries are given by $$ Y_{ij}^{n}=\frac{\sigma_{ij}(n)}{\sqrt{n}} X_{ij}^{n} $$ the $X_{ij}^{n}$ being centered, independent and identically distributed random variables…

We study sample covariance matrices arising from multi-level components of variance. Thus, let $ B_n=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=1}^NT_{j}^{1/2}x_jx_j^TT_{j}^{1/2}$, where $x_j\in R^n$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian, and…

We prove two conjectures in spectral extremal graph theory involving the linear combinations of graph eigenvalues. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$, and $\bar{G}$ be the complement of $G$.…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n$. Both $\lambda_1 + \lambda_n$ and the odd girth of $G$ can be seen as measures of the bipartiteness of $G$. Csikv\'ari proved in 2022 that for odd girth 5…

In this paper, we study the complex Wigner matrices $M_n=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}W_n$ whose eigenvalues are typically in the interval $[-2,2]$. Let $\lambda_1\leq \lambda_2...\leq\lambda_n$ be the ordered eigenvalues of $M_n$. Under the…

Let $A_n$ be an $n\times n$ random symmetric matrix with $(A_{ij})_{i< j}$ i.i.d. mean $0$, variance 1, following a subGaussian distribution and diagonal elements i.i.d. following a subGaussian distribution with a fixed variance. We…

For any $\epsilon > 0$, we show that if $G$ is a regular graph on $n \gg_\epsilon 1$ vertices that is $\epsilon$-far (differs by at least $\epsilon n^2$ edges) from any Tur\'{a}n graph, then its second eigenvalue $\lambda_2$ satisfies…

Let $A$ be the (rescaled) adjacency matrix of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs $\cal G(N,p)$. For $N^{-1+\tau} \leqslant p\leqslant N^{-\tau}$, we study the fluctuation of $f(A)_{ii}$ on the global and mesoscopic spectral scales. We show that…

Let $\bY =\bR+\bX$ be an $M\times N$ matrix, where $\bR$ is a rectangular diagonal matrix and $\bX$ consists of $i.i.d.$ entries. This is a signal-plus-noise type model. Its signal matrix could be full rank, which is rarely studied in…
