In spite of its simplicity, the central limit theorem captures one of the most outstanding phenomena in mathematical physics, that of universality. While this classical result is well understood it is still not very clear what happens to…
We study the spectra and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrices of scale-free networks when bi-directional interaction is allowed, so that the adjacency matrix is real and symmetric. The spectral density shows an exponential decay around…
We give a short, operator-theoretic proof of the asymptotic independence (including a first correction term) of the minimal and maximal eigenvalue of the n \times n Gaussian Unitary Ensemble in the large matrix limit n \to \infty. This is…
Consider any random graph model where potential edges appear independently, with possibly different probabilities, and assume that the minimum expected degree is omega(ln n). We prove that the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of that…
It is known that the fluctuations of suitable linear statistics of Haar distributed elements of the compact classical groups satisfy a central limit theorem. We show that if the corresponding test functions are sufficiently smooth, a rate…
The key to our investigation is an improved (and in a sense sharp) understanding of the survival time of the contact process on star graphs. Using these results, we show that for the contact process on Galton-Watson trees, when the…
In this paper we consider a dynamic version of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph, in which edges independently appear and disappear in time, with the on- and off times being exponentially distributed. The focus lies on the evolution of…
We develop a formalism to compute the statistics of the second largest eigenpair of weighted sparse graphs with $N\gg 1$ nodes, finite mean connectivity and bounded maximal degree, in cases where the top eigenpair statistics is known. The…
Let $X$ be a symmetric, isotropic random vector in $\mathbb{R}^m$ and let $X_1...,X_n$ be independent copies of $X$. We show that under mild assumptions on $\|X\|_2$ (a suitable thin-shell bound) and on the tail-decay of the marginals…
Bollob\'as and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859--865] conjectured the following. If $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on at least $r+1$ vertices and $m$ edges, then $\lambda^2_1(G)+\lambda^2_2(G)\leq \frac{r-1}{r}\cdot2m$,…
We consider the GUE minor process, where a sequence of GUE matrices is drawn from the corner of a doubly infinite array of i.i.d. standard normal variables subject to the symmetry constraint. From each matrix, we take its largest…
Let $G$ denote a near-polygon distance-regular graph with diameter $d\geq 3$, valency $k$ and intersection numbers $a_1>0$, $c_2>1$. Let $\theta_1$ denote the second largest eigenvalue for the adjacency matrix of $G$. We show $\theta_1$ is…
We prove that the largest eigenvalues of the beta ensembles of random matrix theory converge in distribution to the low-lying eigenvalues of the random Schroedinger operator -d^2/dx^2 + x + (2/beta^{1/2}) b_x' restricted to the positive…
Let $$ A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & E^*\\ E & H_2\end{array}\right) \quad \hbox{ and } \quad \wtd A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & O\\ O & H_2\end{array}\right)$$ be two $N$-by-$N$ Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \cdots…
In this paper, we study the effect of sparsity on the appearance of outliers in the semi-circular law. Let $(W_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of random symmetric matrices such that each $W_n$ is $n\times n$ with i.i.d entries above and on…
We study the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of large complex correlated Wishart matrices at the edges of the limiting spectrum. In this setting, the support of the limiting eigenvalue distribution may have several connected components.…

We study the asymptotic spectral behavior of high-dimensional random Gram matrices with sparsity and a variance profile, motivated by applications in wireless communications. Specifically, we consider the Gram matrices $\mathbf S_n=\mathbf…
McKay proved that the limiting spectral measures of the ensembles of $d$-regular graphs with $N$ vertices converge to Kesten's measure as $N\to\infty$. In this paper we explore the case of weighted graphs. More precisely, given a large…
