We consider $N\times N$ Gaussian random matrices, whose average density of eigenvalues has the Wigner semi-circle form over $[-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2}]$. For such matrices, using a Coulomb gas technique, we compute the large $N$ behavior of the…

Gaps (or spacings) between consecutive eigenvalues are a central topic in random matrix theory. The goal of this paper is to study the tail distribution of these gaps in various random matrix models. We give the first repulsion bound for…

Symmetric tridiagonal matrices appear ubiquitously in mathematical physics, serving as the matrix representation of discrete random Schr\"odinger operators. In this work we investigate the top eigenvalue of these matrices in the large…

We study the linear eigenvalue statistics of large random graphs in the regimes when the mean number of edges for each vertex tends to infinity. We prove that for a rather wide class of test functions the fluctuations of linear eigenvalue…

We prove that the logarithm of the determinant of a Wigner matrix satisfies a central limit theorem in the limit of large dimension. Previous results about fluctuations of such determinants required that the first four moments of the matrix…

We construct explicit families of graphs whose eigenvalues are asymptotically distributed according to Wigner's semicircle law; in other words, that are spectrally indistinguishable from random graphs. However, in other respects they are…

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 $n$…

We study the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}$ of $N \times N$ random matrices in the limit of large $N$. The main focus is on Gaussian $\beta$-ensembles, including in particular the Gaussian orthogonal ($\beta=1$),…

We consider ensembles of real symmetric band matrices with entries drawn from an infinite sequence of exchangeable random variables, as far as the symmetry of the matrices permits. In general the entries of the upper triangular parts of…

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of spiked perturbations of Wigner matrices when the dimension goes to infinity. The entries of the Hermitian Wigner matrix have a distribution which is symmetric and satisfies a…

We investigate the spectral norms of symmetric $N \times N$ matrices from two pseudo-random ensembles. The first is the pseudo-Wigner ensemble introduced in "Pseudo-Wigner Matrices" by Soloveychik, Xiang and Tarokh and the second is its…

The upper tail problem in the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph $G\sim\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$ asks to estimate the probability that the number of copies of a graph $H$ in $G$ exceeds its expectation by a factor $1+\delta$. Chatterjee and Dembo…
