The Tracy-Widom distributions are among the most famous laws in probability theory, partly due to their connection with Wigner matrices. In particular, for $A=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(a_{ij})_{1 \leq i,j \leq n} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$…

Eigenvalues of Wigner matrices has been a major topic of investigation. A particularly important subclass of such random matrices is formed by the adjacency matrix of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$ equipped with i.i.d.…

We analyse the spectrum of additive finite-rank deformations of $N \times N$ Wigner matrices $H$. The spectrum of the deformed matrix undergoes a transition, associated with the creation or annihilation of an outlier, when an eigenvalue…

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic spectrum of complex or real Deformed Wigner matrices $(M_N)_N$ defined by $M_N=W_N/\sqrt{N}+A_N$ where $W_N$ is an $N\times N$ Hermitian (resp., symmetric) Wigner matrix whose entries have a…

We consider the adjacency matrix $A$ of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph on $N$ vertices with edge probability $d/N$. For $(\log \log N)^4 \ll d \lesssim \log N$, we prove that the eigenvalues near the spectral edge form asymptotically a Poisson…
