Consider the random matrix \(\bW_n = \bB_n + n^{-1}\bX_n^*\bA_n\bX_n\), where \(\bA_n\) and \(\bB_n\) are Hermitian matrices of dimensions \(p \times p\) and \(n \times n\), respectively, and \(\bX_n\) is a \(p \times n\) random matrix with…

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