Local semicircle law with imprimitive variance matrix

Probability 2013-11-11 v1

Abstract

We extend the proof of the local semicircle law for generalized Wigner matrices given in [4] to the case when the matrix of variances has an eigenvalue 1 -1 . In particular, this result provides a short proof of the optimal local Marchenko-Pastur law at the hard edge (i.e. around zero) for sample covariance matrices XX \boldsymbol{\mathrm{X}}^\ast \boldsymbol{\mathrm{X}} , where the variances of the entries of X \boldsymbol{\mathrm{X}} may vary.
