Universal limits for the eigenvalue correlation functions in the bulk of the spectrum are shown for a class of nondeterminantal random matrices known as the fixed trace ensemble.
In the present paper, fixed trace $β$-Hermite ensembles generalizing the fixed trace Gaussian Hermite ensemble are considered. For all $β$, we prove the Wigner semicircle law for these ensembles by using two different methods: one is the moment equivalence method with the help of the matrix model for general $β$, the other is to use asymptotic analysis tools. At the edge of the density, we prove that the edge scaling limit for $β$-HE implies the same limit for fixed trace $β$-Hermite ensembles. Consequently, explicit limit can be given for fixed trace GOE, GUE and GSE. Furthermore, for even $β…
We obtain the recursive identities for the joint moments of the traces of the powers of the resolvent for Gaussian ensembles of random matrices at the soft and hard edges of the spectrum. We also discuss the possible ways to extend these results to the non-Gaussian case.
We present large deviations principles for the moments of the empirical spectral measure of Wigner matrices and empirical measure of $β$-ensembles in three cases : the case of Wigner matrices without Gaussian tails, that is Wigner matrices whose entries have tail distributions decreasing as $e^{-ct^α}$, for some constant $c>0$ and with $α\in (0,2)$, the case of Gaussian Wigner matrices, and the case of $β$-ensembles associated with a convex potential with polynomial growth.
We investigate the linear statistics of random matrices with purely imaginary Bernoulli entries of the form $H_{pq} = \overline{H}_{qp} = \pm i$, that are either independently distributed or exhibit global correlations imposed by the condition $\sum_{q} H_{pq} = 0$. These are related to ensembles of so-called random tournaments and random regular tournaments respectively. Specifically, we construct a random walk within the space of matrices and show that the induced motion of the first $k$ traces in a Chebyshev basis converges to a suitable Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Coupling this with Stein'…
A family of m independent identically distributed random variables indexed by a chemical potential ϕ\in[0,γ] represents piles of particles. As ϕincreases to γ, the mean number of particles per site converges to a maximal density ρ_c<\infty. The distribution of particles conditioned on the total number of particles equal to n does not depend on ϕ(canonical ensemble). For fixed m, as n goes to infinity the canonical ensemble measure behave as follows: removing the site with the maximal number of particles, the distribution of particles in the remaining sites converges to the grand canonical meas…
We consider non-Gaussian extensions of the elliptic Ginibre ensemble of complex non-Hermitian random matrices by fixing the trace $\operatorname{Tr}(XX^*)$ of the matrix $X$ with a hard or soft constraint. These ensembles have correlated matrix entries and non-determinantal joint densities of the complex eigenvalues. We study global and local bulk statistics in these ensembles, in particular in the limit of weak non-Hermiticity introduced by Fyodorov, Khoruzhenko and Sommers. Here, the support of the limiting measure collapses to the real line. This limit was motivated by physics applications …
Let $θ_1,\ldots,θ_n$ be random variables from Dyson's circular $β$-ensemble with probability density function $\operatorname {Const}\cdot\prod_{1\leq j<k\leq n}|e^{iθ_j}-e^{iθ_k}|^β$. For each $n\geq2$ and $β>0$, we obtain some inequalities on $\mathbb{E}[p_μ(Z_n)\bar{p_ν(Z_n)}]$, where $Z_n=(e^{iθ_1},\ldots,e^{iθ_n})$ and $p_μ$ is the power-sum symmetric function for partition $μ$. When $β=2$, our inequalities recover an identity by Diaconis and Evans for Haar-invariant unitary matrices. Further, we have the following: $ \lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb{E}[p_μ(Z_n)\bar{p_ν(Z_n)}]= δ_{μν}(\frac{2}β)^{…
We study ensembles of sparse random block matrices generated from the adjacency matrix of a Erdös-Renyi random graph with $N$ vertices of average degree $Z$, inserting a real symmetric $d \times d$ random block at each non-vanishing entry. We consider some ensembles of random block matrices with rank $r < d$ and with maximal rank, $r=d$. The spectral moments of the sparse random block matrix are evaluated for $N \to \infty$, $d$ finite or infinite, and several probability distributions for the blocks (e.g. fixed trace, bounded trace and Gaussian). Because of the concentration of the probabilit…
We study probabilistic and combinatorial aspects of natural volume-and-trace weighted plane partitions and their continuous analogues. We prove asymptotic limit laws for the largest parts of these ensembles in terms of new and known hard- and soft-edge distributions of random matrix theory. As a corollary we obtain an asymptotic transition between Gumbel and Tracy--Widom GUE fluctuations for the largest part of such plane partitions, with the continuous Bessel kernel providing the interpolation. We interpret our results in terms of two natural models of directed last passage percolation (LPP):…
We study the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) using noncommutative geometry and the homological framework of the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism. Coefficients of the correlation functions in the GUE with respect to the rank $N$ are described in terms of ribbon graph Feynman diagrams that then lead to a counting problem for the corresponding surfaces. The canonical relations provided by this homological setup determine a recurrence relation for these correlation functions. Using this recurrence relation and properties of the Catalan numbers, we determine the leading order behavior of the corre…
Bessel processes associated with the root systems $A_{N-1}$ and $B_N$ describe interacting particle systems with $N$ particles on $\mathbb R$; they form dynamic versions of the classical $β$-Hermite and Laguerre ensembles. In this paper we study corresponding Cauchy processes constructed via some subordination. This leads to $β$-Cauchy ensembles in both cases with explicit distributions. For these distributions we derive central limit theorems for fixed $N$ in the freezing regime, i.e., when the parameters tend to infinity. The results are closely related to corresponding known freezing result…
In this note, we prove that the normalized trace of the resolvent of the beta-Laguerre ensemble eigenvalues is close to the Stieltjes transform of the Marchenko-Pastur (MP) distribution with very high probability, for values of the imaginary part greater than m^{-1+ε}. As an immediate corollary, we obtain convergence of the one-point density to the MP law on short scales. The proof serves to illustrate some simplifications of the method introduced in our previous work to prove a local semi-circle law for Gaussian beta-ensembles.
We compute the expected normalized trace norm (matrix/graph energy) of random symmetric band circulant matrices and graphs in the limit of large sizes, and obtain explicit bounds on the rate of convergence to the limit, and on the probabilities of large deviations. We also show that random symmetric band Toeplitz matrices have the same limit norm assuming that their band widths remain small relative to their sizes. We compare the limit norms across a range of related random matrix and graph ensembles.
This paper is devoted to the Gaussian fluctuations and deviations of the traces of tridiagonal random matrix. Under quite general assumptions, we prove that the traces are approximately normal distributed. Multi-dimensional central limit theorem is also obtained here. These results have several applications to various physical models and random matrix models, such as the Anderson model, the random birth-death Markov kernel, the random birth-death $Q$ matrix and the $β$-Hermite ensemble. Furthermore, under some independent and identically distributed condition, we also prove the large deviation…
The purpose of this paper is to establish universality of the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of some non necessarily Gaussian complex Deformed Wigner Ensembles. The real model is also considered. Our approach is close to the one used by A. Soshnikov in the investigations of classical real or complex Wigner Ensembles. It is based on the computation of moments of traces of high powers of the random matrices under consideration.
A countable group Γis called shift-minimal if every non-trivial measure preserving action of Γweakly contained in the Bernoulli shift of Γon ([0,1]^Γ,λ^Γ) is free. We show that any group Γwhose reduced C^*-algebra admits a unique tracial state is shift-minimal, and that any group Γadmitting a free measure preserving action of cost>1 contains a finite normal subgroup N such that Γ/N is shift-minimal. Any shift-minimal group in turn is shown to have trivial amenable radical. Recurrence arguments are used in studying invariant random subgroups of a wide variety of shift-minimal groups. We also ex…
