Dec 13, 2018 at 18:03 comment added valle As a physicist, do you recommend any texts on random matrix theory?
Dec 13, 2018 at 17:51 comment added valle Now the equation for $g$ is a cubic. There is only one real solution (when $z$ is real). But the solution is considerably more complicated.
Dec 13, 2018 at 17:32 comment added valle Yes, that means that in the large $N$ limit, a fraction $w$ of the diagonal entries of $D$ are 1, the remaining are zero.

Dec 13, 2018 at 16:10 comment added valle In this case the integral equation is a simple quadratic in $g(z)$. Which root should I take?
Dec 13, 2018 at 16:01 comment added valle $\rho(t) = w \delta(t - 1) + w \delta(t)$ for some $0 < w < 1$.
Dec 13, 2018 at 14:34 comment added valle Thanks. So in general (Hermitian $D$), $g(z)$ is the solution of this integral equation, and then the spectral density of $D+XX^T$ is the inverse Stieltjes transform of $g(z)$? In my case $D$ is deterministic and diagonal, so $\rho(t)$ (in your notation) is a sum of Dirac delta's on the diagonal elements. But I'm not sure if this helps me. In the end I need to compute an expectation over the density of $D+XX^T$. Specifically, $(1/m)\log \det(D+XX^T) = \langle\log(\lambda)\rangle$, where $\lambda$ are the eigenvalues of $D+XX^T$ and the expectation is over its spectral density.
