Why is the spectrum of Erdős–Renyi random graph approximately symmetric?
I am recently self-learning random matrix theory and made some simulations about the spectrum of Erdős–Renyi random graph $G(n,p)$ when $np\to\infty$,
and $np\to c=2,3$.
The plots above are already ...

Has the technique of "sprinkling" been used in studying random matrices?
In 1982, while studying the component sizes of random subgraphs of a hypercube, Ajtai, Komlós, and Szemerédi introduced a technique that came to be known as sprinkling. In this technique, the edges of ...

Generalization: (The "number" of) smaller sized clusters in large random binary matrices follow a descending order. Why?
This is a sequel to the question: Why is number of single cell clusters always greatest in a random matrix?
In their answer, @Aaron Meyerowitz came up with a nice strategy to prove why the number of ...

Why is number of single cell clusters always greatest in a random matrix?
Consider a large $N\times N$ square lattice, where each cell has a probability $p$ of being "occupied" (let's call denote them as "black") and a probability $1-p$ of being empty (let's denote them as "...

Can this particular random matrix model be converted/related to any existing graph theory model?
Context:
This a sequel to the question: Is the Erdős–Rényi giant component result applicable here?
Consider a matrix whose elements are independently assigned a value
$1$ with probability $p$ ...

Why do larger random matrices maximize their number of clusters with lower densities?
Consider a matrix whose elements are independently assigned a value $1$ with probability $p$ and a value $0$ with probability $1-p$.
Define a cluster of cells as a maximal connected component in the ...

Asymptotic results on statistical graph models
This post is partly inspired by this post.
Reference request: results on the asymptotic distribution of singular values related to a random orthogonal matrix
While it is well-known that two basic ...

Singularity of sparse random matrices
The following topic came up in conversation with my office-mate Lionel: Let $p$ be a fixed prime, $c$ a fixed positive real parameter and $n$ a large number. Consider a random $(0,1)$ matrix with ...
