Why is the set of Hermitian matrices with repeated eigenvalue of measure zero?

The Hermitian matrices form a real vector space where we have a Lebesgue measure. In the set of Hermitian matrices with Lebesgue measure, how does it follow that the set of Hermitian matrices with ...

Phase transition in matrix

Playing around with Matlab I noticed something very peculiar: Take the symmetric matrix $A \in \mathbb R^{n \times n}$ defined by $$A_{ij}= i \delta_{ij} - \frac{\varepsilon}{\sqrt{i}\sqrt{j}}\,.$$ ...

Random matrix is positive

This is a follow up question on my previous question here that was on solved in the deterministic setting by Denis Serre, when the perturbation can be separated. Therefore, I decided to split the ...

The effect of random projections on matrices

Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a given normal matrix, i.e. $A^TA=AA^T$. Let $P_s\in\mathbb{R}^n$ be a random projection matrix to an $s$-dimensional subspace in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Suppose $\frac{A+...

Smallest singular value distribution

Let $G_\mathbb{R}\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ and $G_\mathbb{C}\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ denote the real and complex Ginibre random matrices, i.e. random matrices with independent real/complex Gaussian ...

Largest eigenvalues distribution of tridiagonal symmetric random matrix

I would like to find the largest eigenvalue distribution of the following tridiagonal symmetric random matrix in an analytic way. All the ${\lambda}_i$ are distributed the same way with chi-square (...
